Release notes

Version 4.0.0 - March 8, 2022

Dawn 4.0.0 introduces the ability to control how many columns appear in many of your sections and templates, and allows you to define heading text size in all sections. This update also features fixes and improvements, including a fix ensuring the correct product details display in the cart notification.

Added

  • Important: You can now define the size of your heading text in all sections, giving you more options to express your brand’s look and feel. This update may cause your theme's headings to appear bigger. To revert this, change your heading size settings to “Small”.
  • Important: You can now control the number of desktop and mobile grid columns in many sections and templates, giving you more flexibility to customize the look of your store. This update may cause a layout change in some areas of your theme because columns will no longer automatically adjust to fill the available screen width. This can be modified by adjusting the number of columns setting in the affected areas. Find this new setting in: blog posts (desktop only), collection template, collection list, featured collection, multicolumn, product recommendations, and search results template.
  • Duty charges will now be displayed on customer account order pages if applicable.

Changed

  • Commenting on blog posts requires all fields to be filled in for a blog comment to be submitted.

Fixes and improvements

  • Sometimes, incorrect product information was appearing in the cart notification. This is now fixed.
  • We fixed an issue that affected filtering on collection pages.
  • We fixed an accessibility issue where some links caused unnecessary page refreshes when clicked.
  • We improved the performance of the product page.
  • In some cases, pagination was inaccurate on sections like featured collection. This is now fixed.
  • An issue in the slideshow section sometimes caused borders to appear unexpectedly. This is now fixed.
  • We fixed an issue that sometimes caused product images in the cart to display incorrectly.
  • We fixed an issue in the footer where several elements were misaligned.
  • There was an issue with the scrollbar styling in the footer that’s now fixed.
  • We updated the collapsed filter and sort icon so it looks consistent against any background color.
  • We optimized the padding on desktop header menu dropdowns.
  • We fixed an issue where shadows weren’t displaying as expected.
  • We fixed an issue with the desktop header menu dropdown animations.
  • We updated the SEO metadata for collection pages.
  • We fixed an issue with header menus not opening on older browsers.

Version 3.0.0 - January 27, 2022

Dawn 3.0.0 introduces a new suite of theme style settings to let you customize the overall look and feel of your store.

Added

  • Layout theme settings let you change the amount of spacing between each section, as well as the spacing between repeated items within sections.
  • New theme settings let you change the look of your buttons, variant pills, inputs, badges, media, content containers, drawers, dropdowns, and pop-ups by editing their borders, corners, and shadow effects.
  • New theme settings on cards (product cards, collection cards, blog cards, collage section cards) let you pick from different styles, define text alignment, and edit their borders, corners, and shadow effects.
  • The new collapsible content section lets you add content to your pages using a layout composed of collapsible rows. It’s ideal to build a frequently asked questions page, or add a section with secondary information to your product pages.
  • We added new icon options to the collapsible row block on the product page.
  • We added a new color scheme setting on many sections, allowing more flexibility to customize the look of your store. Find it in: blog posts, collage, collapsible content, collection banner, contact form, custom liquid, featured collection, featured product, multicolumn, page, and product recommendations.
  • New top and bottom padding settings were added on most sections, letting you define the amount of space at the top and bottom of the section. Find it in: blog posts, cart items, collage, collapsible content, collection list, collection product grid, contact form, custom liquid, email signup, featured collection, featured product, footer, image with text, search results, multicolumn, product information, page, product recommendations, rich text, and video.
  • You can now define the amount of space between your header and the following section with a new bottom margin setting on the header section.
  • You can now define the amount of space between your footer and the previous section with a new top margin setting on the footer section.
  • We added support for app blocks to the featured product section.

Changed

  • The page width layout setting where you set the maximum width of your online store pages has changed to offer a range from 1000px to 1600px.

Removed

  • Important: Dawn no longer includes the Craft preset. If you’re interested in achieving the Craft look, you can now install the new Craft theme.

Version 2.5.0 - December 20, 2021

Dawn 2.5.0 introduces a new slideshow section and new settings to further customize existing sections like product information, image banner, and image with text.

Added

  • The new slideshow section lets you display content in a slideshow format. Use it to feature promotions, or as an introduction to different collections.
  • We’ve added new settings to the product template, letting you choose between stacked or thumbnail layouts for your product media on larger screens. You can also now control the size of the product media on product templates for larger screens.
  • New content alignment settings were added to the image banner and email signup banner sections.
  • The image with text section has a new content layout option which allows you to overlap the content and associated image for a unique look.
