Autoprefixer is my favourite part of the build process (using Gulp). Makes life much easier. Would recommend.

Ditto. Just decided to start using it, decided a browser baseline (IE9 in my case) and used it. Have stopped writing prefixes and never had a problem with Autoprefixer, I've pretty much forgotten it's there.

"By the people and for the people"? What's up with the political message on top of this?
vdaniuk
Do you have a problem with that?
Udo
No, I'm curious. Aren't you? Or does everyone besides me already know what it means and what the connection is to the software?
vdaniuk
Yeah, I am curious, too. I misjudged the tone of your comment, bad assumption on my part.

Isn't the person (team?) who makes Autoprefixer Russian? I wonder if this is a subtle swipe at the political climate there.

It doesn't necessarily seem _political_ to use flag mottos for release titles.

If he or especially she did, the wouldn't be allowed to have a problem with that in Algeria - or any islamic nation for that matter. That's the hilarious irony of it.

Add in "of the people" and it's the basis of representative democracy.

Having a little browse through their releases (https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer/releases), it seems like many of them are national mottos, qv. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_mottos

This one is Algeria's.

That's the what - as for the why, your guess is as good as mine.

The docs are not clear on one point: will it work correctly if I pass, say bootstrap.css through it? Or will it add duplicate prefixes?
ZeroGravitas
It will actually remove prefixes that aren't needed, as well as not duplicating any existing ones that it intends to keep.

hopefully autoprefixer-cli is fixed. My makefile builds have been failing randomly and unreproducably since they split it out of core.

Autoprefixer is what made made me to ditch Compass a couple of years ago in favor of pure SCSS. Great work.
