From 4928e680408b2154059e5014d108811543e41397 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Glass Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 15:43:37 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Update about page for the new default; fix stale beta badge on calendar about.html's Scriptures section now describes LXX2012+WEB as the readings-page default (with KJV as the alternative, and noting it remains the API/RSS default), matching the change in #162. Also fixes calendar.html's Greek tradition selector, which still used class="beta-note" (removed in an earlier session when that treatment was renamed to .status-badge) -- it's been rendering as unstyled plain text "(beta)" since then. Replaced with the same badge treatment already used on the readings page: tradition-label-with-badge wrapper on both labels, "New" status-badge on Greek.
