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 17th to January 5th.

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!

Instrumentation changes for New Relic

We’ve rolled out instrumentation changes for New Relic. Due to the nature of the rollout, it may have caused a temporary increase in sampling percentage on November 18, 2025, between 20:20 and 20:32 UTC. Now, to troubleshoot problematic requests, a new query argument can be used: ?vip-force-trace=1. This will force a specific request to be traced and not be subject to the sampling.

VIP File System performance improvements

We have improved the performance speeds of VIP File System PUT and DELETE requests. Uploads are now up to 5X faster and delete operations are up to 4X faster.

In addition, new global helper functions were added to a8c-files.php in VIP MU plugins: wpvip_fs_local_file_addwpvip_fs_local_file_remove, and wpvip_fs_local_file_list. These helper functions can be used by WordPress applications to mark files to be handled by the PHP stream wrapper in the local temporary directory rather than being uploaded to the VIP File System.
