This is the theme update log! All major feature updates, bug fixes, and patches are recorded... this may or may not include file names as in most updates it's assumed that ALL files are changed.

The SuperSkeleton Theme Family is a living project! I've released over 75 new theme features since the initial launch of this humble little theme - most in thanks to awesome buyer feedback and feature tips... so thanks to everyone using the theme!



If you enjoy these updates as much as I do, give the theme a rating after you've downloaded it! It helps let the world know that our themes are easy to use and that there's real people behind the themes ;)

Last, this covers the following themes:

The Update Log

Version 3.0

General Changes/Fixes:

• Massive overhaul of the Super Skeleton Framework.
• Only the "Good Bones" theme is on this right now, but we'll be reviewing how to best roll out some of the features to the SS1 themes this week!

Version 2.0.7

General Changes/Fixes:

• Image Resizing (for most grid page templates like portfolios) has been radically overhauled.
• Patches to our portfolio filtering script for more silky smoothness.
• Other minor styling tweaks to some themes.

Version 2.0.6 (2.0.6.2 is the latest sub-version)

General Changes/Fixes:

• WordPress 3.5 Compatibility patches (reference our FAQ here).
• Patched the portfolio image stacking issue on slow-loading web servers.
• Updated OptionTree to version 2.0.12

Version 2.0.5

General Changes/Fixes:

• Adjustments made to the Isotope loading script to prevent image "stacking" on slower browsers.
• Comments.php added to all themes now. Comments.css updated accordingly. We're now using the TwentyEleven comments system as the base (we'll likely update to TwentyTwelve when that's relesed by Auttomatic. This is partially in complaince with new best practices, and partially to help out a couple users who wanted to swap out the comments.php file with various commenting plugins.
• Various styling tweaks across the board to bullets, comments, and some HR rules on the older SS themes.
• *ShapeShifter is likely moving into "feature lock" since a lot of these updates don't really affect it.

Version 2.0.4

General Changes/Fixes:

• All SuperSkeleton Themes* will be upgraded to the hot new Isotope Portfolio! Woot woot!
• Internet Explorer - added some patches to tweak CSS3 fallback styling for the themes in old versions of IE.
• IE7/8 porfolio bugfix - images now scale properly both vertically and horizontally
• Reason - Fixed WP-Paginate issue with mid-page "next" button.
• Point Break - Added suppport for Cyrillic characters.
• ShapeShifter - updated element-categoryfilter.php to reflect new category method.
• ShapeShifter (2.0.4.1) - fixed a browser styling bug with the sidebar:right option.
• *ShapeShifter will not be receiving the Isotope upgrade as it conflicts with the unique layout of the site. I'll do my best to work this one out, but right now it's just not stable enough to launch so I rolled it back to the original Filterable plugin.

Version 2.0.1 - 2.0.3

General Changes/Fixes:

• All SuperSkeleton Themes have been updated to this version! Woot! Don't miss the upgrade tips FAQ.
• Social icons - Made this into an element file [ element-getsocial.php ].
• Social icons - Added a fallback for if there's no custom icons added that was throwing an error on some themes.

• New Social Icon Manager - upload your own custom icons as you wish.
• New Skeleton Page and Skeleton Post options panels... way nicer than the last version
• New Pagination options
• Lots of updates to the "usability" side of the theme... re-written inline documentation, less "techy" language used.
• Third Party Plugin Compatibility push: We re-wrote several sections of Javascript/jQuery and other core theme files in an effort to extend the number of third-party plugins that work with our themes right out of the box... we still can't promise support for any plugins except the ones in our "Suggested Plugins" library, but this should help out a lot of you plugin-hungry folks ;)
