AdminLTE v4.8.5

A housekeeping patch: building AdminLTE from source is quiet again. Nothing in dist/ changed behaviour — the compiled CSS is byte-identical to 4.8.4, so this release matters only if you compile the Sass yourself.

Fixed

npm run production printed six Sass deprecation warnings.

Sass 1.95.0 deprecated the ternary if($condition, $if-true, $if-false) in favour of the CSS if(). The palette sheets used it in three places — lte-needs-aa() in colors/_variables.scss, and the text-colour pick in colors/_primary.scss twice — and since both adminlte-colors.scss and adminlte-colors-v3.scss pull those partials in, three call sites produced six warnings.

They are now plain @if statements. Deliberately not the if(sass(cond): a; else: b) syntax Sass suggests: that would require Sass >= 1.95 of everyone compiling AdminLTE from source, and we ship the SCSS. @if compiles on every version, produces byte-identical CSS, and stays stylelint-clean.

Worth recording for anyone who chases this upstream: Bootstrap uses the ternary if() 82 times across bootstrap/scss and warns too — but css-compile already passes --quiet-deps, so none of that reaches your console. Every warning in this report was AdminLTE’s own code (#6111, reported by @lfiorini).

Maintenance

• Dev dependencies refreshed — sass 1.102.0 → 1.103.0, astro 7.2.3 → 7.2.4, @astrojs/mdx 7.0.6 → 7.0.7, happy-dom 20.11.2 → 20.11.6. All within their current majors.
• The docs build moved off Astro’s deprecated markdown.rehypePlugins. Astro 7.2.4 deprecates the top-level remarkPlugins / rehypePlugins / remarkRehype keys in favour of an explicit markdown.processor — which would have put a fresh warning into the very command this release is about. The responsive-tables plugin now goes through unified() from @astrojs/markdown-remark; same pipeline, all 90 built pages byte-identical.
• nanoid bumped to 3.3.18 in the lockfile — GHSA-2v37-7h3g-55p8 (high), transitive and dev-only. npm audit now reports zero vulnerabilities. Nothing shipped in dist/ was ever affected.
• TypeScript stays on 6.0.3. 7.0.2 is out, but typescript-eslint still declares peerDependencies.typescript: ">=4.8.4 <6.1.0" and @astrojs/check accepts ^5 || ^6, so the toolchain still cannot move.
