After a 2 months hiatus Tailwind Weekly is back šŸŽ‰. Starting next week, every Saturday Iā€™ll grace your inbox with the glory of our ecosystem updates and Iā€™ll also be experimenting with new stuff (like adding new sections) in the future. You know, to spice things up. But this issue is a special one. You see, right when I put Tailwind Weekly on pause, the Tailwind team started moving at the speed of light and launching new stuff on a cadence never seen before! This email is more or less a summary of those updates since the last issue. Iā€™ll try to keep it short and sweet, starting withā€¦ ## šŸŒŸNews ### We got 3 new minor versions [V1.7.0 gave us:](https://tailwindcss.com/blog/tailwindcss-1-7?ref=tailwindweekly.com) - Built-in support for background gradients - New background-clip utilities - New feature flagging and deprecation system to use new breaking changes stuff today, that will be native in v2.0 - New gap classes names, set under the *removeDeprecatedGapUtilities* flag - New *contents* display utility - Default letter-spacing per font-size - New divide border styles - \+ other stuff [V1.8 introduced](https://tailwindcss.com/blog/tailwindcss-1-8?ref=tailwindweekly.com): - New *font-variant-numeric* utilities - New *place-items*, *place-content*, *place-self*, *justify-items,* and *justify-self* utilities - Dark mode variant (experimental) - \+ other stuff [V1.9 released:](https://tailwindcss.com/blog/tailwindcss-1-9?ref=tailwindweekly.com) - New *presets* key that makes it possible to configure a custom ā€œbase configurationā€ for your projects. - New utilities for grid-auto-columns and grid-auto-rows - New Focus indicator improvements and configurable outlines - Extended border radius, rotate, and skew scales - \+ other stuff We also got a [v2.0 alpha release](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/releases/tag/v2.0.0-alpha.1?ref=tailwindweekly.com) packed with A LOT of new stuff, be sure to check it out! ![](https://tailwindweekly.com/content/images/2025/10/play--1-.jpg) ### [Introducing Tailwind Play ā€“ Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/blog/introducing-tailwind-play?ref=tailwindweekly.com) Remember [tailwind.run](https://tailwind.run/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)?

Well, that idea is now a small but growing library called Headless UI. As of now they have React and Vue versions but Alpineā€™s is coming soon and they also made new components like [Dropdowns](https://codesandbox.io/s/headlessuivue-menu-example-70br3?file=%2Fsrc%2FApp.vue&ref=tailwindweekly.com) and [Toggles](https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/headlessuivue-switch-example-8ycp6?ref=tailwindweekly.com). ![](https://tailwindweekly.com/content/images/2025/10/lap--1-.jpeg) ### [Tailwind got a new youtube channel](https://tailwindcss.com/blog/whats-new-in-tailwindcss-on-youtube?ref=tailwindweekly.com) The Tailwind team decided to up their youtube game and itā€™s definitely paying off, Simon (employee #2) is doing an excellent job and Iā€™m really liking the content so far. ![](https://tailwindweekly.com/content/images/2025/10/image-48.jpg) ### [Introducing Heroicons.com](https://tailwindcss.com/blog/introducing-heroicons?ref=tailwindweekly.com) Heroicons, the icons pack made by Tailwindā€™s Designer [Steve](https://x.com/steveschoger?ref=tailwindweekly.com), is now an official icons companion for TailwindCSS and has [its own website](https://heroicons.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.com).
