Forms Fix the disabled text color for floating labels.

Utilities The .text-bg-* utilities now use CSS variables.

Sass Add new variable $navbar-dark-icon-color . Remove duplicate $alert variable. Add new variable $vr-border-width for customizing vertical‑rule width.

Documentation Add search functionality to the homepage. Improve responsive behavior on dashboard examples. Enhance rendering of the cheatsheet example in dark mode.
