Version: 1.2.0 — 05 Jan 2023
Make sure you have the latest version of Ghost before upgrading. If not, please do the following steps:
- Activate an official Ghost theme, Casper, for example
- Update Ghost to version 5.0
- Upload the latest/fresh version of Melaka (1.2.0) and activate it
Ghost and Melaka will work smoothly without any issues while uploading the theme on old versions of Ghost or trying to update Ghost while you use an old version of Melaka.
What’s new
- Added Ghost Native Search & Comments.
- Added Pinterest, Instagram, and LinkedIn settings (docs).
- New settings for dark mode. You can add new logo for dark mode, set accent color, or disable dark mode from the admin (docs).
- New admin setting for homepage tags sections. Instead of hard coding the tags, you can now choose which tags columns to show from the admin. (docs).
- New admin setting to show/hide homepage authors settings (docs).
- Added support for footer secondary navigation
- General design improvements
Changed files
Big update. I suggest uploading the latest version instead of messing with files. Check the updating process first paragraph.

VERSION - 1.1.9: Release on 25 May 2022
New
- Ghost 5.0 support
- Melaka is now using the Ghost Portal and the new Tiers for membership. Clicking the header Login and Subscribe links will show up the Portal instead of going to the Login or Subscribe pages.
Improvements
- Updated Ghost Deploy Action version

The .github/workflows/deploy-theme.yml
file is for the GitHub Deploy Action. It is part of the theme, but since the folder starts with a dot ( .github ) it might be hidden on your computer. No worries if you are not using GitHub for theme deployment.)

------------ Version: 1.1.8 — 22 March 2021 ------------ ❗ Please update to Ghost 4 first and then apply this version. [+] New: Ghost 4.0 Support - Fixing all compatibility issues - Support for the new Public Review content card [+] Fix: Subscribe form email input background color in dark mode [+] Fix: Source code blocks background color in dark mode [+] Improve: Source code blocks are now responsive. No text breaks, and now scrollable. [+] Improve: Added outline to buttons for Accessibility [+] Improve: Add alternative text to social media icons for screen readers [+] Update: The theme is now using Portal notifications instead of the built-in ones. In Ghost 4.0, membership becomes an essential part of Ghost and no longer a beta feature. Accordingly, the login/subscribe, and all membership browser notifications come from Portal whether Portal is enabled or not. So, when a person logins to the website, the theme will show a message, and Portal will show one. Using Portal notifications ensures all notification messages will be up to date with Ghost membership updates, eliminate the conflict while login in, subscribe, or update a person’s information. [+] Update: The paid membership plans are now public at /subscribe/, so a person can choose from them directly without subscribing first. Make sure to re-upload the updated routes.yaml file. If you want to show only a subscribe form, open theme file partials/header.hbs and on line 34 change /subscribe/ to /signup/. On the posting page, the call to action box button will direct to the subscribe page with membership plans if the post is Paid and direct to the /signup/ page if the post is for Members only. --- New Files: members/subscribe.hbs Deleted Files: partials/notifications.hbs assets/sass/components/_notifications.scss Changed Files: post.hbs page.hbs default.hbs routes.yaml package-lock.json package.json assets/css/style-min-rtl.css assets/css/style-min.css assets/js/app.js assets/js/app.min.js assets/js/ghosthunter.js assets/sass/components/__all.scss assets/sass/components/_buttons.scss assets/sass/components/_color-mode-btn.scss assets/sass/components/_content.scss assets/sass/components/_footer.scss assets/sass/components/_logo.scss assets/sass/components/_subscribe.scss assets/sass/components/_archive.scss assets/sass/elements/_code.scss assets/sass/settings/_colors-dark.scss assets/sass/settings/_colors.scss locales/ar.json locales/da.json locales/de.json locales/en.json locales/es.json locales/fi.json locales/fr.json locales/it.json locales/nl.json locales/pt.json locales/tr.json members/account.hbs members/signin.hbs members/signup.hbs partials/compiled/inline-css-rtl.hbs partials/compiled/inline-css.hbs partials/footer.hbs partials/header.hbs partials/index-tag-columns.hbs partials/loop.hbs partials/page-upgrade-cta.hbs partials/post-upgrade-cta.hbs partials/signup-plans.hbs partials/social-icons.hbs
