V6.0 Release Summary
ARK V6.0 is focused on an extensive theme upgrade, standardizing typography, setting the default timezone for the site, and clarifying the ministry’s core mission on the About page. This update cleans up formatting styles across all published pages and posts. It also serves to align and prepare the repository for deploying all V6.0.0 architecture updates to the live production site, which currently runs on an older deployment version.
