# Changelog

<details>

<summary>1.1.0 - 2026-07-30</summary>

#### New features

* **Page transitions**: Animated transitions between pages using the native View Transitions API. Choose between Fade and Fade + Blur styles. Product images morph from collection cards into the product page gallery. Respects prefers-reduced-motion. (**Theme settings** > **Animations**)
* **Page loader**: A branded loading screen on the visitor's first page load, featuring your store logo with a choice of animation styles (pulse, shimmer, or progress bar) and exit animations (fade or curtain reveal). Only appears once per session. (**Theme settings** > **Page loader**)
* **Collapsible content block**: A reusable accordion block with heading, icon, and expandable content area. Supports Flat, Elevated, and Underline card styles. Available in Image with text and Image row sections.
* **Payment methods block**: Displays your store's enabled payment provider icons (Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, etc.). Available in product pages, Featured product, Image with text, and Image row sections.
* **Social icons block**: Displays social media links with individual platform toggles and a hover effect. Available in Image with text and Image row sections.
* **Article picker in Featured blog**: Hand-pick specific articles from any blog instead of showing the latest posts. Selected articles take priority over the blog picker.

#### Improvements

* **Combined Listings support**: When a parent product (Combined Listing) has no media or description, the theme automatically falls back to the selected child product's data — on product cards, the media gallery, and the product description. Fully server-rendered, no extra JavaScript.
* **Nested cart line items**: Full support for add-ons (via app integrations) and bundles (Shopify Bundles app) in both the cart page and cart drawer. Child items display nested under their parent with appropriate controls.
* **Smooth scroll**: Slightly adjusted scroll momentum for a smoother feel. Internal code cleanup for dynamic content event listeners.
