Fictioneer 5.10.0 Stable
released this
2024-02-10 20:21:10 +08:00 | 2291 commits to main since this release!!ATTENTION!! After updating, please hit the new [Legacy Cleanup] button under Fictioneer > Tools. This will migrate any SEO data you have and remove obsolete rows from your database (see the result under Fictioneer > Log). As always, clear caches afterwards and maybe force-refresh to clear the browser cache if things still look wrong.
This was supposed to be 5.9.4, but then got out of hand. I opted not to release 5.9.4 in favor of a more comprehensive update, but the original purpose was to reduce the database size, widen various performance bottlenecks, and improve compatibility. You may even save up to 2 KB of RAM! Unrelated, the archive is now ~3 MB smaller.
Please consider supporting me on Ko-fi if you like the theme.
Highlight: Font Manager
You read that right. You can now "easily" add or remove fonts and assign them to specific locations. The whole process is explained in the installation guide, but boils down to a configuration folder uploaded to a child theme; or Google Fonts if you do not care about violating the GDPR. Several ready-made fonts can be found under /repo/fonts, currently including: Noto Sans, Noto Sans Japanese, Noto Sans Korean, Noto Sans Simplified/Traditional Chinese, Special Elite, and... Verdana.
If you have previously customized the fonts yourself, this may or may not still work. If you get errors or fonts stop working, you will know why. In any case, it is recommended to switch to the new method for compatibility.
