Photonic, Suffusion and Other Premium-for-Free Projects
Apologies for the long wait after my last post. Work has been brutal, and after 16-hour workdays I have had scarcely any time for myself or my family, let alone Photonic or Suffusion. This version of Photonic was supposed to have a lot more stuff than it does, mainly pagination, but due to the sudden […]
I have just released version 1.42 of Photonic. The major highlights of this version are under the hood, wherein there are lots of performance improvements. There has been a massive amount of refactoring. Several lines of JavaScript code have been taken off, lots of JavaScript and PHP code has been modularized. I have added an […]
Version 4.4.6 of Suffusion was released a little while back. This is a minor version, but with some far-reaching changes: I have changed the JQuery functions in the theme to use on instead of live. The live function was deprecated in JQuery 1.7.0 and is removed in 1.9.0. Now, WP itself distributes JQuery 1.8.3, which […]
Version 4.4.5 got approved today. This version has the following changes: I have removed all uses of the “Pointer API”. This was the piece of code that used to show tips about changes in the new versions. This change was again necessitated by the WPTRT, since contrary to Andrew Nacin’s claims about the core team […]
I have just released version 1.41 of Photonic with the following updates: One of the most popular plugins in WP is JetPack, and it also happens to be one that messes up other plugins quite a lot. I didn’t have JetPack active for a while since unknown to me the last time I had tried […]
I have just released version 1.02 of Suffusion Shortcodes with a minor change. Earlier the [[suffusion-widgets]] shortcode was not respecting the container-class parameter … because shortcode parameters cannot have hyphens in them! I had overlooked this several months ago when I introduced the functionality and it only got caught today. I have fixed this error […]
A Happy New Year to all readers of this site and all the people who use Suffusion, Photonic, FontMeister and all my other plugins! I had intended for this to be finished about a week back, but due to some technical issues I wasn’t able to do so. Version 1.40 adds yet another provider to […]
A user pointed out a bug in FontMeister today, which, to my extreme surprise, should have been caught at least a few weeks back! The issue was that for Font Squirrel fonts, if the font had only one variant, the CSS selectors for it were not showing up in the font stack. I have fixed […]
Every year around this time I have a new release of Suffusion. This year though, it is going to be a new release of Photonic. Maybe there will be one more before the New Year, depending on how much my family manages to push me out of the house. This version of Photonic has the […]
I was hoping version 4.4.4 would go live on 12.12.12, which unfortunately was missed by a day. Here are the updates in this version: I removed the two shortcodes in the theme that could be classified as “post content” shortcodes – suffusion-widgets and suffusion-multic (along with its companionsuffusion-column). This is thanks to the guideline change […]
