Changelog

All notable changes to Benecaster are documented here. Version numbers follow Semantic Versioning — MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Breaking changes and deprecations are always called out explicitly.

Deprecations remain available for one full major version before removal. When a hook or function is deprecated, a _deprecated_hook() or _deprecated_function() notice appears in your debug log. See For Developers → Deprecation Policy for details.

The Benecaster feed covers the Benecaster plugin only, never an add-on. An add-on that is still coming soon has no feed until it is released.

In WordPress — release notes also appear where WordPress shows them for any plugin. On Plugins → Installed Plugins, click View details beside Benecaster or an add-on and open the Changelog tab. Benecaster’s notes come from WordPress.org. An add-on’s come from benecaster.com through the Benecaster Add-on Manager, and its Changelog tab appears when an update is waiting, listing every release newer than the version you have installed.
