2.5.0

• Switched to a new reusable build tool for CSS and JavaScript rather than some self cobbled together Webpack process.
• Switched to wordpress/elements package with Dependency Extraction rather than including a standalone version of React.
  • Should prevent the possibility of any compatibility issues and ensures the plugin and WordPress use the same version.
  • JS for the Admin UI is now 12KB instead of 180KB. CSS is marginally smaller.
  • Static assets now use a dynamic, build-related, version instead of relying on the constant.
  • Removed the plugin's own webpack and postcss config files.
  • This plugin now only includes minified, built, CSS and JS files. Non-minified is no longer included.
  • JS now included in the footer.
• Moves build assets into dist/ folder rather than build/. (Note: you may need to adjust deployment process ignore directives.)
• Uses wordpress/api-fetch package instead of jQuery.ajax().
  • This also removes the dependency on jQuery for Dark Matter Plugin.
• Admin menu now updates when the primary domain is changed.
  • These updates are applied when the data is loaded, rather than specific actions. This captures changing the primary domain, adding as well as deleting.
  • Resolves issue, #111.
• Developer updates;
  • Removed version bump and Snyk.
  • Resolves a couple of Dependabot issues.
• Tested up to WordPress 6.8.2.

Full Changelog: 2.4.0...2.5.0

2.4.0

• The SSO between admin and primary domain - used to show the admin bar on mapped domains - has been removed.
  • Functionality was based on third-party cookies and no longer works reliably.
  • A number of browsers, such as Brave, Firefox, Safari, block or handle third party cookies in a manner that means the feature doesn't work.
  • Similar to issue with the rebuild attempted in v3. More information, and links to browser's documentations, can be found on PR 109.
• Fixed a warning notice for dynamic properties in newer versions of PHP.
• Fixed an issue where Script Modules domains didn't map properly.
• Fixed an issue with custom font(s) URL(s) are not being mapped when adjusting settings for Full Site Editing.
• Fixed the response for creating a domain with the REST API endpoint not returning the proper response (was missing the sub-object for site).
• Improved the escaping of Request URI in DM_URL.
• Moved to a new update server.
• Switched Root API for the Admin UI to that introduced in React 18+.
• Changed name from "Dark Matter" to "Dark Matter Plugin".
• Tested upto WordPress 6.8.1.
• Plugin development:
  • Composer and NPM dependencies updated.
  • Fixed an issue on GitHub Actions where SVN has been removed from ubuntu-latest container.
  • Simplified the PHPCS configuration.

Full Changelog: 2.3.4...2.4.0

2.3.4

• Fixed an issue where assets such as CSS and JavaScript were mapped on login/register pages, even if the URL is on the admin domain. This was found in the forthcoming 3.0.0 release.
• PHP 8.1 compatibility fixes and tweaks. Dark Matter now supports versions 7.0 to 8.1, in line with WordPress Core.
• Plugin development changes:
  • Added GitHub Dependency Review action, which runs on every pull request. More information can be found on GitHub here.
  • Temporarily disabled the Snyk check due to a peculiar error.
• Composer and NPM dependencies updated.
• Tested upto WordPress 6.1

Full Changelog: 2.3.3...2.3.4

2.3.3

• Updated the dependencies for Composer and Node.
• Added version bump dependency to aid in future releases of Dark Matter.
• Tested upto WordPress 6.0.3

2.3.2

• Fixed an uncaught issue with the way the cached domain is cast into an object.

Full Changelog: 2.3.1...2.3.2

2.3.1

• Fixed a major performance issue introduced in 2.3.0 for excessive database calls for primary domains. (#99)
  • This was caused by a malformed cache set for primary domains, after it was moved to resolve an issue previously where it would update only the database when a new primary domain was set.
  • Also removed an old call to set a primary domain, which is no longer needed and was causing irrelevant UPDATE SQL queries (it was essentially update the values to exactly what they were already).
• Moved the primary domain cache set when retrieving a domain to slightly later in the process.
• Atypical installations should not need to flush the cache. However, you may need to use WP CLI wp cache flush - or equivalent - after upgrading.

Full Changelog: 2.3.0...2.3.1

2.3.0

• Added switch_to_blog() support for Media Domains. (#97)
  • When using the various attachment functions within the switch_to_blog() context, it will now respect media domain settings on a per site basis.
  • Setting media domains through the DM_NETWORK_MEDIA constant now works more fully.
  • It is now possible to controlled media domains through the network_media property on DarkMatter_Domains, to enable more sophisticated logic in code.
• Tweaked the way mapped domains are detected to better support scenarios involving switch_to_blog(). (#96)
  • No longer relies solely on the DOMAIN_MAPPING constant, set when a request is processed through a primary domain.
  • Essentially, if the website handling the request is being viewed through its primary domain, then URLs within a switch_to_blog() context will be mapped if applicable (i.e. the blog switched to has an active primary domain).
  • And vice-versa - if a request is through the admin domain ("unmapped"), then URLs in the switch_to_blog() context will be unmapped as well (to prevent cross-domain compatibility issues / warnings in browsers).
• Fixed an issue where setting and unsetting the Primary Domain would update the database only, and not the cache. (#94)
  • DarkMatter_Domains now handles the cache state for both primary and general domain caches.
  • Also removes some duplicate database update logic.
  • The third parameter of action hooks darkmatter_primary_set and darkmatter_primary_unset is now deprecated. It is always true as the database is always updated now, therefore it is redundant.
• Domains are now ordered alphabetically - A to Z - when returned by get_domains_by_type(). (#95)
• Fixed a typo preventing the cache retrieval for Restricted Domains working properly. (#89)
• Fixed a malformed header for the 2.2.3 release in readme.txt file.
• First iteration of unit tests added to the project to improve quality assurance of this release and future releases. (#88)
  • Uses PHP Unit and based on the setup provided by the WP CLI scaffold.
  • Issues / fixes in this release were found by the new unit tests.
  • Unit tests are not included with the release version of the plugin, and are accessible via Github repository: https://github.com/cameronterry/dark-matter/
• Updated NPM dependencies to their latest versions.
• Tested with WordPress 6.0 RC1.
• We have incorporated Snyk scanning for dependencies in Composer and NPM. (#76)
