Not a lot of significant changes in this patch release, just a [couple of bugfixes](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/releases/tag/9.3.1): https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1942 19 January 2021 22:11:39 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/generate-site-details-more-frequently/) As part of the project to obtain Site Details from all VIP sites (to gather data such as the enabled plugins and their versions, Jetpack status, VIP search status…), we are now increasing the frequency of generation, from 4 hours to 30 minutes. This will allow us to fetch data in a more reliable and predictable way while we keep developing the project. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1944 19 January 2021 22:11:18 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/phpcs-error-cleanup-iputils-class-renaming-part-2/) As the last part of phpcs cleanup, we plan to rename `iputils.php` file to adhere to our naming standards. To increase the safety of this change the previous change only introduced the new file. This change starts using it, before the final follow- up change that will remove the old file. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1939 13 January 2021 20:52:42 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/plugin-updated-jetpack-9-3/) We have upgraded Jetpack 9.3 to the final Jetpack 9.3 release. Although this new version will be rolled out to all sites on Thursday 14th, remember you can start testing it in your site by adding this constant to your `vip-config. php` file: `define( 'VIP_JETPACK_PINNED_VERSION', '9.3');` 13 January 2021 20:52:40 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/plugin-updated-akismet-4-1-8/) We upgraded Akismet to v4.1.8 (previously 4.1.7) This release includes two fixes: * Fixed missing fields in submit-spam and submit-ham calls that could lead to reduced accuracy. * Fixed usage of deprecated jQuery function. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1928 13 January 2021 20:52:38 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/phpcs-error-cleanup-iputils-class-renaming-part-1/) As the last part of phpcs cleanup, we plan to rename the file `iputils.php` to adhere to our naming standards. To increase the safety of this change, it only adds the new file. Next changes will actually start using the new file. This is a follow- up of a previous cleanup where this file was cleaned up. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1937 #mu-plugins #code-standards 13 January 2021 20:52:35 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/set-correct-links-in-the-vip-dashboard/) We have updated the VIP Dashboard Page to include the current correct links to wpvip. com and docs.wpvip.com https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1931 13 January 2021 20:52:31 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/plugin-made-obsolete-gutenberg-ramp/) We have updated the `gutenberg-ramp` plugin, that is now obsolete, to show an admin notice on sites where it’s still enabled. More information on this: > [Removing Gutenberg Ramp](https://lobby.vip.wordpress.com/2020/11/23/removing-gutenberg-ramp/) https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1930 12 January 2021 12:42:59 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/bug-fix-adjusted-shutdown-priorities-for-query-monitor-dispatch-and-log2logstash/) log2logstash runs fastcgi_finish_request during its shutdown hook function. Doing this before query monitor is finished causes query monitor to not load any panels. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1927 12 January 2021 12:42:55 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/bug-fix-skip-elasticsearch-index-database-count-comparison-health-check-if-no-index-exists/) In a multisite context, if one site has VIP Search all sites have access to VIP Search. Even if they don’t have an index. This is problematic as it logs false positives in our health checks. To prevent this from happening, we now skip site / indexable combos that don’t exist. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1933 12 January 2021 12:42:45 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/bug-fix-append-blog-id-to-vip-search-post-count-cache-keys/) There was a bug with the VIP Search validate-counts command where the cache keys for post counts are the same for identical query args when iterating all subsites when using the `--network-wide` flag. To account for this, we appended the blog ID to the cache keys. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1932 12 January 2021 12:42:38 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/added-ability-to-set-fixed-timestamps-in-vip-search/) Adding the ability to set fixed timestamps in VIP Search is handy for creating consistent and reliable automated tests. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1935 #mu-plugins #search 12 January 2021 10:59:27 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/updates-the-way-vip-search-versioning-information-is-stored/) The versioning information for vip-search index needed to be updated to address global indexables (e.g. User), and different versioning across sites in a multisite environment. This change stores global indexable separately – one per network. While making sure non-global versions are stored one per site. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1921 #mu-plugins #search 12 January 2021 10:58:19 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/phpcs-error-cleanup-iputils-class/) As part of the ongoing work on cleaning up legacy we go over files not touched in a while and make sure they still comply with our code standards. This change updates the style of IpUtils library. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1929 #mu-plugins #code-standards 05 January 2021 23:24:52 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/jetpack-9-3-beta-added/) Jetpack 9.3-beta has been released and is now available in mu-plugins. To test the new version, simply add this constant to your `vip-config.php` file: `define( 'VIP_JETPACK_PINNED_VERSION',' 9.3');` 05 January 2021 22:59:54 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/resolves-phpcompatibility-phpcs-warnings-for-php-7-4-wpcom-error-handler/) The warnings were already reviewed previously and deemed false positive in this case. However, we updated the implementation here to silence/resolve the warnings. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1920 04 January 2021 17:18:54 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/added-proposal-requirements-to-vip-go-mu-plugins-pr-template/) As part of improving our SDLC process, we’re going to require proposals for feature additions / significant feature alterations. This will allow us to ensure that features and significant feature alterations deliver much more value to our platform by being properly planned out, executed, and released. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1908 #mu-plugins 29 December 2020 11:18:13 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/store-site-details-in-a-temporary-location/) We keep working in the Site Details functionality, that will allow us to have up to date details about sites, such as the list of plugins and their versions, whether VIP Search is enabled, Jetpack connection status… While the final implementation is still in progress, we are now storing site details in a temporary location in logstash, so that we can start using this data as soon as possible. One example is finding all sites that are running a certain version of a plugin, to prepare for an upgrade to a newer version. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1924 #mu-plugins #site-details 29 December 2020 11:01:10 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/add-more-information-to-site-details/) We keep working in the Site Details functionality, that will allow us to have up to date details about sites, such as the list of plugins and their versions, whether VIP Search is enabled, Jetpack connection status… This adds some more fields, namely the information about Jetpack (version, active status, Jetpack id, active modules). In the future, all these will be stored and be accessible to run actions on them. E.g, easily find all sites that have a certain old Jetpack version that needs upgrading. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1923 #mu-plugins #site-details 29 December 2020 10:58:59 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/improved-internal-stat-tracking-for-cache-manager/) We have updated stats keys allowing us to better track usage for Cache Manager functionality. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1922 #mu-plugins --- * [Previous](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/page/65/?output_format=md) * [Page 1](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/?output_format=md) * … * [Page 63](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/page/63/?output_format=md) * [Page 64](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/page/64/?output_format=md) * [Page 65](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/page/65/?output_format=md) * Page 66 * [Page 67](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/page/67/?output_format=md) * [Page 68](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/page/68/?output_format=md) * [Next](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/page/67/?output_format=md)
