Highlights
- README now points to the demo plugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. (#648, @psykro): adds a note telling developers where to find the demo code plugin for trying out the feature.
- Big dependency catch-up: 23 Dependabot PRs merged, with support from @masteradhoc, including a grouped update of 37
@wordpress/*packages (#598). Another 17 stale Dependabot PRs were closed without merging (usually because a newer version replaced them). - Strong contributor pipeline: open PRs now cover the REST API The REST API is an acronym for the RESTful Application Program Interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data. It is how the front end of an application (think “phone app” or “website”) can communicate with the data store (think “database” or “file system”)
https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/ (GET, POST, and DELETE on notifications), a schema v2 with a design write-up, user-scoped repositories, UTC date handling, and npm script fixes.
