Releases for Genesis

Nothing new in this release, its only to fix a CVS issue for 7.x-1.0 which accidentally included old files.

- fixed an error with the packing script code got left in info files
- many cleanups
- took the opportunity to overhaul search form selectors, now much easier to style each form (box, block and advanced)
- fixed dark theme admin styles, again, missed some selectors
- changed default IE conditional style tag to lte IE7
- overhauled and updated the "all" sets of stylesheets
- improved several readmes and fixed some mistakes

No big changes, you can upgrade without any issues to your subthemes.

This latest release adds:

- the DARK subtheme to the core download
- Conditional styles module now built in
- Easier theming for Gpanels with new selectors added to page.css and blocks.css
- CSS preload images jQuery plugin
- slight modification to the skip link fixed/focus CSS

Otherwise all is the same and you can upgrade without any major issues!

Finally Genesis 2 is here!

Some minor changes to be aware of:

1. The logo/site_name setup has changed, now we treat h1 like a wrapper similar to Garland
2. Added an extra inner div on columns, this allows more design options for the columns area
3. Cleaned up many comments and the README's
4. Cleaned up many css styles, removed redundancies etc.

Let the games begin:)

This is a pretty big update for a beta release, and is mostly about moving towards supporting more standards - WAI ARIA, semantic class names, WCAG AAA compliance and WAVE compliance. Theres also a push to emulate Drupal 7 dynamic classes for nodes, blocks and comments. I have made an effort to improve the semantics of the theme via the class names - the aim is to gravitate towards a standard naming convention for all class and id's, that we can share for all Drupal themes, hence why I choose to follow Drupal 7 as a benchmark. The idea is also to remove as much as possible any class names that are purely for style or layout and rely on the semantic class names only - there are plenty of these and if we look towards incorporation more microformats we can probably succeed in a big way.

WAI ARIA roles are now included using jQuery. I believe this is the first theme to do this. I have to use JavaScript because Landmark roles will not validate XHTML.

Changed CSS structure: after much thought I moved type, forms, lists etc back into core, AND by default Genesis will use a new base.css, this is to reduce http requests for sites that cannot use CSS aggregation and compression. You can still unset this and use the more modular CSS if you need or want to. Subthemes still have modular CSS such as nodes, blocks, comments, page and a new styles.css.

Development release for Drupal 7.

TODO:
Add $classes to templates with new theme_process_hook functions

Includes all the new features and fixes from -dev, I'll update this node in due course with the relevant details.

Fixes a bug where the block classes were not printing correctly.

Moved custom dates to the pre-built subthemes - this should never have been included in the framework and it was my omission to leave it in during the first releases. I have replaced it with the standard Drupal $submitted variable.

Fixed spelling on inline comments in the CSS and templates, added some new comments.

This is the first official release of Genesis.

After building 7 or subthemes I'm confident this is ready to go. The framework is holding up under different designs and doing the job I intended it to do & I'd like to see the subthemes start propagating in the wild, so I can get some more feedback on future improvements.
