Changelog: VIP MU plugins [Production]

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.

Changed

• HyperDB: Updated to the latest upstream version.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Moved collaboration and its bundled HTTP polling provider behind one opt-in Gutenberg experiment, disabled by default, while allowing plugins to replace the default provider.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Enabled Gutenberg’s unified real-time collaboration experiment by default and moved its control from Gutenberg’s Experiments page to the VIP Real-Time Collaboration settings page.
• Updated the default version of wp-parsely to 3.24.

Added

• Real-Time Collaboration: Added session-scoped Anonymous User identities so authorized collaborators could continue editing when WordPress user profiles were unavailable.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Added an emergency fallback setting that disabled collaboration and the VIP WebSocket provider together.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Added an admin notice when the installed Gutenberg version was older than the required 23.8.0.

Fixed

• Real-Time Collaboration: Prevented misplaced collaborator cursors, selections, and highlights inside collapsed content, showed presence on the nearest visible container, and revealed collapsed Details content when navigating to a collaborator.

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.

Fixed

• Fatal error during configuration of AI Connectors

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.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Disabled Quick Edit for posts with active collaborative sessions and improved remote cursor and selection positioning while resizing the browser window.
• VIP Image Resize: Fixed full-size image requests returning theme-constrained dimensions instead of the original attachment dimensions.

Changed

• Real-Time Collaboration: Updated the bundled Gutenberg integration from the 0.2-20260706-pr79021 build based on Gutenberg 23.5.0 to the 0.2-20260720-pr79021 build based on the July 20 Gutenberg trunk snapshot. The VIP RTC plugin remains at v0.3.2.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Added independent controls for collaborator join, leave, and post-update notifications, and avoided synchronous CRDT updates while editing alone to reduce typing latency outside active collaboration.
• Updated the wp-parsely submodule (used for local development environments) to version 3.23.4.
• VIP Image Resize: Add the vip_image_resize_use_theme_json_layout_widths filter to opt out of using theme.json layout widths.
