For Moodle 2.6 and Moodle 2.7 we (Gareth and yours truly) are looking for people that want to test the new release prior to releasing it as STABLE.
You can grab a pre-release copy here: https://github.com/DBezemer/moodle-theme_essential/releases/tag/2.7.2a
We kindly ask you to post all found issues on https://github.com/DBezemer/moodle-theme_essential/issues
This release is not intended for production use (yet), but we need you guys to make sure the next full release will be!
Also, if you are a translator, please translate the strings for this theme on AMOS (http://lang.moodle.org/) where essential has a lot of untranslated strings at this moment.
Regards and thanks in advance,
David
