=== Blaq Lite Changelog ===
2026-08-25 - version 1.0.2
* Fixed: WooCommerce admin notice now stays dismissed instead of reappearing on every page refresh.

2026-08-18 - version 1.0.1
* Accessibility: added visible keyboard focus indicators (:focus-visible) for links, buttons, form fields and navigation, so the theme is fully keyboard-navigable.
* Accessibility: added href/link targets to the hero and featured-action buttons on the home page, which previously rendered as non-focusable links and were skipped by keyboard navigation.
* Wrapped custom.js in an IIFE and prefixed its function so nothing is added to the global namespace.
* Documented per-image license URLs in the Images section of this readme.

2026-07-05 - version 1.0.0
