Fixed
- Fatal error during configuration of AI Connectors
18 August 2026
17:10:05 GMT+0000
Added
- It is possible to use
vip config envvar set to configure AI Connectors in WordPress
Changed
- Real-Time Collaboration: Rendered empty editors and containers with their actual default block so its client ID, DOM element, and caret persisted when editing began, without saving the placeholder before entry.
18 August 2026
17:04:11 GMT+0000
Changed
- Real-Time Collaboration: Avoids showing a newer-autosave warning when the autosaved content is already confirmed in the shared document, while retaining the warning when content may be missing because a user edited alone or the collaboration backend was unavailable. See WordPress/gutenberg#80539.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Compacts the CRDT snapshot when serializing it for persistence, preventing deleted editing history from continually inflating post meta without removing the live session’s undo history. See WordPress/gutenberg#80707.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Retains the inner-template synchronization fix from WordPress/gutenberg#79021. The VIP RTC plugin version is unchanged at
v0.3.2.
- Updated the wp-parsely submodule (used for local development environments) to version 3.23.5.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Created block templates synchronously during insertion so connected peers received a single complete block without duplicate template contents.
Fixed
- Real-Time Collaboration: Prevents derived updates from controlled blocks such as Navigation from intercepting a collaborator’s first undo or clearing redo. See WordPress/gutenberg#80503.
- Post Preview: When RTC is disabled, uses WordPress Core’s autosave handling so reverting a title to its published value does not leave Preview showing stale autosave content. See WordPress/gutenberg#80769.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Displayed collaborator selections that spanned mixed text and non-text blocks, whole-block keyboard selections, and entire posts.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Cleared the post’s dirty state after successfully saving edited post metadata.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Wrapped long usernames and mentions in the notes sidebar so the text remained readable.
Added
- RTC: Added configuration support for the multiplexed WebSocket transport.

Fixed
- Fixed
admin_url() resolving to the production hostname on sandboxes, which caused cross-origin request failures for AJAX calls using admin-ajax.php.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Preserved collaborators’ unsaved content and post meta when another user saves, prevented redundant empty autosave revisions, and restored undo and redo when plugins with incompatible meta boxes disable collaboration.

- VIP Image Resize: Add the vip_image_resize_use_theme_json_layout_widths filter to opt out of using theme.json layout widths.
