Here are the highlights from this release:
Notable changes since ClassicPress 1.4.1
- Update TinyMCE Visual editor to 4.9.11. This was achieved by reapplying the upgrade to TinyMCE 4.9.11, and thoroughly testing for breaking behaviour. Testing did reveal issues in handling Block and other comment containing content that will be addressed in a future release.
- Upgrade PHPMailer. PHPMailer has been updated through several versions to 6.6.3. It contains a minor adjustment which is backwards compatible with any code that calls the PHPMailer files directly. Unit tests have been introduce to ensure the adjustments remain in place on future updates.

ClassicPress 1.4.1
ClassicPress 1.4.1 is available now - use the "Source code (zip)" file below.
This is a bugfix release coming shortly after our large 1.4.0 release to fix a few issues:
- Make the TinyMCE Visual editor preserve paragraph tags correctly again. This was achieved by reverting the upgrade to TinyMCE 4.9.11, which will be re-introduced once it receives more testing.
- Fix fatal errors when sending emails using PHPMailer. Some plugins are using a non-standard way of loading PHPMailer and related classes, which broke when we upgraded the PHPMailer library to the latest version and we didn't catch this during testing. This was fixed by reverting the upgrade to PHPMailer.
- Fix error when loading the Theme Details dialog. This prevented users from performing various options related to the themes.

ClassicPress 1.3.1
ClassicPress 1.3.1 is available now - use the "Source code (zip)" file below.
Here are the highlights from this release:
Bugs fixed since 1.3.0
-
Remove an expired Let's Encrypt certificate from the list of certificates that ClassicPress maintains (#814, thanks to WP contributors who originally submitted this change there). This helps resolve issues with ClassicPress sites being unable to communicate with the ClassicPress update server, but in some cases, server configuration changes are also needed.
This is a complex issue, so we have also released a plugin that can help you to diagnose and fix problems with your site's server configuration related to this issue. If you cannot see the
1.3.1update from your site's dashboard after going to Dashboard > Updates and clicking the Check Again button, then we recommend installing this plugin: https://github.com/ClassicPress-research/cp-ssl-fix -
Fix duplicated sections in media modal (#801, thanks @mattyrob). This was a cosmetic issue that was accidentally introduced along with one of the changes for version
1.3.0. -
Avoid notices when readding removed meta box in PHP 7.4 (#778, thanks @mattyrob). This fixes a remaining infrequent issue with PHP 7.4 compatibility (possible, but unlikely to be seen on production sites).

ClassicPress 1.3.0
ClassicPress 1.3.0 is available now - use the "Source code (zip)" file below.
This release focuses on improving Accessibility in ClassicPress. Accessibility is a key focus for ClassicPress and we will continue to make improvements. We’re happy with these changes so far but they need more testing by the community before a full release including automatic updates.
This release also includes all recent WordPress security fixes. These fixes are best understood as "hardening" - we are not aware of any directly exploitable vulnerabilities in ClassicPress. If you have any questions about this or any security issues to report, as always, please practice responsible disclosure and contact security@classicpress.net.
