Release history

LATEST VERSION
v14.0.0
Released August 6, 2026
Releases in 12 mo 8
Total releases 70
First release June 28, 2022
v14.0.0 MAJOR

This update fixes a JavaScript error on the All products collection page and modernizes the theme's animation library and build tooling.

Fixed

  • Important: All products page — The auto-generated /collections/all page no longer breaks theme JavaScript (quick view, quick add, and cart actions were unresponsive on that page only)
  • Split text animations — Headings with bold or linked words spanning a line break now animate line by line correctly

Changed

  • GSAP upgraded to 3.15.0 — Includes the rewritten SplitText (smaller and more accurate) and drops the Club GreenSock licensing restriction
  • Build tooling — SCSS now compiles with Dart Sass for Node 22 compatibility; compiled CSS is functionally unchanged
v13.0.0 MAJOR

This update adds analytics standard events, accessibility improvements, and UI polish.

Added

  • Important: Shopify standard events — Publishes the shopify:* DOM events (page, product, collection and cart views, cart line/note/discount updates, variant select, collection and search updates) so analytics and pixel apps can track interactions without DOM scraping
  • Facet crossfade — Filtering, sorting, and active-filter changes crossfade the grid in supported browsers via the View Transitions API

Fixed

  • Important: Accessibility — Keyboard focus is now trapped inside open drawers and side panels, and theme animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting
  • Color swatches — Centralized color-option detection so custom (non-English) option names render swatches consistently across product pages, cards, and filters
  • Price filter inputs — Disabled browser autofill on the min/max price fields
v12.0.0 MAJOR

This update expands language support, adds new product and navigation customization options, and fixes variant image-set matching for non-ASCII characters.

Added

  • Important: New translations — Korean (ko), European Portuguese (pt-PT), and Polish (pl)
  • Mobile menu setting — Optional "Parent links open their own URL" so parent items navigate on tap while the arrow still toggles the sub-menu (default off, preserves existing behavior)

Changed

  • Product image block — Now wraps in a link when image_link is set

Fixed

  • Important: Variant image sets — Gallery now switches correctly for variant values containing non-ASCII characters (Turkish, Polish, German, Icelandic, etc.) by using Shopify's locale-aware handleize filter on both sides of the comparison
v11.0.0 MAJOR

This update brings significant performance optimizations, new features, expanded language support, and accessibility improvements.

Added

  • Important: Cart discounts — Support for discount codes in the cart with dedicated UI
  • Important: New translations — Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Portuguese (BR), and Chinese (Simplified)
  • Vendor & SKU block — Display vendor name and SKU on product pages
  • Sticky add-to-cart — Persistent add-to-cart bar on product pages
  • Variant image sets — Group product images by variant
  • 2048 variants support — Extended variant limit via cart custom element
  • OverlayManager — Centralized overlay/drawer management component
  • Resize-select custom element — Auto-resizing select inputs
  • Below gallery placement for product blocks
  • Discount code translations — Localized discount code UI across all languages

Changed

  • Important: Performance — Optimized loading speed, prevented render-blocking resources, improved lazy loading for hover images, optimized badge loops, and streamlined head variables
  • Predictive search — Faster and more accurate search suggestions
  • Slideshow — Rewritten slideshow.js for better performance
  • Header — Refactored header.js for efficiency
  • Modal dialog — Optimized modal-dialog component
  • Collection tabs — Improved rendering and interaction
  • Back to top — Better scroll performance
  • CSS — PurgeCSS safelist tightened to remove unused grid classes, stripped redundant compound selectors
  • Product slider — Optimized rendering
  • Theme editor — Improved performance

Removed

  • Legacy no-js fallback support

Other fixes and improvements

  • High-priority images no longer lazy-loaded
  • Hidden drawers now use inert attribute for proper focus management
  • Shop Pay button no longer incorrectly hidden
  • Accessibility improvements with proper ARIA labels throughout
  • Pickup availability now shows correct location data when switching between variants
  • Side panels now use 100dvh for consistent height on mobile browsers
v10.0.0 MAJOR

This update brings significant performance optimizations, new features, expanded language support, and accessibility improvements.

We love the habitat theme. It has a really clean and easy-to-navigate interface that allows us to easily organize a large catalog of products. As a result, we don't have to bother with trying to customize a website.

I really love the layout of this theme! I've spent a lot of time browsing other themes and Habitat really stood out with the design, and since launching my site, I have received a lot of compliments about how great it looks. It's easy for customers to navigate too. I've only used the support a few times, but every time they have been quick to respond and helped answer my question!
