Thanks for opening this issue @fabiochelly.
The active state hasn't changed between v5.1 and v5.2; there's no box-shadow for the active state but rather a darker color.
Maybe you're talking about the focus state which has changed. For all .btns, the :focus styling has changed to :focus-visible - this way, the focus style doesn't take effect and "stick" (until you click somewhere else) for mouse/touch users.

Yes, I was effectively referring to the focus state. It's just my advice but is was far more beautiful before this change (I also preferred the less round corners).
Is there a way to go back to the previous focus mode (even by adding some custom CSS to the btn class)? In addition to being prettier, it was very useful to see which button was clicked last.

Going to close for now as we'd like this change to stick around. Let's wait on getting some more feedback here and decide what to do after that. Thanks!

So, is there some documentation explaining the reason about this change? I noticed now too, and wanted just to know why this features was removed for the buttons. I tryed to find something in the blog but could not find anything.

You'll probably find more information in #37026 and maybe in the corresponding closed issues as well.
