Pantheon release notes: Plugins

The latest version of Solr Search for WordPress, version 2.5.3, became available as of April 24, 2024.

Highlights

• Bug fixes: Fixed an issue identified by a user (offshorealert on WordPress.org) that prevented tax_query arguments from being parsed correctly by Solr.

You can upgrade to Solr Search for WordPress 2.5.3 from your WordPress dashboard on your Pantheon development environment to get this update.

On March 25, 2024, it was announced in the WordPress development blog that the default storage location for the Font Library (added in WordPress 6.5) will be wp-content/uploads/fonts. Previously, we had added a feature to our Pantheon MU Plugin to support the new Font Library feature by changing the previous default path (wp-content/fonts) to wp-content/uploads/fonts. This change to our MU plugin removes that override as it is no longer necessary. You can read more about the Font Library feature in our guide to using the Font Library on Pantheon.

Pantheon Advanced Page Cache v1.5.0 is now available on WordPress.org and GitHub. This release adds a new filter to make cache purges less aggressive and provide more flexibility for developers and the sites they maintain. You can learn about the filter in the plugin's README file which includes an example of how to use it.

Additionally, this update implements our recently updated WPUnit Helpers project to simplify PHP Unit tests as well as our recently developed Plugin Release Actions to automate steps in the release process.

You can read the full changelog in the GitHub release notes.

WordPress 6.5 will add a new Font Library feature. The Font Library allows you to upload fonts from your computer or add any of the fonts available on Google's font library to your WordPress site. In anticipation of this, Pantheon has added a feature to our Pantheon MU Plugin to support the new Font Library feature. You can read more about the Font Library feature in our guide to using the Font Library on Pantheon.
