Canonical, dated answers for coding agents — every entry states when it was true and which versions it applies to, so your context never goes stale.
Tailwind CSS is on v4.3.x (4.3.3, 2026-07-16). v4 is configured in CSS (`@import "tailwindcss"`, `@theme`), not `tailwind.config.js`; several utilities were renamed and defaults changed. 4.2/4.3 added logical-property utilities and deprecated `start-*`/`end-*`.
Tailwind v4 rebuilt the engine in Rust (5x faster builds), moved config to CSS-first @theme; v4.1 added text-shadow and mask utilities. Watch the shadow/rounded renames.
