Quick note for the Hueman theme users

Hi !

Why so many updates recently ?
First of all, I apologize for the crazy update pace during last days !
This should be back to normal now since v3.1.0.

Many changes had to be done, as requested by the theme review team (options moved to the customizer), and despite the beta tests, there’s been unfortunately some bugs to fix. Read the v3.0 release note here for more details.

Now the theme is stable and there won’t be daily updates anymore :).

Child theme users
The v3.0.12 released a few hours ago has introduced a new way to load the main stylesheet of the theme. This has temporarily created an issue that could disable some custom css rules added to your child theme style.css.
This is now fixed in v3.1.0. You can add your custom css rules in this file and they will override the default ones.

Why not using the style.css file of Hueman for the css ?
The main reason for that is performance. Reducing the size and the number of external files (like css, javascript and images) helps improving the overall loading performances of a website.

Compacting CSS code can save many bytes of data and speed up downloading, parsing, and execution time.

This main style.css file provides details about the Theme (in the form of comments above) that is read by WordPress server side, but it can’t be minified. ( Minification is a technique to compress a css file and therefore improve speed (page load time) of your website.)

In the previous versions, the Hueman theme was loading 3 stylesheets not minified : style.css, responsive.css and font-awesome.css. Those files have now been concatenated into a single minified file : main.min.css, located in assets/front/css

How to know what has changed in a new release ?
I always publish a release note here that you check before updating the theme.
