What’s New in 1.4.0

Changes include:

• DID manager integration (#465)
• Re-architected Updater Class into a registry, so it will only be instantiated once instead of per plugin or theme thus limiting the number of hooks fired (#428, fixing #427)
• Hardened hash validation when there’s no valid hash (#436, #437)
• Adapted Browse Happy flow, preventing false positives. (#447, fixing #239)
