Which Internet Explorer versions does HTML5 BOILERPLATE support?

Question

Can someone please elaborate on which versions of Internet Expolorer the HTML5 ★ BOILERPLATE framework supports?

Does it have support for IE versions 7 & 8?

Answer 1

The current version supports IE8+. From https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate#features:

• Cross-browser compatible (Chrome, Firefox, IE8+, Opera, Safari).

Boilderplate v4 supports IE6+, but is no longer maintained:

HTML5 Boilerplate v4 provides legacy browser support (IE 6+, Firefox 3.6+, Safari 4+), but is no longer actively developed.

Answer 2

HTML 5 doesn't work in most versions of IE. So HTML5 boilerplate uses Modenizer and X-UA-Compatible to make most of it work. You can read about all of it on their github profile.
