Removed

• Parse.ly plugin < 3.15

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6064

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.

https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6072

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.
