What's new in the major version? 🆕

• [conventions] For rendering partials and layouts is endorsed a new "pure PUG" approach instead of using PHP helper functions such as render_partial(). New practices are reflected in the updated documentation @ https://wordless.readthedocs.io/en/5.0.0/_pages/usage/rendering_pug.html
• A new PHP helper render_static() is provided as a strategy to cache partials or whole templates as static HTML files. Usage and info documented @ https://wordless.readthedocs.io/en/5.0.0/_pages/appendix/render_static.html. This tool works only with PUG files.
• A new class Wordless\Component is provided as a device to write visual components in PUG with validated parameters using PUG's builtins mixins. You can read ratio and usage @ https://wordless.readthedocs.io/en/5.0.0/_pages/usage/filters.html#wordless-pug-configuration
• [vendor] Mobile-Detect updated
• [vendor] pug-php updated
• [vendor] Symphony validator added
• [vendor] All javascript dependancies (node modules) updated. A special mention goes to Webpack that receives an update to the recent release 5!

Please be sure to welcome the new "pure PUG" convention, since it will determine a serious performance improvement. Should you have problems refactoring an old theme in order to update it to the new conventions, feel free to open an issue (or ping me in private company chat).

Warning ⚠️

• Default pug compile options were updated. Be sure they still fit your project if you're upgrading: https://wordless.readthedocs.io/en/5.0.0/_pages/usage/filters.html#wordless-pug-configuration
• [conventions] new file naming conventions - as endorsed in the docs - no more relies on underscore-prefixed pug partials. Partials are now called with explicit paths: no underscore magic, no extension omissions.

Fixed 🐛

• Fixed a bug during the the setup preventing the correct creation of the test database

Other changes 📓

• VSCode plugin recommendations added to vanilla theme (fd269cc)
• Documentation was re-ordered trying to make it more focused on important things and more readable

Upgrading from 4.1

Version 5, while introducing a lot of new practices, naming conventions and scaffolding, retains full compatibility with 4.1's themes.

Big ups to @danielegiorgis who put a lot of effort in this major release.

Full diff from previous release https://github.com/welaika/wordless/compare/3.0.1...4.0.0

What's new in the major version? 🆕

• Moved from SASS to SCSS (breaking)
• Updated Stylelint rules and config to lint SCSS (breaking)
• Moved from CoffeeScript to ES2015 (breaking)
• Updated all the node_modules dependencies

Warning ⚠️

This is a major update because it's considered a breaking one. Updating the plugin from 3.x to 4.0.0 should be safe, but you cannot upgrade an existing theme with new configurations. This is true mainly due to the new default supported syntaxes (SCSS and ES2015)

Fixed 🐛

• Fixed 2 bugs and improved the helper to register ACF/Gutenberg custom blocks (create_acf_block)
• Fixed a wrong path declared inside Wordless class
• Fixed a bug in new_taxonomy with most recent WP versions

Other changes 📓

• Updated the logic behind wp wordless theme upgrade: now it is no more intended to upgrade from non-webpack themes to a webpack one, but simply updating theme's build configurations to the new shipped ones
• Heavily improved documentation, clened up the main README.
• Documentation reflects all the introduced updates about languages/syntaxes
