== Changelog ==
= 1.0.3 - August 20 2026 =
* Fixed - The featured slider never received its configuration. The template read a variable that is assigned nowhere in either theme, so data-slick was always empty and, unlike the parent, there was no isset() guard, so PHP 8 also raised an undefined variable warning on every render.
* Fixed - Block pattern styles were wrapped in is_admin(), so patterns were styled in the editor but not on the published page.
* Fixed - The parent stylesheet was enqueued without a version and fell back to the WordPress version, and the child stylesheet was stamped with the parent's version. Releasing either theme busted neither cache.
* Fixed - The Customizer font preview requested a URL with a stray space before Montserrat, so that family never loaded.
* Fixed - _n() was given a formatted string where it expects an integer, so the reading time never pluralised correctly.
* Fixed - Selecting a font that is no longer offered raised an undefined array key warning.
* Fixed - The licence in readme.txt read "GNU General Prefer License", Requires PHP said 4.7 which has never been a PHP version, Stable tag said 1.0.0 against a 1.0.2 theme, and threaded-comments was listed twice.
* Security - Escaped the Customizer font preview styles, which were built from a variable and echoed unescaped.
* Changed - The six fonts offered by the font picker are now bundled with the theme instead of being requested from fonts.googleapis.com, so no visitor data is sent to a third party. Each face keeps its unicode-range, so browsers still download only the subsets a page needs.
* Accessibility - The slider category and meta links measured 2.04:1 and 2.59:1 against their background. They now use #ce461d and #70757b, and the panel behind them is white rather than #fafafa, which puts both at 4.65:1.
* Added - languages/prefer-blog.pot so the theme can be translated.
* Changed - Requires PHP raised to 7.4 and Requires at least set to 6.0.
* Tested with WP 7.1
