# Changelog

<Update label="v0.6.3" description="Patch">

  - Update screenshot.
  - Add contributing guidelines.
</Update>

<Update label="v0.6.2" description="Patch">
  - Fix: store `.gitignore` as `gitignore_template` since npm never includes `.gitignore` in published packages.
</Update>

<Update label="v0.6.1" description="Patch">
  - Fix: add `.npmignore` so npm includes `.gitignore` and other dot files in the published package.
  - Simplify installer to copy files directly to final paths, removing all flat-copy-then-rename logic.
</Update>

<Update label="v0.6.0" description="Minor Release">
  - Update WordPress to 6.9, PHP to 8.5, and Xdebug to 3.5.1.
  - Update dependencies.
  - Replace GitHub downloads with local file copies in installer, removing `download` and `execa` dependencies.
  - Replace `chalk` and `prompts` with native ANSI codes and Node's `readline`, reducing installer dependencies from 100+ to 18 packages.
  - Export and export:backup scripts now auto-stop Docker containers when the stack was not already running, while preserving the correct exit code.
  - Resolve wordpress-chmod race condition by adding a healthcheck to the WordPress service.
  - Fix nginx 400 Bad Request error by increasing `large_client_header_buffers`.
  - Remove obsolete `version` key from docker-compose.yml and add default for `THEME_NAME`.
  - Remove missing `package-lock.json` from Dockerfile-nodejs COPY.
  - Add Docker availability check with colored error message before running Docker commands.
  - Add Doccupine to installer output and README with referral links.
  - Add CLAUDE.md for Claude Code guidance.
  - Reformat CHANGELOG to follow Conventional Commits.
</Update>

<Update label="v0.5.0" description="Major Release">
  - Updated the default theme, replacing PHP templates with HTML and modern block-based markup. Learn more about block-based themes [here](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/explanations/architecture/key-concepts/).
  - Added code formatters: PHP CS Fixer for PHP code consistency and Prettier for HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
  - Added `USE_POLLING` environment variable to enable file watcher polling as needed.
  - Enhanced build tasks so deleted files are automatically removed. Also resolved an issue where new images or fonts weren't being detected by the watch task.
  - Replaced `cssnano` with `gulp-clean-css` for improved CSS optimization.
  - Update PHP to 8.3.
  - Update default theme.
</Update>

<Update label="v0.4.0" description="Major Release">
  A new major release simplifies WordPressify even further. Removes Node.js as a global dependency, leaving Docker as the only main dependency. This allows WordPressify to run cross-platform without changing anything.

  - `npm run dev` replaced with `npm run start` or `docker compose up`
  - `npm run env:rebuild` replaced with `npm run rebuild` or `docker compose down -v`, then `docker compose build`
  - `npm run prod` replaced with `npm run export` or `docker compose run --rm nodejs npm run prod`
  - `npm run backup` replaced with `npm run export:backup` or `docker compose run --rm nodejs npm run backup`
  - `npm run lint:css` replaced with `npm run lintcss` or `docker compose run --rm nodejs npm run lint:css`
  - Update documentation and website.
  - Fix Windows build.
  - Fix Linux Docker permissions.
  - Fix Browsersync proxy server while using `wp-admin`.
