Misago

This release brings default theme to Misago, together with redesigned posts, threads and categories lists. This theme lives in the "flavor" directory in Misago styles and defines only decorative stylesheets, thus making it easy to remove and revert Misago back to its "Bootstrap" looks for custom theme development.

It also fixes few bugs, including potential show-stopper on categories list that could result by deletion of last thread in category.
