#  Changelog: VIP MU plugins [Staging]

The release window for [VIP MU plugins](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-go-mu-plugins/)
is currently Tuesdays between 08:00 and 22:00 UTC (09:00 and 23:00 UTC when Daylight
Saving Time is in effect in North America).  Changes made and deployed to the VIP
MU plugins Staging branch are labeled `[Status] Deployed to staging` and visible
in a filtered [VIP MU plugins pull request](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pulls?q=label%3A%22%5BStatus%5D+Deployed+to+staging%22+)
view.

By default, the staging branch of VIP MU plugins is deployed to one non-production
environment for all applications. This allows customers to test changes before they
are released to production environments. This also provides time for the VIP Team
to observe errors and test for bugs across a wider variety of applications.

---

### Changed

 * WP-CLI `wp vip alloptions find` command improvements: add compressed size which
   is a closer representation of the size Memcached limits get triggered add; swap
   the custom `wp option autoload set` for WP-CLI Core’s `wp option set-autoload`;
   remove "Total size" line. This doesn’t take into account keys, and is as such
   not very useful, especially given the size of the full serialized value is also
   provided.

### Added

Introduced the `vip_files_acl_is_valid_path_for_site` filter to extend the `is_valid_path_for_site`
function. This new filter allows overriding the VIP File System’s validation process
for multisite setups, which uses the `/wp-content/mu-plugins/files/acl/endpoint-
check-file-acl.php` endpoint to check permissions for paths under `/wp-content/uploads`.
It enables custom use cases, such as accessing directories outside the default site
asset paths (but within the uploads folder) while adhering to other ACL rules.

**Warning:** Improper use of this filter could expose private data. Developers using
it must ensure that the logic they implement enforces proper access control to prevent
data leaks between subsites.
