Now we are also logging the full query sent to ElasticSearch and the PHP backtrace, so we can have much more detailed information about the root cause. [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1954](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1954) 28 January 2021 21:59:37 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/initial-implementation-of-files-acl-endpoint/) This allows us to restrict access to files based on different signals from the request( e.g. inherited post status, user permissions, etc.).

This code is not enabled in production just yet. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1948 #mu-plugins, #file-access-control, #security 22 January 2021 22:03:04 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/updated-automattic-vip-go-mu-plugins-pull-request-template/) Since the changelog generation is now automated, we’ve made some changes to the pull request template to reflect that. We removed links to pull requests from the examples since they’re no longer needed and edited the changelog checklist item to be inclusive. The expectation is that everyone fills out a proper changelog description and this is now reflected properly in the pull request template. [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1953](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1953) 21 January 2021 21:59:40 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/phpcs-error-cleanup-iputils-class-renaming-3/) As the last part of phpcs cleanup, we renamed `iputils.php` file to adhere to our naming standards. To increase the safety of this change was done in 3 steps. This is the last step in that process including the removal of the now unused file under the original name. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1947 #mu-plugins #code-standards 21 January 2021 21:59:30 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/automates-changelog-creation/) This change adds a circleCI job, that runs on master after each merge. It finds the latest closed PR and create a Changelog record _draft_ based on the PR description. [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1940](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1940) #mu-plugins 19 January 2021 22:13:00 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-vip-search/) We updated ElasticPress dependency for VIP Search to better handle machine user- initiated actions, move indexing locks on a per-site basis for multisite installs, plus coding standards cleanup and enforcement. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1946 19 January 2021 22:11:51 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/ensure-attachment-is-set-as-an-indexable-post-type-in-vip-search-when-protected-content-feature-is-enabled/) Presently there’s potential for a race condition between setting / unsetting attachment as an indexable post type. To combat this and meet the expectations previously set, we should add attachment as an indexable post type in VIP Search when protected content is enabled. This is done with priority `PHP_INT_MAX - 1` so that `PHP_INT_MAX` can be used to remove attachment from the indexable post types if needed in some situations. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1943 19 January 2021 22:11:46 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/search-corrupted-index-versioning-self-healing/) After reviewing logs from our corrupted index detection, we are confident in enabling the self-healing. This change enables the self-healing and shortens the interval between checks. https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/1934 19 January 2021 22:11:43 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-9-3-1/) We upgraded Jetpack 9.3 to Jetpack 9.3.1. 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 --- * [Previous](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/page/37/?output_format=md) * [Page 1](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/?output_format=md) * … * [Page 35](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/page/35/?output_format=md) * [Page 36](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/page/36/?output_format=md) * [Page 37](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/page/37/?output_format=md) * Page 38 * [Page 39](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/page/39/?output_format=md) * [Page 40](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/page/40/?output_format=md) * [Next](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/page/39/?output_format=md)
