XML Cache v2.1.0

Highlights

This release brings major new features, including multilingual support, an admin bar integration, WP-CLI commands, and a smarter cache that auto-regenerates on invalidation.

New Features

• Multilingual support for Polylang, WPML, and TranslatePress — all translated URLs are automatically included in the sitemap.
• Admin bar integration with flame icon, live URL count, and quick actions: Open Sitemap, Copy URL, and Clear Cache.
• WP-CLI commands: wp xml-cache status and wp xml-cache flush for managing the sitemap from the command line.
• Site Health debug info section showing sitemap URL, cache status, and all settings.
• Auto-regeneration: the sitemap automatically rebuilds whenever the cache is cleared — it's never empty.
• Cache statistics displayed on the admin settings page with URL count and cache status.
• 5 new URL types: categories, tags, archives, custom post types, and attachments — each toggleable in settings.
• Per-request throttling to prevent redundant cache invalidations.
• Cache invalidation on activation/deactivation to keep the sitemap in sync.

Improvements

• Responsive admin UI using container queries, pill-style stats badge, and unified button styling.
• Snackbar notifications fixed to the bottom-right corner.
• Removed Symfony DI — all services are now wired manually for a lighter footprint.
• Sitemap caching with no expiration via WordPress transients; includes lastmod timestamps.
• Meta box registered for all public post types (including attachments).

Maintenance

• Updated all npm dependencies to latest versions.
• Fixed all PHPCS violations and added direct file access protection to all PHP files.
• Added .distignore to exclude dev files from production builds.
• Simplified GitHub workflows using 10up deploy actions.
• Bumped minimum WordPress version to 6.4.
• Tested up to WordPress 7.0.

XML Cache 2.0.0

Highlights

• Custom Post Types: Add support for public CPTs, toggleable in settings.
• Sitemap: Refined URL collection and pagination; category/tag/archive/blog/front-page pagination aligned with permalink structure.
• Admin UI: Refactored settings screen; copy sitemap URL action; improved UX and error handling.
• Code quality: Major WPCS compliance (docblocks, sanitization/escaping, Yoda conditions); standardized strict_types formatting.
• Architecture: Migrated to Composer with PSR-4 under src; introduced Symfony DI/Config; normalized API namespace casing (V1).
• CI/CD: Added WordPress.org deploy workflow and plugin assets.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.0+
• PHP 8.2+ (due to Symfony 7.x dependencies)

Upgrade notes

• PHP 8.2 is now required.
• New setting custom_post_types_enabled defaults to enabled; adjust under Settings → XML Cache if you don’t want CPTs included.
