Nov 1, 2024November 2024 focused on strengthening release readiness for WordPress 6.7 and improving image handling stability. Key work includes release-readiness activities: bumping bundled theme defaults for WordPress 6.7, updating About page visuals, and refreshing compatibility indicators (Tested up to, alpha/version) to ensure accurate signals for partners and users. A release asset fix was applied to include an image update previously missed for release assets (reference [59379]), ensuring visuals are consistent across the release. In parallel, the HEIC-to-JPEG pipeline was cleaned up by removing unnecessary dimension suffixes from full-size converted filenames, accompanied by unit tests covering default and customized settings. These efforts reduce release risk, improve user experience in media handling, and increase test coverage for future changes.
