# Genesis Framework Change Log

https://my.studiopress.com/themes/genesis/

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

Up until release 2.7.0, this project did _not_ follow semantic versioning. It followed the WordPress policy where updates of x and y in an x.y.z version number means a major release, and updates to z means a patch release.

## [3.4.0] - 2022-09-06

### Fixed

* Fix an error with the User Profile widget on WP `5.9`.
* Also run PHPUnit tests on PHP 8.0 and 8.1.
* Prevent a PHP `8` deprecated notice for `str_replace()`.
* Prevent PHP 8 notice from conversion of `false` to array.
* Update dependencies with `npm audit fix`.

## [3.3.5] - 2021-08-09

### Fixed
* Change hook used for `genesis_handle_block_widget_editor` from `admin_init` to `widgets_init` to ensure widgets can be added, removed, and edited in the Customizer.

## [3.3.4] - 2021-07-08

### Added
* Using the use_widgets_block_editor filter in WordPress 5.8, the pre-5.8 widget screen behavior remains the same. To opt-in to the new WP 5.8 widgets editor, place this code in your theme's functions.php file: `add_filter( 'use_widgets_block_editor', '__return_true' );`

## [3.3.3] - 2020-08-10

### Added
* Accessibility: Added title as `aria-label` to `<article>` element to improve screen reader UX when using the rotor to view all articles on the page.

### Fixed
* Add missing `permission_callback` to public Genesis REST routes to prevent a notice under WordPress 5.5.

### Changed
* Use `excerpt_remove_blocks` to remove block content such as image captions and embed URLs from `get_the_content_limit`.
* Change "Enable auto-updates" in WordPress 5.5 to text that describes where to enable Genesis update checks.
* Improved standards for admin CSS.
* Disable `genesis-lazy-load-images` theme support under WordPress 5.5. WordPress 5.5 adds image lazy loading by default.

### Removed
* Use of `wp_make_content_images_responsive` in archive, singular, and featured widget images; `srcset` is applied via `wp_calculate_image_srcset` in `wp_get_attachment_image` used by `genesis_get_image`.

## [3.3.2] - 2020-04-22

Adds support for Gutenberg 7.9 and future block editor adjustments.

### Fixed
* Block Editor: prevent an editor crash if the Genesis sidebar is active.
* Block Editor: ensure the Genesis sidebar icon is visible.

## [3.3.1] - 2020-03-25

Includes fixes for the Genesis language pack update feature.

### Fixed
* Internationalization: Deactivate Genesis Translations plugin on upgrade to Genesis 3.3.1. Ensures official Genesis translation language packs load correctly.
* Internationalization: Enable language pack updates work on WordPress multisite as long as the main site is using a Genesis theme. Previously, Genesis language pack update prompts would only appear if the main site used a Genesis theme and did not use the en_US locale.
* Internationalization: Fix a fatal error that could occur on sites with custom Genesis translation files that contain an unreadable PO-Revision-Date header.

## [3.3.0] - 2020-02-26

### Added
* Internationalization: Non US English sites can now download the latest Genesis parent theme translations without using a plugin.
    1. Check your language is listed and has translations at https://translate.studiopress.com/global/projects/genesis-framework/genesis/.
    2. Disable the Genesis Translations plugin if using.
    3. Check for language pack updates at Dashboard → Updates. If you do not see language pack updates, switch your site language to US English at Settings → General, save changes, then switch back to your own language and check for language updates again.

### Fixed
* Accessibility: Author box titles on author archives now use h2 instead of h4 to prevent heading levels from jumping.
* Accessibility: Prevent “Reader Interactions” screenreader text appearing below content if there are no comments, comment form, or trackbacks on display.
* Accessibility: Move `role="navigation"` from the list element to the wrapper element on pagination navigation.
* AMP: Fix CSS string format used in the AMP menu styles.
* Block Editor: Show singular, post-type, and ID-specific layouts in the Genesis sidebar layout selector.

### Changed

* Tooling: simplified the creation of the Genesis zip file during the release process.

### Changed
* Admin: Theme Setup CSS tweak

* `genesis_markup()` now accepts `atts` to add attributes to markup at the point of use.

## [3.1.3] - 2019-11-06

* Prevent a warning during One-click Theme Setup under WordPress 5.3.

* Make sure that the `[footer_childtheme_link]` shortcode renders if the Theme URI stylesheet header is missing but the theme declares a `CHILD_THEME_URL`.
* Correct the deprecation message for `genesis_attributes_nav`.

## [3.1.2] - 2019-09-05

### Fixed
* Prevent the block editor and Genesis sidebar failing to load if a custom post type supports `genesis-layouts` but not `custom-fields`.
* Find '© 2019' in stored footer text and replace it with the `[footer_copyright]` shortcode during the Genesis update process. This is designed to ensure that the copyright year in footer text updates in future years.

## [3.1.1] - 2019-08-29

### Added
* Add a new genesis-breadcrumbs-visible body class if breadcrumbs are visible on a page.
* Add new genesis-singular-image-visible body class to allow styling of pages if a featured image appears on them.

### Changed
* Add the genesis-breadcrumbs-hidden body class if breadcrumbs are disabled for the current page type. (Previously this was only applied if breadcrumbs were active but hidden using “hide breadcrumbs”.)
* Hide Custom Classes panel in the Genesis sidebar if the current post type is not public.
* Do not emit genesis-singular-image-hidden body class if unsupported by current post type.
* Hide Breadcrumbs panel in the new Genesis editor sidebar if a theme opts to disable support for Genesis breadcrumbs.

* Theme setup: Add Child Theme Setup menu item to the Genesis admin menu to make finding the Getting Started page again easier for active themes that support one-click theme setup.
* REST API: Genesis now exposes hide title and hide breadcrumbs state, page layout, and custom body and post class via the `meta` field in the `posts` endpoint: `/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/[id]`
* REST API: Genesis now exposes supported layouts for the active theme via a new `layouts` endpoint: `/wp-json/genesis/v1/layouts/site`.
* Tooling: use the `@wordpress/scripts` package to build ES2015+ and React code.

### Removed
* SEO: Remove `noodp` and `noydir` settings. The Yahoo! Directory (the `ydir` in `noydir`) closed in 2014. The Open Directory Project (the `odp` in `noodp`) closed in 2017. Related settings are also removed from the database during upgrade.
* Deprecation: The `genesis_footer_creds_text` filter is now deprecated. Developers can point users who want to edit their footer text to the new Genesis footer setting in the Customizer. If you want to set default footer text for your child theme during theme activation, you should set the `footer_text key` in your theme’s `child-theme-settings.php` file.
* Tooling: remove the `phpcs-fixed` command. Genesis now runs `phpcs` against all files instead of a subset of known-good files.

### Changed
* Code: Switch to PHP short array syntax and enforce this via `phpcs.xml.dist`.
* Translation: Remove HTML from translated strings where possible.
* Tooling: language files are now generated with WP-CLI. This ensures strings in JavaScript files are now captured.

* Accessibility: Change skip link text from “Skip to content” to “Skip to main content” to improve pronunciation of “content” by screen readers.
* Customizer: Update text in the Theme Settings -> Updates panel to clarify what site data is sent during update requests and link to the privacy policy.

### Fixed

* Standards: Address all PHP_CodeSniffer coding standards violations.
* Standards: Fix a warning that could appear during update if Genesis Simple Sidebars was in use.
* Tooling: Correct an issue where PHP_CodeSniffer extensions for VS Code and Atom users would fail to run.
* Translation: Correct missing translators comments and correct numbered placeholders.
* Translation: Fix translators comments that differed for the same string.
* Breadcrumbs: Ensure “Breadcrumbs on Homepage” enables breadcrumbs on static homepages. Previously “Breadcrumbs on Pages” also had to be checked.
* General: `genesis_get_global_post_type_name()` will now return the correct post type if the main query has been filtered to show additional post types.

## [3.0.3] - 2019-08-05

### Added
* Ensure that default settings get inserted on theme activation

## [3.0.2] - 2019-07-03

### Fixed
* Fixed instances of late escaping that were too aggressive.

### Added
* Restored `404.php`.

* Restored `search.php`.

### Fixed
* Fixed issue where certain child theme styles fail to load. `CHILD_THEME_NAME` is now used (if available) when returning a theme handle (used when enqueueing CSS).

## [3.0.0] - 2019-06-19

### Added
* Added AMP support if the WordPress AMP plugin is installed and active (https://wordpress.org/plugins/amp/). This includes an AMP-compatible, responsive menu that theme developers can add via `genesis_register_responsive_menus()`, in place of having to enqueue their own responsive menu scripts.
* Added `genesis_get_theme_handle()` function that returns a formatted theme handle, via the theme name in `style.css`, for use in places where a string of words (lowercase, separated by dashes) is needed.
* Added `genesis_get_theme_version()` function to return the version string from the stylesheet header, or the current Unix time if the `SCRIPT_DEBUG` constant is true. This is helpful as a cache-busting string when enqueueing assets, so that you no longer need to add a `CHILD_THEME_VERSION` constant to your `functions.php` that duplicates information in your stylesheet header.
* Added memoization to `genesis_get_theme_handle()` and `genesis_get_theme_version()` so multiple uses of these functions won't negatively affect performance.
* Added ability to use the `query_args` custom field to trigger a custom loop in pages (like the old `page_blog.php` used to do).
* Added db upgrade functions that provide for backward compatibility for sites using the `page_blog.php` and `page_archive.php` page templates.
* Added Genesis information to the WordPress Site Health admin page.
