      • The Dashboard meta box will display the latest Release Notes for the theme as well as WordPress Cluster releases.

      • Combines Release Notes slugs from child and parent themes.

Updating style.css Files

To get the Dashboard widget to appear, you will need to update the theme’s style.css file header to include the new “Release Notes:”. The following is an example based on the Blocks theme.

The amendment is highlighted in bold and lists the category slugs which are relevant to that release. It can include multiple slugs for different, relevant releases if applicable.

Please note: WordPress Cluster is included separately any way, therefore there is no need to add it manually in the theme.

New Release Notes process

By the fact you are reading this means you have some inclination that a change is occurring. This area is optional but can be use to provide useful information on the new release such as animated GIF walk-through, screenshots, links to third parties or even an example of the new functionality (if it is say an embed).

In this case, it is a link to Confluence with detailed instructions on the new Release Notes process.
