As I have announced before, GD bbPress Toolbox Pro, major version 7.0 will be released in about two months, and right now, the provisional release window is set for the middle of July 2022, with the Beta version dropping a few weeks before.
he brand new version of the BreadcrumbsPress plugin is coming out soon, and it will get a major 4.0 version number and will include blocks for the block editor, improved styling and rendering, and much more.
Now that version 6.0 has been released, I would like to talk a bit more about plans for the plugin that will cover this and next year (hopefully, most of this can be done this year, but it is hard to promise something like that).
The plugin release is scheduled for February 9, but, due to the number of changes this version contains, it is a good idea to do a short Beta test and see if anyone else reports some issues with the plugin, and maybe add some more fixes into a stable release.
The work is ongoing on the development for the GD Content Tools Pro 6.0, with the preliminary release date set to February 9, 2022. The new version is a big step forward, and preparation for even more changes coming in the future.
GD Rating System Pro was first released in 2015. Since then, the plugin codebase has grown significantly, and it includes a number of addon plugins. And, this year, this plugin and all its addons will get a full code remake to take advantage of the modernized PHP code.
ery once in a while, I am evaluating the development setup used to develop plugins, and make adjustments based on the latest versions of WordPress, PHP, MySQL, and other technologies important to the process.
There are 4 months remaining in 2021, and with the major new website version available today, with a lot of other work already done for various plugins, it is the right time to make the announcement about development plans for the rest of this year.
