# 2.0.0 - Remove the images path override from the helpers partial ([PR #292](alphagov/govuk_elements#292)). This will break background images that are currently using the `file-url` function from [the url-helpers partial in the frontend toolkit](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk_frontend_toolkit/blob/d54c9b2 6d314a6e6cb50ba90f6e96ca50049498f/stylesheets/_url-helpers.scss). As `$path` will vary from project to project you will need to define this in your main application stylesheet. - Bump govuk frontend toolkit to 4.16.1 ([PR #288](alphagov/govuk_elements#288)). This adds space key activation to links with a role of button. - Form validation patterns for conditionally revealing content ([PR #286](alphagov/govuk_elements#286)) - Centre text on full-width buttons ([PR #289](alphagov/govuk_elements#289)) - Lint JS code using [StandardJS](http://standardjs.com/) ([PR #290](alphagov/govuk_elements#290)) *This version deprecates external link styles. If your service has user research that indicates that external links are useful (or not) then we’d like to hear from you either on Slack, [digital-service-designers](https://groups.google.com/a/digital.cabinet- office.gov.uk/forum/#!forum/digital-service-designers) or [opening an issue](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk_elements/issues/new).* # 1.2.2 - Bump govuk frontend toolkit to 4.14.4 (PR #278) - Add a .column-full class (PR #270) - Add a file upload example (PR #268) - Remove the blue outline from the main content area (PR #265) - Fix legend text wrapping in IE (PR #248) # 1.2.1 - Consistent spacing underneath block labels and toggled content (PR #229) - Remove underlines from abbreviations in Firefox (PR #241)

i made and dropped a version of the banner with a BLACK box containing the word RESEARCH for ours ... not the best solution but was better than nothing to start with and was an easy fix/solution. |

Two potential solutions in #146.

we need to do research on this to make sure the solution really works - I'm not confident a small 'prototype' banner similar to the beta banner will, for example. I would worry that anything dismissible might be dismissed without being read, or forgotten, or a previous user of a shared device dismisses it before the current user. |

GOV.UK prototypes look just like GOV.UK. There's a risk that members of the public will find a prototype and not understand that it's not the real thing, leading to confusion, disappointment and perhaps worse.
One option is to hide all prototypes behind a login, but this will stop us from easily linking from design patterns to example prototypes of that pattern.
Suggest we need a prominent banner at the top of the page. It should be possible to dismiss the banner so that user research can be conducted on the prototype.
