WordPress 5.5 has been released on the Pantheon platform. This version of WordPress introduces a new method, wp_get_environment_type(), which returns whether your site is running on a live, test or development environment. Pantheon supports this method, so it will return the correct value on any site that has upgraded to WordPress 5.5.
