Tempera 0.9.9 is on the edge

The latest Tempera version has been available for some time now and as many of you have probably noticed, it brings some neat enhancements.

Find out what it fixes, what it enhances and what new ideas it brings to the table, right after the jump.

Tempera 0.9.8 is all about the presentation page

By far the biggest change this update is the new ‘More Posts’ Ajax button that replaced the pagination on the Presentation Page.

There are a few other Presentation Page fixes in this update and you can check them out in the full changelog.

Parabola 1.3.3 flies by

The latest Parabola update doesn’t want to stand out and tries to slide by unnoticed.
It is simply here to address a couple of small things, like SSL Google fonts, HTML inputs, CSS3 rgba() on old browsers and others.
It does its job and then moves on, leaving the path clear for then next update.

Mantra 2.3.3 stays in line

Mantra receives a small maintenance update, tweaking and changing things here and there.

The most noteworthy thing related to the 2.3.3 update (but not part of the update itself) is the corrupt Mantra archive lurking around on Wordpress’ servers. One of its evil purposes is to leave your pages content-less (but be ready for other nasty surprises as well). The fix?

Tempera 0.9.7 is on the counter

Another round of tiny fixes and small additions! On the house, of course. Careful if you can’t hold your liquor though, there are a couple more of these coming right up!

How to use the presentation page columns

The new columns can easily grab their content from theme-specific widgets placed in the dedicated widget area, or from specially crafted posts. To learn more…

Tempera 0.9.6 is in the zone

Welcome to yet another episode of the Tempera Theme Zone – the place where WordPress things do happen very often.

Join us after the jump to see what it’s all about. You’ll also get free popcorn and a changelog.

Tempera 0.9.5 is halfway there

A new batch of fixes and small improvements meant to make Tempera more stable has been deployed. A few more of these small patches will follow in the next few weeks as we approach the glorious version 1.0.

Meet us after the bump for the full changelog.
