Holiday Release Schedule Notice: Dec 13 to Jan 8

As the holiday season approaches, we want to ensure everyone has the chance to relax and enjoy this special time with their loved ones. Therefore, there won’t be any scheduled MU-Plugins releases from December 13th to January 8th.

During this period, no new feature or maintenance code will be pushed to the production branch on MU-plugins. As always, should the need arise, be it a security mitigation or other critical time-sensitive fix, we will deploy those.

We wish you all a wonderful holiday break!
