Tempera 1.2.3/4/5/6 fights the system

No, we haven’t lost our minds; this is not a reverse countdown (a countup?). And we did not release a quadruple-update-in-one either.

This cryptic title deserves a decent explanation and it’s actually simpler than it seems: it appears I was overconfident on the WordPress review process the last time. While they did wonders then and managed to verify and approve two updates in the same day, the sun doesn’t always shine… in fact it got terribly dark after that. Worse still… the sun changed. Never mess with mantra they say (or was it nirvana…)

Yup, WordPress changed (or rather updated) their rules on what is accepted, what is recommended and what is refused in a theme. And nobody considered to inform us. And we were too pre-occupied with actually making the updates that we forgot to dive through and find the new rules ourselves.

So here comes Tempera 1.2.3, a nice, quiet, decent, well-mannered update that stayed in line for the review process, only to be slammed against the wall and thrown out the window for not fitting with the new rules. It picked itself up and came back to us, only to be sent back to WordPress in the form of 1.2.4 (which we hoped solved things).

But we weren’t so lucky. Things turned from bad to worse and took us two more tries (1.2.5 and 1.2.6) to get things right. But here it is folks, the pride and joy of our fight against the system – Tempera 1.2.6.

So without further (horrendous) ado, the changelog(s):
