    "description": "<p>Custom GeneratePress child theme for Maine AA Area 28.</p>",
    "changelog": "<p><strong>0.9.1</strong><br />\n* If the site is ever running the wrong custom-fields plugin — WP Engine's free \"Advanced Custom Fields,\" which leaves out the repeaters and options pages this theme's content is built on — or none at all, the dashboard now shows a clear notice explaining that Secure Custom Fields is required, with a link to install it, instead of committees, districts and rosters silently failing to appear.</p>\n<p><strong>0.9.0</strong><br />\nPrint-friendly pages, closed-meeting privacy, a scannable document library, and editor dashboard help.<br />\n* Every page now prints cleanly. When you print (Ctrl+P), the menus, floating buttons and other on-screen chrome drop away, colours flatten to black-on-white, collapsed sections and tabs open so nothing is hidden, web links show their address, and a \"Printed [date] — check the site for the latest version\" line is added at the foot. Made for the rosters, schedules and packets handed out at assemblies and district meetings.<br />\n* Closed meetings no longer publish their join details. When a committee or district meeting is marked \"closed,\" its Zoom link, meeting ID and passcode are hidden everywhere — on every page and in the site's data feed — and replaced with a \"contact the chair for access\" note.<br />\n* The Documents library now opens as a set of clearly labelled categories you expand, with a row of category filters across the top, so you can jump straight to the one you need instead of scrolling one long open list. A document can also record the earlier one it replaces.<br />\n* District pages now carry a \"Service resources\" panel linking the guidelines, assemblies, and the For-GSRs / For-DCMs pages, so a DCM landing on their own district has the service documents one click away.<br />\n* A committee's Files can now link a document straight from the library rather than re-typing its web address, so the link keeps working when the document is updated.<br />\n* Two new dashboard helpers for the volunteers who edit the site: a \"Before You Publish\" checklist (anonymity and accessibility reminders, each linked to the relevant guidance) and a \"Writing Style\" reference card; committee chairs see a tidy dashboard with only what they need.<br />\n* Cards keep a clear outline even at the flattest \"elevation\" setting, so groupings never visually collapse.</p>\n<p><strong>0.8.0</strong><br />\nA \"page not found\" page that helps, plus site-wide search.<br />\n* Mistyped or out-of-date links now land on a friendly \"page not found\" page that offers a search box, the main sections to browse, and — when the web address makes it clear — a direct suggestion of the page you were probably after (for example a link to /contact-us/ points you to Contact). When the address is too broad to guess from, it simply fills the search box with those words so you can press Search.<br />\n* A search magnifier in the site header, and a matching search results page that finds committees, districts, documents, newsletters, and assemblies, with the option to narrow results to one type.<br />\n* The \"Find a Meeting\" pill now uses the correct brand colour and is properly legible; the header search link is aligned with the text-size controls beside it.<br />\n* Announcement-band text is now guaranteed readable on whatever band colour is chosen.</p>\n<p><strong>0.7.0</strong><br />\nVisual polish wave + a floating Find-a-Meeting pill.<br />\n* Larger hero pathway pills on small screens.<br />\n* A minimal floating navbar that appears on scroll (mobile), with the hamburger opening the menu as an on-screen overlay.<br />\n* The A-/A/A+ text-size control moved off the mobile header into the slide-out menu.<br />\n* A persistent help bar (mobile bottom bar / desktop pill) showing the AA hotline, driven by the existing footer setting.<br />\n* A new floating \"Find a Meeting\" pill linking the Meeting Guide app and the Maine meeting list; adds one owner-editable \"Find a Meeting URL\" setting in the Footer options.<br />\n* Body/editorial link underlines, an H6 minimum size so no heading matches body text, and brand-hue-aware shadows.<br />\n* Accessibility and mobile-breakpoint refinements throughout.</p>\n<p><strong>0.6.1</strong><br />\n* No-DCM district pages now show a short \"this service seat is open\" page with a get-involved link, instead of returning a \"page not found\" error.</p>\n<p><strong>0.6.0</strong><br />\n* A cleaner, friendlier wp-admin for the volunteers who edit the site: the editing experience now matches the site's look — warm colours, the site fonts, plainer wording, and far less clutter.<br />\n* Committee chairs get a simplified dashboard — a welcome with quick shortcuts to the pages they manage, plus a site-stats panel (unique visitors, sessions, a 30-day trend, and top pages).<br />\n* A branded login screen and site header carrying the Area 28 mark.<br />\n* Calmer editing screens: fields grouped by space instead of boxes, related fields placed side by side, short fields sized to fit, plain-language labels, and \"(optional)\" markers instead of required asterisks.<br />\n* New \"Chair\" and \"Content Editor\" roles with least-privilege defaults, and a trimmed admin menu so non-technical volunteers see only what they need.</p>\n<p><strong>0.5.0</strong><br />\n* The \"Submit an Event\" form now matches the rest of the site — brand colours, fonts, and buttons throughout, including the date-range calendar and the time pickers, with a tidier two-column layout.<br />\n* Two new page-building blocks any editor can drop into a page: a gradient hero banner (eyebrow, heading, text, and an optional button or background photo), and a resource list of bordered link rows where each row can carry several links (for example \"Read\" and \"PDF Download\").<br />\n* New Digital Newcomer Packet and New to AA pages, built from those blocks, gathering the AA newcomer resources in one place.<br />\n* A page that opens with a hero banner no longer shows a duplicate page title above it.</p>\n<p><strong>0.4.3</strong><br />\n* The homepage hero can now hold more than one banner photo. Add several and the site can rotate through them on each visit, or leave rotation off to always show the first.<br />\n* Give any hero photo a season — a start and end date — so it only appears during part of the year (for example a winter photo from December through February); the dates wrap across the new year automatically.<br />\n* Choose which part of each hero photo stays in view — top, middle, or bottom — when it is cropped to the banner.<br />\n* Fully optional and non-destructive: a single existing hero photo keeps working unchanged, and with nothing set the homepage looks exactly as before.</p>\n<p><strong>0.4.2</strong><br />\n* Added a theme preview image — the card shown under Appearance → Themes. No change to the public site.</p>\n<p><strong>0.4.1</strong><br />\n* New \"Page Settings\" screen for each index page — Committees, Districts, Boomerang, Documents, Assemblies, and the Events page — so editors can add a custom heading, a subtitle, and rich intro text above or below the list.<br />\n* Add an optional header photo to any of those pages; a built-in overlay keeps the title readable over any image, and you choose which part of the photo stays in view.<br />\n* An \"Edit This Page\" button appears in the toolbar while viewing one of these pages, linking straight to its settings.<br />\n* Fully optional and non-destructive: every index page looks exactly as before until you fill something in.</p>\n<p><strong>0.4.0</strong><br />\n* New colour system: pick a brand colour, an accent, and a neutral \"paper\" colour — surfaces, borders, and buttons all derive from them, with WCAG-AA contrast still guaranteed automatically.<br />\n* A Brand tint dial washes the whole page toward the brand colour, or leave it at zero for a clean neutral; an optional \"Match neutral to brand\" gives surfaces a subtle brand tint.<br />\n* Hero and call-to-action panels now use a richer on-brand gradient instead of a flat fill.<br />\n* New Corners dial (sharp to round) and a Preset picker — Area 28, Harbor, Pine, Slate, and Dusk — that sets a whole look in one click, with room to fine-tune from there.<br />\n* Retired the separate neutral-temperature dial; choosing a warmer or cooler neutral colour now does the same job.</p>\n<p><strong>0.3.0</strong><br />\n* Structured content: Standing Committees, Districts, Assemblies, Documents, and the Boomerang newsletter are now their own content types with dedicated fields and templates, instead of hand-typed pages.<br />\n* Committee pages are a tabbed detail (Info / Meeting / Files / Get Involved) with a persistent facts header. \"Zoom\" is relabeled to a platform-agnostic \"Meeting / Join\" ahead of the move to Teams.<br />\n* Getting Involved lists the committees with open positions and links straight to each committee's Get Involved tab; open positions are editable per committee.<br />\n* News gains an All / Area / GSO category filter, and Events gains an All / Area / District filter over one branded list.<br />\n* Assemblies feature the next assembly on top, with upcoming and past listed in date order.<br />\n* Homepage pathway buttons now smooth-scroll to their section, and each section can carry a \"Read more\" link to a full page.<br />\n* Added a rich site footer, a scheduled announcement band, and a two-line wordmark.<br />\n* Data-heavy content types use the classic editor so their fields are easy to see and edit.<br />\n* Mobile polish: aligned list cards, tidier text-size controls, and consistent spacing.</p>\n<p><strong>0.2.0</strong><br />\n* Colors now flow through GeneratePress's own Global Colors and the block palette, so blocks and Elementor pages inherit the site palette automatically.<br />\n* Light mode only — the dark mode and manual dark toggle have been removed.<br />\n* New design-knob system: pick a brand color and an accent color, then fine-tune with surface-depth, text-contrast, neutral-temperature, elevation (flat to lifted), density (compact to airy), accent-vividness, and text-temperature dials — all with live preview.<br />\n* Self-hosted fonts (Manrope and Syne) delivered through GeneratePress Typography, with nothing hot-linked to third parties.<br />\n* Accessibility and fidelity fixes: responsive headings, WCAG-AA contrast, clear keyboard focus, and teal buttons.</p>\n<p><strong>0.1.0</strong><br />\n* First release: selectable design-token system with brand, accent, and neutral-warmth choices; contrast is checked for WCAG-AA safety, generated when you save, and cached.<br />\n* Automatic light and dark mode following your device preference, plus a manual dark toggle; per-visitor A-, A, and A+ text-size control; no flash of the wrong theme on load.<br />\n* Self-hosted fonts (Manrope, Syne, Source Sans 3, Libre Baskerville) with nothing hot-linked to third parties.<br />\n* GeneratePress styled on-brand through the token system, with Customizer controls and live preview.<br />\n* Accessibility foundations: skip link, semantic landmarks, and ARIA on tabs and controls.</p>"
