## Changelog
### V2.0.25
- Added “Editorial” and “Top stories” sections to the ChickenDefender function
### V2.0.24
- Added **Persona** section to the ChickenDefender function
### V2.0.23
- **Improvement:** Trimmed some more dead wood
### V2.0.22
I can’t believe this is still going.
- Removed the Radar page and references to the now-dead Tidbyt project
### V2.0.20–V2.0.21
- **Bug fixes and minor improvements**
### V2.0.19
- Removed “Contextual Related Posts” plugin from single post pages, because it is *hopeless.* This will be migrated to YARPP in Tri (V3.0). This is probably the last change for a while, as long as we don’t find any more bugs
### V2.0.18
- **SEO:** Fixed a major issue/oversight with our XML sitemap that was preventing most of our posts from appearing on it
- Backported the ChickenDefender function from Tri (V3.0) to automatically, permanently redirect “overlapping” taxonomies – e.g. the “Ace Attorney (series)” topic now redirects to the main Ace Attorney section
### V2.0.17
- **Improvement:** Centred the logo at the top of the page on small mobile devices
- **Bug fix:** Corrected spacing/line breaks between topics on single post pages
- Added a script to remove the serial comma when there are only two topics (so it says “A and B” instead of “A, and B”)
- **Third-party:** Updated [bsky-embed](https://github.com/Vincenius/bsky-embed) to v0.1.0
### V2.0.16
- Development on Tri (V3.0) has stalled somewhat, so we’re making a few small improvements to V2.0 in the meantime.
- **Improvement:** Replaced [Mastofeed](https://github.com/fenwick67/mastofeed) with [bsky-embed](https://github.com/Vincenius/bsky-embed) on the homepage, and changed all prominent Mastodon references to Bluesky ones
- The plan going forward is to turn our [Mastodon feed](https://mastodon.world/@CriticalChicken) into an automated feed of our latest posts, and use our [Bluesky feed](https://bsky.app/profile/criticalchicken.com) to do all our actual “socialising”
- Removed all references to Threads, as we’re no longer throwing our weight behind the Fediverse
- **Bug fix:** The mobile search box no longer stays open after the main menu is closed on small mobile devices
### V2.0.12–V2.0.15
- **Bug fixes**
### V2.0.11
- **Bug fix:** Corrected amount of spacing beneath related posts section
### V2.0.10
- **Improvement:** Added line breakpoints to “#ForTheGaymers” wherever it appears as a title, so it doesn’t overflow the screen width on mobile devices
- **Bug fix:** Fixed Mii images on the [About](https://www.criticalchicken.com/about) page, which were not displaying at the correct (smaller) size on mobile devices
### V2.0.9
- **Improvement:** Added custom “#” symbol to V2 font and applied it to all instances of “#ForTheGaymers” site-wide
### V2.0.8
- **Improvement:** Tweaked design and wording of Tidbyt page
- **Improvement:** Replaced ticker bullets with a webfont instead of an image, so it no longer flickers/judders when scrolling
### V2.0.7
- **New feature:** Added page to promote our new [Tidbyt applet](https://github.com/tidbyt/community/pull/1731)
- **Improvement:** Added new #ForTheGaymers logo to its [category page](https://www.criticalchicken.com/category/forthegaymers)
- **Bug fix:** Corrected size of logo’s margin on small mobile devices
- **Bug fix:** Fixed category page titles which weren’t displaying properly on small mobile devices
### V2.0.6
- **Improvement:** Added stacked and combined logo variants for smaller devices (so #ForTheGaymers branding can always be seen)
### V2.0.5
- **Improvement:** Added Boosts to Mastofeed for greater variety of content
### V2.0.4
- **Improvement:** Replaced #ForTheGaymers logo with a new design
- **Bug fix:** Fixed listing pages’ broken layout on tablets
### V2.0.3
- **Bug fix:** Replaced old/outdated Microanalytics code
### V2.0.2
- **SEO:** Fixed non-descriptive Jumbotron link
### V2.0.1
- **Bug fix:** Fixed `box-shadow` appearing “cut off” on mobile menu’s social links
- **Bug fix:** Fixed script that adds “and” before last tag on a single post, so it only works on posts with more than one tag
- **Accessibility:** Added `lang` attribute to opening `html` tags
