We’re happy to announce the release of ClassicPress 1.4.2-rc1.

We’re happy to announce a public release candidate for ClassicPress 1.4.2-rc1. This release reintroduces the following planned changes for 1.4.0 that were reverted quickly due to bugs:

  • Update TinyMCE Visual editor to 4.9.11. This was achieved by reapplying the upgrade to TinyMCE 4.9.11, and thoroughly testing for breaking behaviour. Testing did reveal issues in handling Block and other comment containing content that will be addressed in a future release.
  • Upgrade PHPMailer. PHPMailer has been updated through several versions to 6.6.3. It contains a minor adjustment which is backwards compatible with any code that calls the PHPMailer files directly. Unit tests have been introduce to ensure the adjustments remain in place on future updates.

This release also contains some minor bug fixes and enables automated PHP Compatability checking.

For new features as compared to 1.4.1 and older releases of ClassicPress, please see the version 1.4.1 release notes.
