    • Bug Fixes
    • release: release script no longer crashes mid-run updating readme.txt (#3916)

  13. WPGraphQL IDE 5.0.0

    • Breaking changes
    • IDE UI rebuilt on @wordpress/components + @wordpress/data + CodeMirror 6. Legacy GraphiQL wrapper removed.
    • Saved-document storage moved to WPGraphQL Smart Cache’s graphql_document post type. The IDE-owned graphql_ide_query post type, graphql_ide_collection taxonomy, and Document-Settings taxonomies are removed. Saved Queries / Document Settings / share links require Smart Cache to be active.
    • GraphQL types IdeQuery, IdeQueries, IdeCollection, IdeCollections removed. Use graphqlDocument / graphqlDocumentGroup (from Smart Cache) instead.
    • REST routes removed: /wpgraphql-ide/v1/documents/:id/publish and /wpgraphql-ide/v1/documents/collections/:id. The publish flow is now a standard POST /wp/v2/graphql_document/:id; cascade-delete is client-side.
    • wpgraphql_ide_capability_required filter now consulted at every IDE permission check — REST callbacks, post-type / taxonomy capability maps, meta auth, admin menu, public-endpoint flag. Hosts overriding the cap to a different value will now find their override honored end-to-end (previously only th…
    • Legacy graphiql_* hook aliases dropped (enqueue_graphiql_extension, graphiql_external_fragments, graphiql_rendered, graphiql_toolbar_before_buttons, graphiql_toolbar_after_buttons). Use the canonical wpgraphql_ide_* / wpgraphql-ide.* names.
    • New features
    • Three render modes — dedicated admin page, slide-up drawer (from the admin bar, on any wp-admin or front-end page), and an opt-in public IDE at the GraphQL endpoint URL.
    • Smart Cache integration via SmartCacheBridge. GraphQL fields variables and headers added to GraphqlDocument (read + Create/Update inputs) for execution context.
    • Schema-typed data layer. Document and collection CRUD inside the IDE run through WPGraphQL via the bundled gql() client. REST remains for user preferences, the aggregated documentSettings readback field, and bulk import/export/reorder. Execution history is browser-local.
    • Full internationalization. Every UI string passes through @wordpress/i18n with the wpgraphql-ide text domain.
    • Auto-upgrade from 4.x. Open tabs (graphiql:tabState) and query history (graphiql:queries) saved by the legacy GraphiQL UI migrate forward on first 5.0 load; legacy localStorage keys are cleared.
    • Anonymous history on the public endpoint. Visitors without a logged-in session get a browser-local history bucket (capped at 100, newest first), mirroring the 4.x GraphiQL behavior.
    • wpgraphql_ide_external_fragments filter restored with smarter merge behavior — only fragments referenced by the outgoing query are prepended, with transitive resolution between external fragments.
    • New extension API: registerPreference (typed device/user prefs), executeRequest / executeResponse filters, wpgraphql-ide.afterExecute action.
    • New autocomplete + hover popups render reliably above the slide-up drawer overlay.
