Releases for Nitobe

Changes in this release

A number of changes have been made that will have an impact on your site if you currently use Nitobe.

• Nitobe has been completely overhauled and a number of CSS classes have been changed or added. If you have sub-themed Nitobe, you will need to test this release before deploying it to your live site. A number of fixes and enhancements to the 960.gs grid system have been copied from Joon Park's NineSixty theme.
• Three-column layouts are now supported. When using two sidebars, they may be placed on either side of the content region, both to the right of the content region, or both to the left of the content region.
• The large block region below the content and sidebars is now four distinct regions.
• The theme is now a content-first theme. This means that, regardless of layout, the content region always appears first in the source file. This increases the accessibility of the pages to screen readers and is a search engine optimization.
• Headers are now more semantic. When viewing the front page, the site title is the H1 element, on a node page, the page title is the H1 element, and the site title is a SPAN element. All block headers are now H2 elements.
