#### Localise the content licence and copyright statements

#### Pass HTML directly into compatible components

If using the Nunjucks macros, you can now pass HTML content directly into compatible components using [the Nunjucks `call` syntax](https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/templating.html#call). If HTML is provided through the call syntax, the `html` and `text` options will be ignored.

You can now use static spacing override classes to apply spacing from [the static spacing scale](https://design-system.service.gov.uk/styles/spacing/#static-spacing) to elements of your design.

The new classes start with: `govuk-!-static` followed by either `margin-` or `padding-`, and then a spacing unit number.
The new classes start with: `govuk-!-static-` followed by either `margin-` or `padding-`, and then a spacing unit number.

To apply spacing in a single direction, include `left-`, `right-`, `top-`, or `bottom-` just before the spacing unit.

For example:

- `govuk-!-static-margin-9` will apply a 60px margin to all sides of the element at all screen sizes
- `govuk-!-static-padding-right-5` will apply 25px of padding to the right side of the element at all screen sizes
- `govuk-!-static-margin-0` will remove all margins at all screen sizes
- `govuk-!-static-margin-9` will apply a 60px margin to all sides of the element at all screen sizes

- `govuk-!-static-margin-0` will remove all margins at all screen sizes

### Recommended changes

We've recently made some non-breaking changes to GOV.UK Frontend. Implementing these changes will make your service work better.

#### Add `hidden` to the mobile menu button in the header component

If you're not using the Nunjucks macros, add the `hidden` attribute to the mobile menu button (button with class `govuk-header__menu-button`) in the header component.
If you're not using the Nunjucks macros, add the `hidden` attribute to the mobile menu button in the header component. The mobile menu button is `govuk-header__menu-button`.

We've changed the header's mobile menu functionality to use the `hidden` attribute over using CSS to show/hide the mobile menu. Adding `hidden` to the mobile menu button by default will ensure that it does not display for users when javascript doesn't load.

### Fixes

In [pull request 2678: Replace ex units with ems for input lengths](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/2678), we changed how we define input lengths in our CSS. Browsers might now display these inputs as being slightly wider than before. The difference is usually fewer than 3 pixels.
