Changelog

VersionDescription
6.7.0Added support for background image refs.
6.3.0It no longer converts the internal format "var:preset|color|secondary" to the standard form "–wp–preset–color–secondary".
This is already done by the sanitize method, so every property will be in the standard form.
6.1.0Added the $theme_json parameter.
5.9.0Added support for values of array type, which are returned as is.
5.8.0Introduced.
