Minified LESS/CSS Output Changes

[nissicreative]

Since updating to the latest CodeKit version, minified CSS files now concatenate multiple rules to a single, super-long line. This makes it very difficult to do diff checks between CSS files, and makes them pretty much human-unreadable. Furthermore, some—but not all—comments are preserved and appear in the minified output.

I'm assuming this has to do with a change to the LESS compiler? Is there any way to specify the old behavior, where each rule appears on its own line?

Yep. The new version of Less uses a better compressor, so that's the cause of the changes.

Any issues would need to be raised with the Less team directly.

@bdkjones so what's the difference now between Minified and Compressed? Because to me it looks to be the same thing.
