Changelog: VIP MU plugins [Staging]
The release window for VIP 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 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.
