Here it finally is, the long-awaited WP-CLI release v2.5.0! For this release, we had 73 contributors collaborate to get a whopping 600 pull requests merged.
It was a very tough release to get out, as so many different systems and dependencies all broke or had issues at the same time: PHP, MySQL, Travis CI, Composer, Requests, … all of these produced major compatibility issues in a seemingly concerted effort!
More importantly, though, I’m pretty certain that all of the WP-CLI contributors were additionally suffering under the “new normal” of COVID-19 – those contributors lucky enough to still earn regular income during the pandemic are still battling health issues (for themselves and their family), isolation and burnout.
