--- # 2.0.0 (2016-10-29) **The milestone [Version 2.0.0](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/northem/milestone/2) release!** The whole project, including both sub-palettes and related sub-projects/ports have been rewritten and cleaned up to adapt to the new project setup like the [Nord](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord) project. ## Features ### Naming Scheme **Color names** The current naming scheme, where each color got an individual name based on the value, has been replaced with an numbered format. Example: `darkest-gray` has been renamed to `northem0`, `dark-gray` to `northem1`. This goes on with a continuous numerating where the current position of a color represents its number. ![Northem Palette Overview](https://cdn.rawgit.com/arcticicestudio/northem/develop/src/assets/northem-overview.svg) **Components** Next to this, the color palette has been divided into four named components to represent the different color effects where each component contains a different amount of colors: 1. **Dark Water** `northem0` - `northem3` 2. **Light Wind** `northem4` - `northem6` 3. **Ice** `northem7` - `northem10` 4. **Rainbow** `northem11` - `northem15` This naming convention allows an uncomplicated use for terminals and preserves the compatibility to similar projects like [base16](chriskempson.com/projects/base16). The X11 color scheme names and RGB value variables has been removed, but X11 color names are still included in the Sass- and LESSCSS source documentations. ### New color A new color has been added to close the gap of the missing sixteenth color. The value of the color is `#CACACA` which has been added to the *Light Wind* component. This color is calculated from the components base color `#DEDEDE` via the Sass method `darken(#DEDEDE, 8%)`. ### Source Formats **Sass** All [Sass](http://sass-lang.com) sources has been documented via [SassDoc](http://sassdoc.com) and a `template-css.scss` is available to compile a CSS file with all color variables which is compatible to the CSS specification. The SassDoc is configurable via the `.sassdocrc` file. (@arcticicestudio, #5, PR #16, aadccc12) **LESSCSS** All [LESSCSS](http://lesscss.org) sources has been documented via [KSS](http://warpspire.com/kss). (@arcticicestudio, #6, PR #17, 46c7e316) **Native** All native files has been recreated containing the new color and new color naming scheme. (@arcticicestudio, #7, PR #14, 17fa045d) ### Build Tools **Gulp** Introduced a [Gulp](gulpjs.com) file to compile Sass sources to CSS, provide a local live-server by watching the filesystem for changes and build the new [SassDoc](http://sassdoc.com). (@arcticicestudio, #9, PR #12, b4d44713) **Travis CI and Circle CI** Added `.travis.yml` and `circle.yml` configuration files for continuous integration web services. (@arcticicestudio, #8, PR #13, 0ec41baa) ### NPM A `package.json` file has been added to provide project meta data and dependencies for a release as a [NPM](http://npmjs.com) package.
