Now that the prime reason for this blog has reached a conclusion, I was thinking about what to do with it.
Leaving it as an archive makes some sense as a permanent reference of the issue I had with the post byline. The narrative (posts) would be here, out in the open, so I or anyone else could find it online any time.
But it seems a shame to just stop things here. So I decided to continue this blog as a place to, well, test Thesis on an ongoing basis. That’s what the blog is called, after all.
First up for that is the beta of Thesis 1.5, a new forthcoming version of the theme announced today.
So I’ve installed it on this blog, carefully following the recommendations on the download page for essential things to pay attention to when upgrading the theme.
Result: a successful install with no issues that I can see. (And one great fix: when you preview the theme before activating it, the preview window now works. No more “Cannot load thesis-design-options” error message.)
I don’t yet know what is special about version 1.5 beta but developer Chris Pearson‘s enthusiasm can’t be ignored.
[…] this new version is friggin’ awesome, and I can’t believe you’ve made it this far without frantically clicking the download link for the new goodies. Well done, o’ patient one.
More here later as I discover what 1.5 beta is about.

As far as you can tell so far, there are no notable new features?
I’ve not yet had a moment to look at 1.5 beta beyond a cursory glance through the two options admin pages, Milan. Much looks familiar.
I’ve not yet found any blog posts or any other information by anyone else that mentions what’s new or describes in any detail what’s in 1.5 beta.

So right now, your guess is as good as mine!
