[ RSS  ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/feed/) Search Showing page 3 of 68 14 September 2026 05:40:16 GMT+0000 [ Parse.ly Dashboard ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/parse-ly-dashboard/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/parse-ly-dashboard/parse-ly-dashboard_2026-09-14/) ### Added * Color vision modes in the Overlay. The View menu now offers palettes tuned for red-green, blue-yellow and monochrome color vision, each chosen so that performance levels stay distinguishable. The setting is independent of the light and dark themes, and the existing colors remain the default. * The Overlay panel can now be docked to the left or right side of the page. 11 September 2026 09:14:10 GMT+0000 [ Parse.ly Dashboard ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/parse-ly-dashboard/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/parse-ly-dashboard/parse-ly-dashboard_2026-09-11/) ### Added * Added an Export option to the Categories tab under Referrers, which downloads the full referrer breakdown by category as a spreadsheet or CSV. * Sage app can now answer Parse.ly usage and adoption questions, such as active users, reports run, and API calls per endpoint. * Sage now answers Parse.ly dashboard-usage and adoption questions, including for a specific past month (e.g. “dashboard usage for February 2026”). ### Changed * Signal now measures conversion-based scores using your site’s conversion attribution model of preference, and site admins can choose a different one for Signal from the KPI Metrics page. ### Fixed * Author, tag, section, campaign, referrer, and conversion groups beyond the first 100 are now available in filters, reports, and group management. Previously a site with many groups could see a group in its listing but not select it as a filter or edit it. * Fixed the Sage chat sometimes staying stuck loading after a reply finished. * Fixed Sage documentation links: removed duplicates, made same-named links distinct, and stopped showing bare URLs. 11 September 2026 04:28:02 GMT+0000 [ VIP Dashboard ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-dashboard/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-dashboard/vip-dashboard-2026-09-11/) ### Added * Added a link to Safe Publish in WP Admin after configuration. 10 September 2026 16:44:43 GMT+0000 ### v5.0.0-alpha.4 [ VIP-CLI ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-cli/) [ GitHub ](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-cli/releases/tag/5.0.0-alpha.4) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-cli/vip-cli-v5-0-0-alpha-4/) ### Changed * Dev-env: Improved local database performance defaults — these apply to all database use, with the largest gains on big SQL imports (binary logging disabled on MySQL, InnoDB buffer pool raised to 1G to match the VIP production default, larger redo log, relaxed per-commit flushing). Existing environments pick the settings up automatically on their next start * Edge Worker deploys are upload-only by default and now preview current and intended active state before mutation. * Edge Worker deployment failures now distinguish upload failures from ambiguous enable failures and provide state-verification guidance. * Updated contributor guidance for maintaining the Node.js and Go CLI runtimes. * No customer-facing change until these artifacts are published. * VIP CLI 5 prereleases can now publish signed `vip-next` and `go-search-replace` archives through a guarded GitHub Actions and Buildkite promotion flow. * Fixed VIP CLI 5 prerelease promotion when Buildkite returns Windows artifact paths with backslash separators. ### Related * Companion PRs: #2871 (myloader `-o` fix), #2872 (search-replace size fix), #2873( ENGINE validation) * 🤖 Generated with Claude Code ### Added * Added `vip edge-workers` commands to scaffold, build, validate, deploy, inspect, enable, disable, and delete Edge Workers. * Added `vip edge-workers deploy --enable` to explicitly enable newly created or inactive workers after a successful upload. * Go CLI: Added update notifications and an `update` command with stable and preview channels, download verification, and recovery from installation failures. 10 September 2026 08:25:41 GMT+0000 [ Parse.ly Dashboard ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/parse-ly-dashboard/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/parse-ly-dashboard/parse-ly-dashboard_2026-09-10/) ### Added * Match Any (OR logic) added to the Title filter. ### Fixed * Fixed several pages being cut off on mobile, including the filter panel, referrer groups, the goal history chart, and shared links. * Sage and MCP historical queries that send full ISO timestamps for `start`/`end` now query the requested dates instead of today or the real-time window. * Sage answers questions that name no date range by picking a recent window and saying which one, instead of asking. * Sage finds topics that only exist as smart tags, and no longer reports them as missing. * Recirculation rate listings carry the post title, section, author and publish date. 09 September 2026 14:41:52 GMT+0000 [ VIP Dashboard ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-dashboard/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-dashboard/vip-dashboard-2026-09-09-2/) ### Fixed * Fixed the application Overview page showing a narrow two-column card layout on laptop screens that had room for the full four-column layout. 09 September 2026 13:59:39 GMT+0000 [ VIP Dashboard ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-dashboard/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-dashboard/vip-dashboard-2026-09-09/) ### Fixed * Fixed the Software card on the application Overview page reporting “Software is up to date” for WordPress and Node.js versions that were out of date or deprecated. 09 September 2026 11:59:28 GMT+0000 [ Parse.ly Dashboard ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/parse-ly-dashboard/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/parse-ly-dashboard/parse-ly-dashboard_2026-09-09/) ### Fixed * Fixed the Channels, Campaigns and Conversions sections on post detail pages showing sitewide totals instead of data for the post being viewed. * Stopped sending alerts and alert error emails to users who no longer have access to a site. * Printing a page with a pulse chart no longer cuts the chart off at the right edge. 08 September 2026 21:50:30 GMT+0000 [ Parse.ly Dashboard ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/parse-ly-dashboard/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/parse-ly-dashboard/parse-ly-dashboard_2026-09-08/) ### Added * We’re experimenting with new ways of exporting large amounts of data. If you’d like to try it out, contact support and ask to be included in the Bulk Exports beta! ### Fixed * Closing the Heads Up Display now sticks. It stays closed as you move between pages until you reopen it from the Parse.ly leaf. 08 September 2026 17:37:24 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ GitHub ](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/7237) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/vip-mu-plugins-v20260908-0/) ### Changed * Updated the wp-parsely submodule (used for local development environments) to version 3.24.1. ### Added * Include plugin Update URI metadata in site details sent to the platform. ### Fixed * Real-Time Collaboration: Prevented stale collaboration state from overwriting newer saved content by disabling collaboration for post types that could not persist its CRDT document. ### Removed * Removed the unused Parsedown development dependency. 05 September 2026 21:44:14 GMT+0000 [ Parse.ly Dashboard ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/parse-ly-dashboard/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/parse-ly-dashboard/parse-ly-dashboard-2026-09-05/) ### Added * A public Parse.ly changelog at docs.parse.ly/changelog.
