## [5.0.0] - 2025-09-22



### 🚀 Major Features

#### Modern Build System
- **Migrated from Grunt to Vite**, then standardized on **Rollup** for library builds (kept Babel/Terser/CSS pipeline)
- **ES5 Transpilation**: Source code uses modern JavaScript (ES11) but distributes as ES5-compatible code
- **Version-Specific Builds**: Generate Bootstrap 3, 4, and 5 specific builds instead of universal build
- **Source Maps**: Complete source map support for debugging minified code
- **Tree Shaking**: Optimized bundle sizes with dead code elimination

#### Bootstrap 5 Support
- **Complete Bootstrap 5 compatibility** with proper markup structures
- **Bootstrap 3, 4, and 5 renderer system** with shared AbstractRenderer base class
- **Removed Automatic Bootstrap Version Detection**: Explicit version builds eliminate runtime detection
- **Modern CSS Classes**: Updated to use current Bootstrap 5 class names and structure

#### Accessibility Improvements (ARIA)
- **ARIA Spinbutton Role**: Input elements now have `role="spinbutton"` for screen readers
- **Value Attributes**: Automatic `aria-valuemin`, `aria-valuemax`, and `aria-valuenow` management
- **Button Labels**: Descriptive `aria-label` attributes on increment/decrement buttons
- **Input Association**: Buttons are associated with inputs via `aria-describedby`

#### Native HTML5 Spinner Synchronization
- **Bidirectional Sync**: TouchSpin settings sync with native `min`, `max`, and `step` attributes
- **Native Attribute Updates**: Automatic sync when TouchSpin settings change programmatically
- **External Change Detection**: Automatic detection of external attribute changes via MutationObserver
- **Precedence Chain**: TouchSpin settings > Native attributes > data-bts-* attributes

#### TypeScript Support
- **Comprehensive JSDoc**: Complete type annotations for TypeScript compatibility
- **Type Definitions**: TouchSpinOptions, TouchSpinRenderer, and TouchSpinElements interfaces
- **IDE Support**: Enhanced autocomplete and IntelliSense in modern editors
- **Event Documentation**: Complete @fires annotations for all TouchSpin events
- **Type Safety**: Null-safe operations and cross-environment timer typing

### 🧪 Testing Infrastructure Overhaul

#### Modern Testing Stack
- **Migrated from Jest+Puppeteer to Vitest+Playwright** for faster, more reliable tests
- **94 comprehensive tests** covering all functionality with 100% pass rate
- **Browser-based testing** with real Chrome/Firefox/Safari execution
- **Coverage reporting** with HTML reports and LCOV output for IDE integration
- **Test Isolation**: Each test operates on isolated TouchSpin instances using testid system

#### Test Automation Features
- **TestID Propagation**: Input testids automatically propagate to wrapper containers
- **Structured Test Reports**: Organized under `reports/` directory with HTML output
- **CI/CD Ready**: GitHub Actions workflow with artifact upload and browser installation
- **Cross-Browser Testing**: Support for Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit engines

### 🛡️ Robustness & Edge Case Fixes

#### Critical Edge Cases Resolved
- **Floating-Point Precision**: Fixed modulo operations on decimal steps using integer scaling
- **Memory Leak Prevention**: Proper cleanup of event handlers and MutationObserver on destroy
- **Runtime Error Prevention**: Validates `decimals` parameter to prevent `toFixed()` crashes
- **Blur Handling**: Stops spinning timers when input loses focus to prevent runaway spinning
- **Step Validation**: Handles `step="any"`, zero, and negative step values gracefully

#### Blur-Based Sanitization
- **Universal Focus Loss Handling**: Sanitization now triggers on ANY focus loss (Tab, click away, blur) instead of Enter key only
- **Unified Change Events**: Eliminated duplicate change event firing through single focusout handler
- **Consistent Behavior**: One change event per value commitment when sanitized value actually differs
- **Removed Tab Suppression**: Simplified architecture by removing complex Tab key suppression logic

#### Type Safety & Validation
- **Min/Max Normalization**: Consistent number type conversion throughout plugin lifecycle
- **Configuration Validation**: Robust validation of all numeric settings with safe fallbacks
- **NaN Protection**: Safe handling of non-numeric inputs and calculation edge cases
- **Event Handler Cleanup**: Complete removal of namespaced event handlers on destroy

### 🏗️ Architecture Improvements

#### Code Quality & Maintainability
- **New Framework-Agnostic Renderer System**: Clean architectural pattern for CSS framework compatibility
  - AbstractRenderer base class providing framework-agnostic foundation for any CSS framework
  - Template-based renderers for different frameworks (currently Bootstrap 3/4/5, extensible to Tailwind, Foundation, Bulma, etc.)
  - Each renderer contains hard-coded HTML templates with framework-specific CSS classes
  - Framework identification via `getFrameworkId()` returning string identifiers (e.g., "bootstrap3", "tailwind", "foundation")
  - Framework-specific logic implemented as private methods within each renderer
  - Each renderer fully self-contained and independent
- **Multi-Framework Architecture**: System designed from the ground up to support any CSS framework, not just Bootstrap
- **JSDoc Documentation**: Professional-grade documentation with usage examples
- **ESLint/JSHint Compliance**: Updated configuration for ES11 features with style consistency
- **Memory Management**: Proper cleanup patterns and observer lifecycle management

#### Developer Experience
- **Hot Reload Development**: Vite dev server with instant updates during development
- **Build Integrity Checks**: Automated verification that dist files match source changes
- **Professional Documentation**: Removed marketing language, added factual descriptions
- **GitHub Sponsors**: Added support for ongoing maintenance and development

### 🔧 Breaking Changes

#### Build System
- **Removed Universal Build**: No longer generates single file supporting all Bootstrap versions
- **Version-Specific Builds Required**: Must choose Bootstrap 3, 4, or 5 specific build
- **New File Names**: `jquery.touchspin-bs[3|4|5].js` instead of single universal file

#### API Changes
- **Removed Automatic Bootstrap Detection**: Explicit version builds eliminate runtime detection
- **New Framework-Agnostic Renderer API**: Clean renderer interface designed for any CSS framework
  - AbstractRenderer base class with universal methods: `getFrameworkId()`, `buildInputGroup()`, `buildAdvancedInputGroup()`, `buildVerticalButtons()`, `updatePrefixPostfix()`
  - Framework renderers implement all HTML generation through template-based approach
  - No class mapping abstractions - all CSS classes embedded directly in framework-specific HTML templates
  - Designed to support any CSS framework: Bootstrap, Tailwind, Foundation, Bulma, custom frameworks
- **Removed Legacy Renderer**: ~200 lines of compatibility code eliminated in favor of clean renderer system
- **Improved Event Handler Cleanup**: Enhanced destroy method with explicit event listing for backward compatibility
