ProcessWire 3.0.255 – Core updates

[ryan]

Today I’ve merged the dev branch to the main/master branch in preparation for our next official tagged version, which is likely to be 3.0.255. I’ll likely git tag it with the version number early next week. This doesn’t mean that work on the next main/master version is complete. Just that no new issues have appeared that would warrant delaying it any longer. So while there’s still work to do, we’re also at a good point to start getting these updates on the main/master branch.  As before, if you run into any issues after upgrading, please report them in the processwire-issues repo. I’ll compile and post a list of all that’s new in 3.0.255+ relative to 3.0.246 within the next week or two so stay tuned. 

There have been some really nice sites showing up in our sites directory lately. Thank you for those that have been submitting new ProcessWire-powered sites, and please keep it up! It’s great to see such awesome web design and development work.

Forgive the possibly dumb question but what does this mean?

I notice that the .255 tag has already been added. Does this mean that .255 will receive changes after the tag has been added or that there will be another new master version coming soon?

I'm just deciding whether to upgrade my core PW site from .246 to .255 or to wait.

Thanks, I love this CMS and its community!

Ryan has already merged the code from the dev branch into main branch and setup a release page for 255. However, Ryan hasn‘t yet created a 255 release tag on the Github main branch. The Github tag typically follows in some days unless a serious show stopper is found. So if you want to be 100% sure, wait a couple of days until the 255 release tag is published on Github. Have used the previous dev version for two public projects for about 1 month now without any issues, so I don‘t expect big surprises at this state.
