The VIP Platform Changelog includes updates made to the functionality and behavior of the platform's tooling (i.e. VIP Dashboard, VIP-CLI), VIP MU plugins, VIP File System, caching layers, and other underlying architecture and software.
17:20:07 GMT+0000
We’ve implemented a timeout on Elasticsearch queries, it matches the Enterprise Search client timeout so there’s not going to be a difference in terms of behavior. It’s meant as a safety mechanism to prevent runaway queries after the client has already disconnected.
17:20:03 GMT+0000
Jetpack 10.5-beta has been added to MU-plugins. Users can pin at Jetpack 10.5.
15:47:27 GMT+0000
Plugin Updated: wp-parsely 3.0.2
We upgraded the wp-parsely 3.0 plugin tree to version 3.0.2. This change will only apply if your site has opted to use the latest version of our plugin.
15:47:15 GMT+0000
A Change has been made which will force the us of the "–skip-delete" flag when the WP CLI "media regenerate" command is run. This will prevent the media regenerate command from inadvertently deleting original images in the VIP file system.

Deployments
We’ve improved the UI of the deployments list page. Also, now it is possible to see the ongoing deployments along with the build logs.
User Management
We’ve made some improvements to the Invitation dialog to make it clear which organization you’re creating the invitation for. We’ve also fixed a bug that was showing two sets of buttons when editing permissions.
16:42:23 GMT+0000
Improved comparison of IPv6 addresses to handle some corner cases
16:42:19 GMT+0000
true if the counter cannot be incremented to allow the request to go to ES.11:58:21 GMT+0000
Incorporate hot fix from 3.0.1 for earlier versions.
11:58:17 GMT+0000
The plugin now correctly handles partial IP matches in the X-Forwarded-For header.
11:58:12 GMT+0000
We have implemented cache invalidation after index and bulk index to make sure that any cached requests will not use stale data.
11:58:07 GMT+0000
We have introduced a graceful fallback in case of a request to Enterprise Search backend fails. We would serve a previously-stored stale response (up to 5 minutes).
Additionally, only query requests are counted against the fail counter that blocks subsequent remote requests in case of a failure (via vip_safe_wp_remote_request).
11:58:04 GMT+0000
Do not rely upon the $_ENV superglobal: depending on the PHP configuration parameters, it may or may not be populated.
20:38:37 GMT+0000
We upgraded Parse.ly from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1
20:37:42 GMT+0000
We’ve introduced wp vip-search queue purge command that would clear everything from async index queue: https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/2731. Example usage:
wp vip-search queue purge
19:40:02 GMT+0000
Database backup list
We’ve added a Backups view to the VIP Dashboard to display a list of database backups taken for your environments.
Permalinks for Org Users Page
We’ve added links for the three tabs on the Organization Users page to more easily allow linking to a specific tab.
21:33:55 GMT+0000
Only cache index_exists requests that are valid. Invalidate if response code is not in safelist.
17:12:10 GMT+0000
Enhancement for the asynchronous synchronization mechanism. This change address an edge case in which stuck jobs would not be retried by requeueing them again.
17:11:43 GMT+0000
We upgraded Parse.ly from 3.0-RC2 to 3.0.0
17:11:30 GMT+0000
Changed path of WPCF7_UPLOADS_TMP_DIR to use a subdirectory of /tmp
17:11:15 GMT+0000
To prevent an expensive query occurring on every admin posts-edit page load, this caches the available months/years for the dropdown filter.
