20267 releases

  1. LiteSpeed Cache 7.9.3Latest

    • Object Cache Fixed repeated database queries when Memcached rejects oversized alloptions values. (Peter Wells #1076)
    • Core Moved uninstall handling to uninstall.php to avoid unnecessary option reads on normal requests. (Contributolo PR#1078)
    • Purge Added the litespeed_purged action for public purge tag additions. (Contributolo PR#1072)
    • Page Optimize Prioritized the front page in CCSS, UCSS, VPI and OptiMax queues and corrected queue capacity handling. (Faisal Ahammad PR#1064)
    • Guest Mode Fixed PHP 8.5 deprecation warnings in CIDR checks. (deltafactory PR#1080)
    • Conf Fixed WooCommerce option warnings with shared multisite settings. (lhero-org #1077, dassels43)
    • Page Optimize Kept CSS/JS optimization on pages with a very large inline style or script block that previously exceeded the PCRE limit and skipped optimization. (ventio, PR#1081)
    • Crawler Limited automatic HTTP fallback to connection failures during the Server IP HTTPS test. (unsetfocus #1074)
    • Core Fixed constant rewrites of the shared static folder .htaccess on subdirectory multisite. (#869638)
    • Purge Fixed excessive cache purges from non-public custom post types. (markhysted #1044, models118)
    • Purge Purge Post Type Archive now purges only the post type archive page (e.g. the Shop page), instead of also purging every post of that type. (John-belt #310, models118)
    • Cloud Signed the QUIC.cloud link request.
    • Cloud Cleared the stored main domain when the QUIC.cloud registration is reset, so a deactivated site no longer reports itself as an alias of an old domain.
    • Heartbeat Kept the configured interval on post lists and editors. (#1082)
    • 3rd Perfmatters script manager no longer disables ESI site-wide; it is now skipped only on ESI requests. (VIP PR#1055)
    • Cache Fixed mobile cache vary detection behind LiteSpeed ADC on Apache origins. (PR#1088)
    • VPI Preloaded responsive VPI images with their srcset and sizes, so the browser fetches the same candidate the page renders. (PR#1089)

  2. LiteSpeed Cache 7.9.2

    • Image Optimize Fixed thumbnails skipped for images in the uploads root. (AsFLY-902 PR#1059)
    • Cloud Retry credit sync after one hour when credit is exhausted.
    • Cache URI rules like Do Not Cache URIs now ignore a leading or trailing *, so /wp-json/mcp/* matches the same as /wp-json/mcp/. (#1040)
    • Page Optimize Protected HTML boundaries during resource rewriting, insertion and minification. Hardened delayed-script globals, preserved pages on parsing errors, and corrected Deferred ordering. Removed JS Delayed Includes and its public filter; global Delayed mode remains available. Improved Inst…
    • Media Corrected next-gen image variants, lazy-load priorities and VPI markup, and protected quoted content, raw text and noscript fallbacks. Validated LQIP and avatar paths, and made remote dimension checks opt-in.
    • Cache Hardened visitor isolation, vary cookies, Guest Mode and cache-control permissions, including Force Public safeguards for private and authenticated responses. Corrected ignored query strings, exclusions and purge scheduling, and restricted shared-cache management to network administrators. (I…
    • Image Optimize Corrected callback accounting, duplicate detection, scan cursors and metadata handling. Preserved offload hooks and reported failed clean/reset writes.
    • Conf Protected site identity and shared multisite settings, moved runtime configuration to a PHP-protected file, and improved import validation and .htaccess updates. Synchronized shared Guest settings and preserved runtime overrides during upgrades. Shared multisite settings now require network ac…
    • Presets Prevented path traversal, isolated backups by site in protected PHP files, excluded secrets from new backups, and added a legacy-backup cleanup reminder.
    • Object Cache Corrected Add/Replace conditions, forced reads, Redis/Memcached connections, timeouts, TTLs and flush results. Improved drop-in cleanup and disabled status, preserved runtime fallback, and removed the unused lifetime field. Isolated cache keys per installation.
    • ESI Hardened request signatures and cleanup markers, made WooCommerce nonce fragments private by default, and preserved shortcode attributes. Clarified private-content requirements.
    • Cloud Restricted service nodes to trusted QUIC.cloud origins and preserved replay protection. Corrected nonce parsing, site throttling and dashboard data, escaped free-text notices, and restricted news/dashboard markup.
    • CDN Prevented HTML injection during inline CSS URL rewriting, validated mapping URLs, and preserved Cloudflare zones after failed lookups. (nathaningram)
    • Crawler Restricted sitemap origins and role simulation, hardened hash checks, and corrected mobile/Guest variants and request isolation. Preserved successful child sitemaps and the previous map on total failure. (#866256)
    • CLI Corrected local and multisite URL purges, required HTTPS imports, validated blog IDs, preserved nested option values, and limited sync output to usage data.
    • Database Optimize Scoped table operations to the site’s table prefix and safely quoted identifiers. Preserved recent auto drafts, bounded cleanup, invalidated caches, added confirmations, and reported cleanup and conversion failures. Restricted multisite management to network administrators.
    • Debug Restricted beta packages to trusted sources, protected logs, and redacted credentials from logs, reports and page comments while preserving useful diagnostics. Removed the default trusted loopback IP.
    • Task Isolated asynchronous tokens by job type, used constant-time validation, and excluded tokens from logs.
    • Purge Corrected unpublished-post and empty-archive purges, preserved encoded paths, and prevented site cron from flushing shared backends.
    • 3rd Corrected WooCommerce and NextGEN purges, protected unvaried cart responses, and validated bulk-edit and WCML settings permissions.
    • 3rd WCML: guests in the shop currency now use the default cache, and the crawler warms it. (#1057)
    • Core Hardened file writes, admin output and static asset headers, replaced React and Babel with plain jQuery/JavaScript forms, and improved installation, upgrade and uninstall handling.
    • Localization Validated resource patterns while preserving comments, limited remote JavaScript downloads to 10 seconds, cleaned failed downloads, and restored HTTPS fallback redirects.

  3. LiteSpeed Cache 7.9.1

    • Core Aligned the runtime PHP and WordPress guards with the published minimum requirements.
    • ESI Prevented Guest Mode pages from creating ESI subrequests when an integration registered its ESI hooks before Guest Mode detection.
    • ESI Bound ESI execution to the signed query payload so POST parameters cannot replace validated block data.
    • Image Optimize Fixed a fatal error when the WordPress HTTP fallback could not download an image.
    • Image Optimize The image optimization callback is now verified by a QUIC.cloud signature instead of the source IP address, and every notified download location is validated before use.
    • Image Optimize Successful callback retries now ignore rows already returned to the raw queue without blocking other live rows in the same batch.
    • Image Optimize An image whose queued file can no longer be verified against its attachment is now dropped instead of being sent back for optimization, so it can no longer request optimization again on every cron run.
    • Image Optimize Bounded and expired pending image-completion notifications without keeping the image pull cron running indefinitely.
    • Image Optimize Optimized image downloads now use the WordPress safe HTTP API, refuse redirects, and validate each response before publication.
    • Image Optimize Image pull notices now distinguish download, remote-service, and local-save failures.
    • Cache Do Not Cache, Private Cached, Force Cache, Optimization and Lazy Load URI rules now compare the same query string against both spellings of a REST route, so a rule naming a query argument, or anchored to an exact address, applies to plain-permalink sites the same way it does elsewhere.
    • Optimization Remote images, avatars, localized JavaScript, CSS/JS cache files, and Guest Mode lists now share bounded streamed downloads and atomic file publication.
    • VPI Fixed queue-key collisions on plain-permalink sites and enforced the configured queue limit.
    • Cloud Every QUIC.cloud callback — CDN status, error domains, IP validation and ping — is now verified by a QUIC.cloud signature rather than by the source IP address, and the source IP allow list has been removed. Activation, echo, account-link and CDN-enable signatures are now bound to their purpos…
    • Cloud Added stable callback error codes so QUIC.cloud can distinguish retryable timestamp, storage and replay-cache-capacity failures from terminal authorization failures.
    • REST Removed the legacy check_img diagnostic endpoint.
    • API Removed the litespeed_is_from_cloud filter. Each callback is now authorized by its own signature instead of by a request-wide flag.
    • API Added the litespeed_static_dir_htaccess filter so hosts can remove unsupported directives from the generated static-directory protection file. (vvvllll #1043)
    • Avatar Prevented failed on-demand avatar downloads from redirecting visitors to the WordPress admin area.

  4. LiteSpeed Cache 7.9

    • Cloud Changed Health service to run asynchronously, resuming through WP cron when the cloud defers the request.

    • Page Optimize Fixed JS Combine corrupting URLs inside template literals. (mschroettle #981)
    • Page Optimize Fixed CSS Combine serving unstyled pages when the placeholder link tag uses default WordPress whitespace. (Faisal Ahammad #999 PR#1002)
    • Page Optimize Resolved WP 7.0 HTML attribute parse compatibility for Font Display setting. (PR#1017)
    • Image Optimize Skipped sending queued images from the queue when their optimized files already exist. (terratag)
    • Image Optimize Dropped legacy image_optm table.
    • Crawler Blacklisted a URL after 3 consecutive failures instead of the first one. (Ryan D)
    • ESI Fixed ESI nonce generation for actions with custom nonce lifetimes. (Robert Staddon PR#1006)
    • ESI Fixed duplicate comment form appearing alongside its ESI block on non-optimized pages.
    • ESI Bypassed comment for silent blocks that fail _hash validation. (Robert Staddon PR#1008)
    • VPI Added fetchpriority=high to VPI preload links. (Maciej Mroziński PR#993)

    • Toolbox Delayed report submission to finish 3rd party conf injection.
    • GUI Dropped redundant menu from WP admin Settings page.

  7. LiteSpeed Cache 7.8

    • Cloud Changed Health service to run asynchronously.
    • Object Cache Dropped Store Transients option. Transients now always use Object Cache when available, preventing potential database bloat from expired transients not being cleared. (ravanh)
    • Media Added extension check for WebP/AVIF replacement efficiency – only processes jpg/jpeg/png/gif, skips svg/ico/bmp etc.
    • Media Added WebP/AVIF support for macOS Safari >= 16.4. (PR#948)
    • Media Fixed pie chart not displaying in media library.

    • Image Optimize Fixed reset single image not deleting records from img_optm and img_optming database tables.
