WooThemes Framework 6.0.0

Whoa, WOO, loads of changes to the core framework!

WOO has a full write-up of the 6.0.0 framework launch, but here’s all of the yummy changelog for you to enjoy in the privacy of your own screen. But first of all, it’s a design change. Gone is the separate box/rectangle of WOO world and now the WOO features are more integrated into the WP admin layout. The framework helps integrate more and more of WOO’s products and services, meaning, themes and plugins. Updates to plugins and themes are now easier to find as well as other products they offer. I don’t see this as an invasion or even advertising as they’re hoping to help you further with the products they offer. Yes, I’m biased, yes, I like WOO’s products. I suppose if they were products I didn’t appreciate, I wouldn’t want them mentioned anywhere.

At first glance, the first page of Styling & Layout (where you probably have spent most of your time in Canvas) is quite long and less easy to navigation than before. We’ll see how it works as we use it more and more.

Give it a spin and see what you think.
