• Plugin Updates
  • Dark Matter 2.1.0
    • Added support and tests for Site Health Checks feature, originally introduced in WordPress 5.2. Tests the following;
      • Ensure the sunrise.php dropin is present.
      • Ensure the sunrise.php matches the version within Dark Matter.
      • Ensure the SUNRISE constant is setup correctly.
      • Checks FORCE_SSL_ADMIN is setup correctly and encourages best practices regarding HTTPS.
      • Checks COOKIE_DOMAIN to ensure it is not set.
      • Recommends a primary domain is set.
    • Changed the behaviour when COOKIE_DOMAIN is set.
      • Now disables SSO (Single-Sign On) and no longer produces in a `wp_die()` error.
      • The new Site Health check will note an error if COOKIE_DOMAIN is set and state that SSO has been disabled.
    • Added PHPCS through Composer for development.
      • Set to adhere to the WordPress-VIP-Go coding standards (https://wpvip.com/documentation/how-to-install-php-code-sniffer-for-wordpress-vip/).
      • Reorganised filenames to be all lowercase with hyphens and prefixed `class-` where appropriate.
      • Improved checks and sanitisation of Server Variables.
      • All spaces are tabs – courtesy of phpcbf – rejoice!
    • Changed the way the SSO script is included.
      • The script tag is now created within JavaScript.
      • Unix epoch is appended to the URL for cache breaking.
      • Note; it is still recommended to exclude the `dark_matter_dmcheck` and `dark_matter_dmsso` is excluded from any request caching solution.
    • When creating a new domain, the protocol field now defaults to HTTPS.
    • Fixed the DM_URL->unmap() method doc block.
    • Switch the CSS build from SASS to PostCSS and CSS / Webpack is updated accordingly.
    • Removed an unused property in DM_UI class.
    • Changed `wp darkmatter dropin` check to use the same test method from Site Health.
    • Added localisation to the JavaScript UI components.
    • Tested with WordPress 5.4.x.
    • Contributing notes;
      • Added husky / lint-staged.
      • Pre-commit runs lint checks for JavaScript and PHP files.
• Developer
  • Legacy Vagrant build folder removed
