This update contains a couple of small bug fixes for issues that we found in 3.5.0.

In this version, we reverted our decision to include appearance-tools theme support in the theme. We enabled support to enable more options in core blocks. Unfortunately, it seems that adding this support also allows core to add some potentially disrupting CSS to the front end of websites, which caused some layout issues for some users.

For users who wish to enable support (and didn’t have layout issues), they can do so like this:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
    add_theme_support( 'appearance-tools' );
} );
