20162 releases
Fourteen Colors 1.4
- Add postMessage previewing of base colors for an enhanced user experience. Contrast and accent colors are now instantly previewed in the customizer, with secondary generated colors updating on a slight delay (typically a few seconds).
Fourteen Colors 1.3
- Implement support for Selective Refresh in the Customizer. Colors will now be updated much more quickly (but still not instantly) in the Customizer preview. Available in WordPress 4.5+.
20151 release
Fourteen Colors 1.2
- Updates for WordPress 4.0 / Twenty Fourteen 1.2. Please update those before updating Fourteen Colors.
- The mediaelements-genericons component, which facilitated audio/video player color-scheming, has been merged into Twenty Fourteen core.
- Added two new filters to adjust the plugin’s output CSS: fourteen_colors_contrast_css and fourteen_colors_accent_css.
- Leverage some of the Customizer API improvements in WordPress 4.0.
- Fix a couple of really minor, obscure bugs that surfaced in the wild.
20143 releases
Fourteen Colors 1.1
- Full support for Twenty Fourteen 1.1.
- Fix mobile menu-toggle button colors.
- Fix support for button-styled links in widgets (via the .button class).
- Add a filter to the version of the accent color that contrasts with the white page background, facillitating the ability to override the automatically-generated version with another color picker via an add-on plugin.
Fourteen Colors 1.0.2
- Fix bugs with mobile navigation menus with certain color combinations.
- Add support for the .button class introduced in Twenty Fourteen 1.1 / WordPress 3.9.
- Fix link and border color in Twenty Fourteen Ephemera widgets when used in the Primary and Footer widget areas with a light contrast color.
- Override the Site Title option, as it is hidden from the Theme Customizer (since Fourteen Colors automatically adjusts it for contrast).
- Add basic support for IE8, which is handled differently in Twenty Fourteen due to its lack of support for modern standards.
Fourteen Colors 1.0.1
- Add a description of the different color controls (requires changes that might change the order of the options).
- Fix paging navigation hover states (border, not background color should change).
- Darken all borders when using light contrast colors on mobile.
- Fix sub-menu colors on mobile when using a light contrast color.
- Automatically refresh the cached plugin output CSS after the plugin has been updated.
- Hide the site title color control to reduce confusion, since the color is automatically tweaked based on the contrast color. The Header Text Color option is still available via the Appearance -> Header page if it needs to be customized.
