We need to give the online documentation and the included README files a thorough review and update before 7.x-5.0 is released.

In IRC just now, Tim Plunket found a nice tutorial for using "compass watch" from the get-go. http://thesassway.com/beginner/getting-started-with-sass-and-compass

All the other tutorial talk about using the sass CLI tool. :-p Or bury "compass watch" in a laundry list of other compass commands.

The project page has been updated with a new features summary. http://drupal.org/project/zen

http://zengrids.com/ documentation needs updating too.

The README files included with Zen are up-to-date now, I believe.

Is there any guide, how to update 7.x-3.1 to 7.x-5.0? I tried to update, but I have error massages and the site seems strange. So I rolled back.. What should I take care of?
Thank you!

From the README.txt in the STARTERKIT this whole section needs to be rewritten.

3. Choose your preferred page layout method or grid system.

By default your new sub-theme is using a fixed-width layout. If you want a
liquid layout for your theme, delete the unneeded fixed-width.css and
fixed-width-rtl.css files and edit your sub-theme's .info file and replace
the reference to fixed-width.css with layout-liquid.css.

I have problems like hariskar #7 when changing from 3.1 to 5.0

Would also love to see a guide, how to update 7.x-3.1 to 7.x-5.0!

If you have a working sub-theme that uses Zen 7.x-3.1, I see no reason to update the base theme to Zen 7.x-5.0. The Zen 7.x-3.x branch will continue to be supported and maintained and upgrading to Zen 5 basically means you need to re-do your site to be responsive. There's no magic checkbox that can make a site responsive, so you can't really write upgrade docs for that kind of change.

The same thing happened when Zen went from 6.x-1.x to 6.x-2.x. There's no reason to upgrade the base theme to a new branch if the sub-theme is already built. :-)
