This major release provides additional refinement and control to the Align theme and fixes priority issues which have been reported by our customers (thank you, all!)
We've added powerful new theme, section, and block settings throughout the theme, and we've added a few new templates to show off the power and flexibility of Align. We're also excited to launch a full overhaul of our Predictive search system, which will provide better performance and customization, and paves the way for some exciting new features in our next major release.
This release also includes our third major round of theme localization support, including support for Danish, Greek, Hindi, and Turkish languages (👋 🇩🇰 🇬🇷 🇮🇳 🇹🇷). This is in addition to the languages added in our previous major releases (👋 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇱🇹 🇪🇸 🇨🇳 🇳🇱 🇯🇵 🇵🇹 🇧🇷) and brings us to a total of fifteen supported languages.
This is Align's fourth major release, and our tenth overall since Align went live. Please reference the changelog to learn about everything included in v1.3!
We'd once again like to thank our customers for your trust and patience in our work. As always, we are here to help and we welcome your feedback! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any/all questions, comments, or concerns. Your feedback is helping to build a better theme.
