v3.0.0 (Date: 2020-05-07)

  • BREAKING CHANGE Upgraded from Bootstrap 3.3.2 to 4.4.1. This involved a major rewrite of most components. This shouldn’t affect any users unless you have custom HTML/CSS code which the new Bootstrap could have broken.
  • BREAKING CHANGE Renamed bigimg YAML parameter to cover-img.
  • BREAKING CHANGE Removed googlefonts YAML parameter since googlefonts are just CSS so they can be loaded via ext-css.
  • BREAKING CHANGE Upgraded from jQuery 1.11.2 to 3.4.2. This should not affect most people.
  • Added navbar-border-col setting in the config file.
  • Add accessibility features where possible.
  • Made the theme completely responsive by rewriting all CSS to use ‘rem’ instead of ‘px’.
  • Rewrite and simplify some JavaScript code to use CSS or Bootstrap alternatives that weren’t available in 2015.
  • Remove most of the sample posts so that users only have two sample posts to learn from.
  • Improvements to the README instructions.
