General Patch Overview:

Update v1.1 is a small but useful update that adds a page template system, fixes several small bugs, and adds collapsible table rows to DataTables and FooTables. We are also going to go back and cleanup the documentation a bit. Some of the information is missing or outdated at this point and could use a refresh. All the more reason to make sure you are using the online documentation when available.

General Development Rules:

Separating your work and customizations from the themes default styles is absolutely key to smoothly transitioning through theme patches and updates.

LESS Users:

All changes and new styles have been added to the themes base skin. That being said ALL custom changes should always be added to your child skin (default-skin/less). You should never modify the base theme as it will frequently be changed and updated. This is key to smoothly transitioning through theme patches and updates.

Standard CSS Users:

All style changes, fixes, and improvements made in theme updates will typically be added to theme.css. Users should never directly edit or modify theme.css. To prevent losing your changes, you should add all of your customizations to a new stylesheet and include it separately in your pages.

It is also highly recommended that you transition to using the themes LESS system as it is far superior, and offers a great deal of features and optimizations. A beginners Less guide has been added to the tutorials section of the documentation. It can be found here: Link
