Many thanks to our early adopters for all of the feedback and interest in Backlight 6! We have been exceptionally pleased with the warm reception thus far, and are very excited to announce our first update, version 6.0.1.
Version 6.0.1 implements some fixes for blogging, adds new PHPlugins hooks for Kookaburra templates, and brings significant updates for headers.
Warning! Some of the changes to headers are BREAKING CHANGES. Depending on individual configurations, some users may find that page template headers will need to be revisited. Repairs should be fairly simple to make, but please refrain from installing the update until you have 5 or 10 minutes to spend verifying or fixing your Kookaburra Page templates.
I do hate to introduce breaking changes, and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. However, it could not be helped, and I hope the new capabilities will more than make up for the hassle.
Headers now support taglines, which several users have requested. And it is now possible to design a secondary header, for example, if you would like to have separately designed headers for desktop and mobile.
