Gradients
The linear-gradient and radial-gradient mixins have been deprecated. Instead use the background-image mixin and pass it a gradient function. The deprecation warning will print out the correct call for you to use.
@import "compass/css3/images"

Guides
Susy
- Susy - Responsive grids for Compass.
"You can build grids of all kinds with Susy. Define you grid using any unit of measurement (ems, pixels, percentages, inches, etc.) and then determine how and when you want that grid responding to the viewport. Susy converts all internal grid-widths into percentages, so that once you have a grid it is able to respond and flex in any way you choose. How the grid responds depends on the outer container."

Vertical rhythm
If you don't reset browser margin and padding defaults, you're gonna have a bad time.
- http://compass-style.org/reference/compass/typography/vertical_rhythm/ - px based
- https://github.com/OliverJAsh/vertical-rhythm - em based
vertical-rhythmic
- https://github.com/pyrsmk/vertical-rhythmic - em based
Usage
1em and 1.5em are the defaults (16px being browser em default. line-height is normally 1.4em)
$base-font-size: 1em; $base-line-height: 1.5em; @import "vertical-rhythmic";
@include $font-size() number $font-size : font size, in ems integer $lines : number of whitespace lines for the line-height Keeps base line proportions by default
first basic method; default-font-size: 0.9em and line-height: 1.4em h1 the space of two 1.4em lines
@include $font-size(1.5)
second basic;
font-size:1.5em; line-height:rhythm(auto,1.5em);
@include margin() integer $lines : number of whitespace lines (default: 1) number $font-size : actual font-size, in ems, to calculate with (default: 1em) integer $border-width : width of additionnal borders around the box Useful to substract borders from the whitespace to not break the rhythm @include margin-top integer $lines : number of whitespace lines (default: 1) number $font-size : actual font-size, in ems, to calculate with (default: 1em) integer $border-width : width of additionnal borders around the box Useful to substract borders from the whitespace to not break the rhythm @include margin-bottom etc. @include padding @include padding-top @include padding-bottom @include border @include border-top @include border-bottom @include outline
h1 { @include font-size(1.5em); } // 2nd method
// rhythm() can be used directly

Responsive
- Breakpoint makes writing media queries in Sass super simple. Create a variable using a simplified syntax based on most commonly used media queries, then call it using the breakpoint mixin. Breakpoint handles all of the heavy lifting, from writing the media query itself, to handling cross-browser compatibility issues, so you can focus on what's important: making sure your website looks its best.
- https://github.com/nex3/sass/issues/408#issuecomment-6086901
- http://jakearchibald.github.com/sass-ie/ - Problem is, Internet Explorer prior to 9 ignores anything within media query blocks, leaving those browsers with mobile styles. Not all of us can get away with that, but thankfully, as Chris Eppstein points out, Sass 3.2 (not yet released) can generate a separate stylesheet with everything it needs to create a "desktop" look.
