Tailwind CSS versions
If you are new to Tailwind CSS, you may be wondering what version you should use.

New users often ask themselves questions such as:

What is the latest version?

  • What are the changes in the latest version compared to the previous one?
  • Is the latest version stable already?
  • Is there sufficient support in the form of third-part tools, plugins, and add-ons for the latest version?
  • What version should I use?
  • Which version does this tutorial apply to?

Let's answer these questions one by one. It will be quite short:

What is the latest version of Tailwind CSS?
The latest version is Tailwind version 3. Its stable release took place on December 9, 2021.

What are the most important changes in the latest version?
Quoting from the official Tailwind CSS documentation:

Is the latest version stable already?
Yes, it is already stable as of December 9, 2021.

It took a long time to develop, so it is extremely refined, carefully prepared and ready to use.

Is there sufficient support in the form of third-part tools, plugins, and add-ons for the latest version?
Virtually everyone has already migrated to the latest version and new solutions are created basically only for the newest version 3.

What version should I use?
I hope that after the arguments above, this is already a simple answer for you.

Use Tailwind CSS version 3.

Which version does this tutorial apply to?
Of course, this tutorial is for the latest version, Tailwind CSS 3.
