Changelog

General Updates

September 3, 2026 — Update

  • Catalog-wide expansion of the design system skills at .cursor/skills/<theme>-design/SKILL.md — all 44 themes and every variant (base, Sanity, EmDash).
  • Each skill is extracted from that theme’s own code, not a generic checklist: typography, color usage, spacing rhythm, component conventions, corner/border/shadow policy, and do/don’t rules, so AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) build UI that matches the theme.
  • AGENTS.md links the design rules in every repository, and several themes received fully expanded AGENTS.md briefs (tech stack, content collections with frontmatter schemas, routing conventions, guardrails).
  • Refreshed the Carbon Astro + Sanity CMS variant with a deeper port of the theme’s design tokens, components, and data layer.
  • New docs page: Agent skills.

August 24, 2026 — Update

  • Catalog-wide maintenance pass across all base, Sanity, and EmDash repositories.
  • Fixed RSS feeds everywhere: items now come from the real content source (content collections / CMS data layer) instead of an empty glob.
  • Fixed Astro 7 routing in four themes (Matterhaus, Northbound, Rosewood, Studiomax): blog, services, team, and project pages now build correctly again.
  • Replaced @astrolib/seo with @lexingtonthemes/seo where it still lingered, so npm install works out of the box on Astro 7.
  • Removed duplicate Tailwind registrations and modernized tsconfig.json (bundler module resolution) across the catalog.
  • Verified builds across all repos.

August 15, 2026 — Update

  • All 45 Astro + Tailwind CSS base theme repositories refreshed to latest stable dependencies (astro@7.2.2, Tailwind v4.3.3, and related integrations).
  • All 44 Astro + Sanity CMS variant repositories refreshed to latest stable dependencies (astro@7.2.2, Tailwind v4.3.3, Sanity v6.9.x, and related packages).
  • All 44 Astro + EmDash CMS variant repositories refreshed to latest stable dependencies (astro@7.2.2, Tailwind v4.3.3, EmDash v0.33.x, and related packages).
  • Verified production builds across all base, Sanity, and EmDash repos; internal navigation links checked.

August 14, 2026 — Update

  • All Lexington themes are now delivered through GitHub — not as zip downloads from Polar.
  • Individual theme purchases now include GitHub repository access (previously some were files-only).
  • After checkout, link your GitHub account in the Polar customer portal and accept the repo invitation for your theme(s).
  • Personal / Agency / Essentials bundles — unchanged: all theme repos + Discord support as before.
  • Morrisson CMS is not affected — still ships as a Mac/Windows download with a license key.
  • Docs updated: Getting started · FAQ

  • Frontmatter image upload with live previews, tag suggestions from project tags, readable field labels, system theme support, sidebar hints, word count, shortcuts overlay, and auto-update on launch.
