How to update the custom subtheme after base theme is updated

Greetings agnesliu,

After each new release of the Barrio Bootstrap 5 theme, I use an Open Source software called Kompare in order to see if there are any changes in the subtheme. As you can see in the attachment, there are no changes in the update from 5.5.16 to 5.5.17.

If you see that your custom subtheme still uses 5.5.16, this is normal because your custom subtheme was created from the 5.5.16 release. As mentioned in the documentation → , it is recommended to delete the information added by the Drupal.org packaging script in the yourtheme.info.yml file. This will prevent the issue you have raised here.

If an upcoming release of Barrio offers enhancements in the subtheme because you spotted them with Kompare, it might be useful to update your subtheme.

Finally, if you want to keep an eye on all the requests addressed to the maintainer of this theme, please visit this page.

Best regards,

Gilles

@gillesbailleux Thank you, for your new knowledge of comparing content.

Also, the two release versions can be compared from the Drupal project page-.
Steps -
1. Visit the project page(like Barrio Bootstrap 5 Theme)
2. Click on the "View history" tab.
3. pick two different versions and click on the compare button.

Attaching a screenshot for more clarification.

Greetings Ravi,

The method you suggest is indeed an easy way to spot the differences between various versions of a theme (or a module). Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Gilles
