Introduction to v7

What's new?

Dropped support for Internet Explorer 9 and 10.
For added flexibility we moved the main.css file to a separate repository. This change allows projects (including HTML5 Boilerplate itself) to consume main.css as a whole, while also allowing the component styles to be used individually in different, and hopefully interesting, ways.
Upgraded Normalize to v8.0.1, Modernizr to v3.7.1, jQuery to v3.4.1 and server-configs-apache (the .htaccess file) to v3.2.1
Big docs update! We fixed links, removed IE9/IE10 specific info, made touch icons section more concise, added details on security.txt and generally cleaned things up.
That's just the start of all the goodness. Check out the Changelog for all the details.
