Other important updates:

Version 0.98.2

Changes:

• Added special tag #customurl. This tag customizes the URL of a custom tile (tile-one, tile-two, tile-three, and tile-four). Please refer to Special Pages for more information about these tiles. When applied, this tag pulls the URL from its custom excerpt instead of using the default URL (/tile-one/ for Tile One, for example). If you link to an external URL, please always include "https://" or "http://".

• Slightly changed the Homepage layout to keep the Section One visually before the Section Two on larger screens.

Version 0.98.1 ("Alpaca" 🦙)

Changes:

• Now it is even possible to replace the Authors Tile and Tags Tile by creating a page with a slug "tile-three" and "tile-four".
• Added special tag #forcecontained to display the post tile's feature image in a contained mode when the Image Overlay Mode is enabled. This creates an exception for a specific post.
• Added special tag #forceoverlay to display the post tile's feature image in an overlay mode when the Image Overlay Mode is disabled. This creates an exception for a specific post.
• Added special tag #unlink to remove link from specific posts. This is useful if you want to use a post tile as a feature without providing more information.
• Added special tag #hidelabels to remove labels from specific posts. This is as well useful if you want to use a post tile as a feature without providing more information.

Version 0.98.0

Changes:

• Themed Membership Pages 🤩 such as Sign In, Sign Up, Membership, and Account. All matching Bento style!
• Now it is possible to replace the Search Tile and Signin/Account Tile by creating a page with a slug "tile-one" and "tile-two".
• In addition to that, you can replace the very bottom tile by creating a page with a slug "tile-last". This tile is ideal for showing a purpose statement.
• Custom Footer can now contain html code (only <b>, <i>, and <a> tags should be used to make text bold, italic, and to create links)

Version 0.97.1

Changes:

• Performance improvements (color schemes have been split into separate CSS files). This means, whenever you choose a color scheme, only your chosen color scheme will load. There have been unnecessary color combinations compiled in CSS (that would never be used), leading to a very bulky CSS file.

Minor fixes:

• CSS has not been minified in the previous version due to a missing argument in my script

Version 0.97.0

Changes:

• Added a new custom settings "Hide label" to hide all labels such as tags, featured icons, and member-only icons.
• Renamed "Footnote" custom settings to "Custom Footnote" and set a default to "Published with Ghost and Bento" to match the requirement for theme submission at Ghost.org
• Added "focus" states to improve accessibility with keyboard
• Added "hover" effects to tag labels
• Improved post content style (headings)
• Improvement of the background image aspect ratio in the post template
• Added a warning if no site-icon has been uploaded
• Fallback colors (grey tones) if color scheme has been set to custom but no custom colors have been defined yet
• Truncating the post titles in the post template to a maximum of 4 lines
• Significant code refactoring

Version 0.96.0

Changes:

• Significant code refactoring

Version 0.95.0

Changes:

• Removed the hash sign (#) that used to be prepended before tags
• Added support for multiple tags to the post template
• Added post count to the tag template

Minor fixes:

• Showing images correctly when image overlay mode is turned off
• Adding alt attributes to the images
• Serving more optimal image sizes (more improvements coming)
• Truncating the titles of the post tiles to a maximum of 3 lines

Version 0.94.0

Changes:

Version 0.93.0

Breaking changes:

• The homepage sections are now pulled by slug ("section-one", "section-two", "section-three", "section-four", and "section-five") instead of tags. Simply adjust the slugs of the section pages. You can remove all #section-* tags.
• Custom settings Tagline, Title, Subtitle, CTA Button Label, and CTA Button Link have been removed and replaced by an even more flexible solution: To override the default hero section, simply create a page with a slug "hero" and set Title, Custom Excerpt, and Feature Image. You can even add completely custom content, such as a CTA button or a Video, using Ghost Editor.

Minor fixes:

• The announcement bar has been adjusted to match the Bento design

Version 0.91.0

Changes:

• Improved design of the Post Header. Please make sure you set the featured images to benefit from it.
