Vagrant box seravo/wordpress 20201205.0.0

Serial port output during boot has been disabled to improve VirtualBox 6.1 compatibility.

Vagrant box seravo/wordpress 20201127.0.0

PHP version 8.0 is now available. Note that this is only for testing and *we do not recommend PHP 8 for production use yet**. Currently the best advice is to use PHP 7.4 on all sites where the plugin and theme code support it, and ensure that when running with PHP 7.4 there should not be notifications or warnings emitted in /data/log/php-error.log, as many of those warnings will be fatal errors in PHP 8.
Command wp-php-compatibility-check renamed to wp-check-php-compatibility and usage changed for better developer experience. Now supports running with --php 8.0 but still defaults to PHP 7.4.
New command wp-watch-php to make it easier to see specifically PHP errors as they happend.
New command wp-test-whitelist to help listing, adding and deleting wp-test visible errors that are safe to ignore (e.g. plugin JavaScript warnings that don’t really affect the site)
Ensure all Seravo commands support the --help argument for quick access to instructions on how to use the command in question
The man pages for all Seravo commands have been revised and extended.
Fix wp-pull-production-core to not fail on locales that were not found
Improved wp-fix-project to have better developer experience and make it easier to apply changes in the project template on an existing project
Include PHPUnit 7.5 (which is WordPress compatible) by default in the local development environment so developers don’t need to install it themselves manually. Also introduce a new command convert that is compatible with GraphicsMagic (and not just ImageMagick). New command catimg can be used to view images directly on the command-line.
Upgrade MariaDB to version 10.5
Upgrade jpegoptim to 1.4.6 and optipng to 0.7.7
Many minor version upgrades across the box, e.g the headless Chrome updated to version 87
This is the last release to still include Composer 1.x series by default, and also the last release to be built with VirtualBox 5.2.

Vagrant box seravo/wordpress 20200707.0.0

Many minor version upgrades across the box, e.g the headless Chrome updated to version 83
Tools such as Adminer, Mailcatcher and Webgrind now all run under /.seravo/, e.g. https://wordpress.local/.seravo/mailcatcher/. This unifies the address at which the services are available in Vagrant, Docker, staging shadows and in production.
In the wp-test system the Seravo Codeception library had getWPSiteURL() renamed into getWPURL() to clarify that it is not the WordPress siteurl value but actually the home value, which always tell what is tha front page of the WordPress site.
PHP 5.6 is no longer available. If you need PHP 5.6, use the previous Vagrant box v20200130.0.0 or the Docker image tagged with -last-with-php5.
To align local development environment with production and shadow environment capabilities, the GCC compiler has been removed. In rare cases some NodeJS modules cannot be built anymore, but it should not be an issue since npm should always install pre-build modules as long as the package.json contents is up-to-date with recent NodeJS versions and module versions. If Gulp or node-sass fails to install, please check that your package.json is recent enough (compare to Seravo/WordPress template) or run wp-fix-project.

Many new commands:
- Improved wp-pull-production-db that is also capable of doing an automatic rename of the main site in a WordPress Network installation. Subdomain renames still need to be taken care manually by the developer, e.g. using a small custom rename script. Network users will also enjoy the handy wp-network-status which will describe the state of a WordPress Network install and help to quickly identify mismatches in config files and database.
- New commands wp-pull-production-plugins and wp-pull-production-themes for automating bootstrapping a local development environment for sites that don’t have a custom composer.json already set up.
- New command wp-fix-project to help update and compare base project files to those of the upstream Seravo/WordPress project template.
- New command wp-remote-db exposes the MariaDB database to be accessible outside the virtual machine for developers who want to use database management tools on their own machine.
A long list of small bug fixes and minor updates, including getting rid of the annoying extra htdocs/htdocs symlink.
