Simplish version 2.4

utopian — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 06:06:47 +0000

Simplish version 2.4 is here, hand-in-hand with the new WordPress 3.0.

First and foremost: This release is not compatible with earlier versions of WordPress. Use it only with WP3.0 and up.

Only minor refinements are apparent to the eye: You won’t see the word “Trackback” in the comments area anymore, and the former “Pages” list in the default sidebar is now labeled “Navigation” to accommodate the optional custom menu. Just beneath the surface, the theme now outputs HTML5 where once there was XHTML 1.0.

Highlighted Changes

HTML5 output
Support new custom menus
New CSS reset
Suppress the inline gallery style — remove a validation stumbling block
CSS updates for gallery styling, efficiency
Use automatic feed links for uniform & dynamic header metadata
Rewrite and modernize functions.php — better child theme override support
Replace/remove deprecated WordPress function calls

Check out the change log for a complete list.

Simplish version 2.2.3

utopian — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 21:43:46 +0000

The latest minor update to Simplish bumps it to version 2.2.3, and it brings a little change to the handling of Categories in the post meta box, spearheaded by Demetris. The theme now specifically checks for the category name Uncategorized, so if you’ve renamed your cat ID #1, it will be displayed on posts in only that category. Previously such posts would show no categories, as though the post were “Uncategorized”.

This change is tiny, but more details can be found in Issue #19 at the Simplish project site.

Simplish version 2.2.2

utopian — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:22:36 +0000

Version 2.2.2 replaces calls to a few deprecated WordPress functions with their current cousins. No visible differences are introduced. This update ensures compatibility and maintainability atop the latest (read: recommended) and future versions of WordPress.

Many thanks to Demetris for the bulk of the patches included, and vigorous testing with the WP_DEBUG setting, which now gives Simplish the all-clear.

Simplish version 2.2

utopian — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 02:51:27 +0000

Version 2.2 introduces the largest set of changes in several months, including new translations for French and Portuguese, minor styling enhancements, and a CSS rewrite that makes things more efficient without changing Simplish’s good looks.

On a display, there is only a single visible change in this release, but the numerous changes to the theme’s CSS will affect customizers or child-themers and therefore prompt a minor version bump over the venerable 2.1[.x] series. Print styles, on the other hand, have changed both in code and in visual presentation.

In honor of translators’ contributions since version 2.1.17, the Simplish Demo is rotating through the supported localizations.

Highlighted Changes

Add fr_FR localization for French, thanks to ttynixer.
Add pt_PT localization for Portuguese, thanks to ttynixer.
Optimize CSS according to Google Page Speed analysis.
Rewrite CSS for simplicity and efficiency. Reduce over-specification.
Trim dead selectors/rules. Merge some sharable selectors/rules.
Add new archives-list CSS class for common multiple-post listing styles.
Add underline on hover to author name in post byline.
More precisely define font, color, layout rules for printed output.

For a very detailed record of the changes in this release, see the developer changelog.

About Versions and Fixes

Josh — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:52:03 +0000

We have a very-roughly monthly release schedule, and as our infrequently-honored date of the 20^th approaches, the fix I have is a good one, but the only one: Anonymous contributed to the sibling sp theme a new background header image in PNG form at just 10% of the original’s size.

If there are other corners we could tidy, let us know with a comment here – that includes providing specific examples for the reported issue with some AJAX sidebar widgets and Simplish v2.1.2, as well as the question about the importance of threaded comment support -vs- the simplicity of loading no JavaScript.

Simplish version 1.9.3

Josh — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:34:44 +0000
