Default Themes: Bump version numbers and update readme files.

[maedahbatool]

Hey, guys!
This is my first core attempt at core contribution. Go easy on me 🙌

I update the theme versions where required. Changelog needs to be added. Since I am not sure how to create that on codex pages. I am adding changelog here.

TwentySeventeen Changelog

• Improve styles for 4.8 widgets
• Remove unnecessary return statement

TwentySixteen Changelog

• No changes

TwentyFifteen Changelog

• Improve styles for 4.8 widgets

TwentyFourteen Changelog

• Improve styles for 4.8 widgets

TwentyThirteen Changelog

• Improve styles for 4.8 widgets

TwentyTwelve Changelog

• Improve styles for 4.8 widgets

TwentyEleven Changelog

• Improve styles for 4.8 widgets

TwentyTen Changelog

• Improve styles for 4.8 widgets
• Introduce media widgets for images, audio, and video with extensible base for additional media widgets in the future.

Let me know how I did :). Excited to get my first prop :)

@ocean90 Following @maedahbatool 's patch, I went ahead and added the changelogs in the readme.txt files as well as updated the relevant codex pages with the actual changelog along with the trac ticket links.

Kindly, take a look at it, I think next steps are for a release lead.

Looking forward!

#40943 was marked as a duplicate.

Good work @maedahbatool and @mrahmadawais! Made a few small tweaks. Stylesheets need updated version numbers too. It's always a good time to check copyright dates on the themes, and I also fixed a typo.

Change version numbers in stylesheets, fix typo in Twenty Fourteen readme and update copyright dates for themes.

Good work @maedahbatool and @mrahmadawais!

Thanks 🤗 | @maedahbatool Congrats on your first contribution!

Made a few small tweaks. Stylesheets need to be updated version numbers too.

Dang it, how'd I missed that :P

It's always a good time to check copyright dates on the themes, and I also fixed a typo.

Learning :) Would take care of it next time.

Thank You @davidakennedy and @mrahmadawais. Looking forward to improving my contribution in the upcoming releases. 😇

@maedahbatool @mrahmadawais Thanks again to you both! I've updated the changelogs for Twenty Fourteen, Fifteen and Seventeen since there were changes in the themes not listed there for this release.

This was a bit weird, and hard to track because of the way we've done a few minor releases in the past six months. So some commits got pushed out in minor releases, but others didn't. So this included a lot of those other updates, especially for Twenty Seventeen.

We have documentation on how to do a lot of this here: ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/about/release-cycle/update-bundled-themes/ Would love your feedback. What needs more explanation? I plan to make some changes there later today.

Feel free to drop the feedback in the core-themes Slack channel or ping me directly on Slack. I'd love to get other people comfortable with parts of this process.
