## Release history

| Version | Date | Status | Summary | Commit | Package |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| **1.15.11** | 2026-10-18 | Latest | Contact form: the hover tooltip of empty/invalid fields is now in the page language too (Chrome's tooltip ignores setCustomValidity(); the message is also set as the field title while invalid). | commit:979ba89 | [mds-dark-1.15.11.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.11.zip) |

| 1.15.10 | 2026-10-18 | Superseded | Contact page polish: "Write to Us" heading styled like the office cards; form validation messages in the page language; office names translated (contact cards, footer); phone/fax numbers stay LTR on Arabic pages. Projects kicker → "Delivered Projects". No English default values in translatable ACF fields (CTA Title, Button Text, General Box Title); CTA title fallback now translated. TR "General Inquiries" → "Genel İletişim". Copyright year uses the WordPress timezone. **Action:** re-run `import-polylang-strings.php`; Settings > General > Timezone = Istanbul; clear English-saved CTA/Box fields on TR/AR pages. | commit:7a4b1f0 | [mds-dark-1.15.10.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.10.zip) |

| 1.15.9 | 2026-10-18 | Superseded | E-mail links are never uppercased (Contact page general e-mail showed as "INFO@…", on TR pages "İNFO@…"). Global CSS rule for `a[href^="mailto:"]`. | commit:f9b2646 | [mds-dark-1.15.9.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.9.zip) |

| 1.15.8 | 2026-10-18 | Superseded | Footer office links no longer break ("##ofis-ID") when no "Contact"-template page exists in the current language; names stay plain text instead. | commit:2895184 | [mds-dark-1.15.8.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.8.zip) |

| 1.15.7 | 2026-10-18 | Superseded | Empty CTA "Button Link" now goes to the Contact page in the current language (portable across staging/production and languages). Single Solution/Project contact boxes: hardcoded old Istanbul phone replaced by the footer-phone office. | commit:e4c9a79 | [mds-dark-1.15.7.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.7.zip) |

| 1.15.6 | 2026-10-18 | Superseded | Footer office names link to their card on the Contact page (#ofis-ID), card offset below the sticky header and briefly highlighted. | commit:972749b | [mds-dark-1.15.6.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.6.zip) |

| 1.15.5 | 2026-10-18 | Superseded | Design-jargon section labels replaced: "Call to Action" → "Get in Touch", "Info Strip" → "At a Glance", "Image + Text" → "Featured" (TR/AR updated). **Action:** re-run `import-polylang-strings.php`. | commit:b85cf14 | [mds-dark-1.15.5.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.5.zip) |

| 1.15.4 | 2026-10-18 | Superseded | Custom Link menu items (e.g. the "#" headers Corporate / Solutions) are translated via Polylang string translations. New Custom Link titles are auto-registered in Languages > Translations, group "MDS Menu". A "#" header with no translated child pages in the current language is hidden. | commit:0d9a014 | [mds-dark-1.15.4.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.4.zip) |

| 1.15.3 | 2026-10-18 | Superseded | Empty-list notes (Press Room / Projects / Solutions): visitors see only "No … have been added yet."; the admin-panel hint is shown to editors only. Strings split for Polylang; fixes the untranslated Projects note. **Action:** re-run `import-polylang-strings.php`. | commit:a25b2f1 | [mds-dark-1.15.3.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.3.zip) |

| 1.15.2 | 2026-10-18 | Superseded | Fixed dropdowns staying open after a click while hovering other items. "#" menu links no longer add "#" to the URL or jump to the top. | commit:8868ee4 | [mds-dark-1.15.2.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.2.zip) || **1.15.8** | 2026-10-18 | Latest | Footer office links no longer break ("##ofis-ID") when no "Contact"-template page exists in the current language; names stay plain text instead. | commit:2895184 | [mds-dark-1.15.8.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.8.zip) |

| 1.15.1 | 2026-10-17 | Superseded | Dropdown sub-menus in the main menu (2 levels). In real menus, Page items with no translation in the current language are hidden together with their children, so one menu can be assigned to EN/TR/AR. | commit:942a452c | [mds-dark-1.15.1.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.1.zip) |

| 1.15.0 | 2026-10-17 | Superseded | Reverts the 1.14.x Default-template changes: Default template is plain again, "System Default" template removed. Solution pages move to the Standard Page template. Keeps the 1.14.2 help-text fixes. | commit:e1cb78f8 | [mds-dark-1.15.0.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.15.0.zip) |

| 1.14.1 | 2026-10-17 | Rolled back (by 1.15.0) | Default template hides the image header when no hero image is set. | commit:9d74dd4d | [mds-dark-1.14.1.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.14.1.zip) |

| 1.14.0 | 2026-10-17 | Rolled back (by 1.15.0) | Default template uses the Standard Page layout; old plain layout moved to a new "System Default" template. | commit:ae7b7ba9 | [mds-dark-1.14.0.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.14.0.zip) |

| 1.13.1 | 2026-10-17 | Superseded | 01/02 module numbers removed from the Standard Page layout. Editable hero image on the Solutions grid page. Optional hero image on the Default template (later reverted in 1.15.0). | commit:fb8994dc | [mds-dark-1.13.1.zip](/attachments/download/ID/mds-dark-1.13.1.zip) |
