CHANGELOG

v4.0.1 (Oct 28, 2023)

  • UPDATED:

    • WordPress Core:
      • from v5.9.x to v6.3.2
    • Dependencies:
      • theme: twentytwentythree
      • plugin: akismet

  • UPDATED:

    • updated vlucas/phpdotenv to run on PHP 8.0+
    • updated composer/installers to run on PHP 8.0+

  • BREAKING:

    • Removed the platform block, eliminating the enforced PHP 7.4 version constraint from the composer.
    • Removed all optional themes and plugins. We now default to a single theme (twentytwentythree) and one default plugin (Akismet). You're free to include any additional plugins or themes as needed. The aim is to make this bundle as generic and non-opinionated as possible.

  • ADDED:

    • Add "allow-plugins" to composer to trust necessary installers. This change ensures "johnpbloch/wordpress-core-installer" and "composer/installers" are trusted automatically, preventing prompts during composer install.
