20263 releases

  1. Publish To Apple News 2.9.1Latest

    • Security: Hardens authorization and CSRF protection on admin actions and REST endpoints. Props to @ffffelix for reporting the issue.

  2. Publish To Apple News 2.9.0

    • Breaking Change: Drops support for PHP version 8.2. The minimum required PHP version is now 8.3.
    • Bugfix: Fixes an issue with X embeds in WordPress 7+, where the Twitter embed block was renamed to the X embed block and X embeds were being converted into “generic” embeds (which link back to the original article) rather than a proper Twitter/X embed component in Apple News.

  3. Publish To Apple News 2.8.0

    • Breaking Change: Drops support for EOL PHP versions (8.0, 8.1). The minimum required PHP version is now 8.2.
    • Enhancement: Adds a new filter, apple_news_embed_web_video_link, to filter the final video URL for an Embed Web Video component. Props to @dphiffer for the enhancement.
    • Bugfix: Fixes a conflict with the Yoast Video SEO plugin where videos that are lazy loaded weren’t being properly converted to video elements in the Apple News output (e.g., YouTube).

20255 releases

  1. Publish To Apple News 2.7.2

    • Enhancement: Now shows up to 50 suggestions for terms in Automation settings, rather than just 10. Props to @aurooba for the fix.
    • Bugfix: Resolves an issue where the date in the standalone “Date” component had the UTC offset applied to it twice, causing the date and time to be off by the value of the UTC offset (e.g., a post published at 12:00 PM EDT would incorrectly appear as 8:00 AM EDT). Props to @naxoc for the fix.
    • Bugfix: Resolves a warning being thrown when block editor assets are being enqueued and the plugin settings haven’t been loaded. Props to @s3rgiosan for the fix.
    • Bugfix: The logic for whether the plugin should update postmeta by comparing the old value to the new now compares the raw value from the database instead of the filtered value, which now accurately accounts for default postmeta values. Props to @dlh01 for the fix.

  2. Publish To Apple News 2.7.1

    • Changed: Removed the requirement that recipe HTML contains the exact name of the recipe given in the corresponding JSON-LD item.
    • Bugfix: Fixed an issue where an error would occur when attempting to publish posts containing VideoPress embedded videos.
    • Bugfix: Fixed an issue where JSON-LD Recipe items would not be detected when they were part of JSON-LD arrays.

  3. Publish To Apple News 2.7.0

    • Enhancement: Add support for the Apple News Recipe component. Please visit our wiki for detailed documentation.
    • Enhancement: Add “Cover Media” options, expanding on existing “Cover Image” feature, allowing YouTube or other videos to display in the Cover component.

    • Enhancement: Allow article deletions with Bulk Actions.
    • Enhancement: Move section mapping to its own table in the Automation settings for easier management.

  4. Publish To Apple News 2.6.3

    • Bugfix: Fixed an issue where the deletion of a post’s autosave could cause the Apple News article for that post to be deleted.

  5. Publish To Apple News 2.6.2

    • Enhancement: i18n – Remove load_plugin_textdomain. Since WordPress 4.6, plugins no longer need to load their own textdomain.
    • Enhancement: i18n – Moved some plugin initialization code to the init action hook.
    • Enhancement: Add license to plugin header.
    • Bugfix: i18n – Fixed the _load_textdomain_just_in_time error with WordPress 6.7.

    • Bugfix: Update plugin name in plugin header.

202410 releases

    • Enhancement: REST Endpoints actually return a WP_Error if Apple News is not initialized.
    • Bugfix: Fixed an issue where a root-relative image URL used the URL to the WordPress installation instead of the URL to the front-end, which WordPress allows admins to configure to be different URLs.
    • Bugfix: API Settings: fixed an issue where the latest value was not rendered after an update.

  3. Publish To Apple News 2.5.1

    • Bugfix: Fixed an issue where the plugin would crash if the Apple News API returned an error when fetching information about the configured channel. Now surfaces an admin notice with the error message instead.

    • Enhancement: Added debugging for Apple News API requests.
    • Bugfix: Fixed an issue where a channel that was set to paid by default required every article to also be marked as paid, rather than accepting the channel default.
    • Bugfix: Fixed an issue where images that were hyperlinked and aligned to the left or the right would not properly display in Apple News.
    • Bugfix: Fixed an issue with a bad path for file inclusion that was causing a crash on some systems.
    • Bugfix: Fixed an issue where including a Cover block with a caption would cause an error on publish.
    • Bugfix: Fixed an issue where editing a synced pattern (formerly known as a reusable block) would cause an error in the editor. Props to @kasparsd for the fix.
    • Bugfix: Fixed an issue where posts missing custom excerpts would show the publish date and time as the excerpt instead of an autogenerated excerpt based on post content.
    • Information on previous releases can be found on the plugin’s GitHub Releases page.
