- Note sure it supports bootstrap 4?

The Road Ahead
In parallel to this release we’ve been working on several significant rewrites that will make it into future releases:
Datepicker and Globalize: We’re working on a full rewrite of the datepicker widget. The rewrite will feature a far simpler API that will make customizations a lot easier. The rewrite builds on top of the rewritten Globalize library, which builds on top of CLDR, a comprehensive source for globalization data.
