Customizr Pro release note for v1.4.0

Dear Customizr Pro users,

In this new release we have improved the code under the hood in the WordPress admin and the live customizer. The main goal is to re-inforce the compatibility with the WordPress plugins ecosystem.

We’ve also added the various components that will be used in the upcoming v2.0. As announced a few monthes ago, the Customizr Pro theme version 2.0 will allow you to switch between a Classical style ( the current one ) and a Modern style, built with the latest version of the popular Bootstrap css framework.

Classical and Modern styles have the same design components that make the Customizr theme unique : slider, featured pages, grids, expanding featured images on hover, ….. They differ on the look and feel, with a more flat and material design approach for the Modern style.

We are currently doing the final tests on version 2.0. Our goal is to release it by the end of June 2017.

Note for child theme developers : test the new version in a local dev environment first.

If you have made a lot of customizations in a child theme, you might encounter some warning with v1.4.0. We strongly recommend to test your child theme in a staging environment before updating to the latest version v1.4.0.
