Greetings, WoWEmu!
You may have see already, that we're working on a new theme, now we thought it's the right time to post some changelog for you to have a more in-depth view of what exactly has changed.

That's it! I think I covered the majority / most relevant information about the changes, please don't hate me if I missed something, it's just so much what has changed.
I may add more, if I missed anything.
We are happy to see you around on Saturday when the theme drops!
See you then.
Sincerely,

- Post View / Postbit
