I hope you’re having a great summer (or winter if you’re in the lower half of the globe)! It’s been a relaxing July for me, and is a welcome change of pace after the 10 releases Gravity PDF had in June. That’s not to say I’ve been doing nothing. There are two releases this month, and I’m currently working on a How To article all about automating invoices with Gravity PDF. That should land in August (provided I can get it past the Editor-in-chief in a timely manner). But that’s enough rambling from me. 😄 Let me show you what’s new this month.
Gravity PDF 6.11 landed just before the mid-July WordPress 6.6 release, and is fully-compatible with the newest version of WordPress. On top of this, we’ve made improvements to the admin error notices used in Core.
To reduce our footprint, outside of Gravity Forms pages the minimum system requirement errors will only be displayed on the Dashboard, Plugins List, and Settings (General) WordPress admin pages. For users who don’t have appropriate plugin permissions, they are now shown a generic error informing them to contact the site administrator to fix the problem. It’s our small, yet important, contribution to notice fatigue in the admin area.
The 6.11 release also included a bunch of preventative maintenance that you’ll probably never notice. Self-healing was added to specific actions if unexpected data is received, additional input sanitation is being done on certain PDF settings, and admin error notices are now translatable.
The 6.11.1 release was rolled out a week later to fix a regression in the PDF Background Processing feature. Disabled Notification emails with PDF attachments were unwittingly being sent, and this update fixed the bug. Big thanks to the user who reported this problem. Unfortunately the email supplied in their support ticket was misspelled and we couldn’t reply back. So if you are reading this unnamed user (you know who you are) we hope you’ve upgraded to the new version and fixed your issue. 💯
