Release notes

Added

  • Optional prerelease visibility policies: include all, stable only, or hide a prerelease only while its matching final WordPress entry is published.
  • Protected GitHub prerelease, normalized version-line, supersession, creation-date, and publication-date metadata.
  • Configurable canonical chronology using GitHub publication time or the tagged commit date.
  • A dry-run-first WP-CLI command to classify existing releases and reconcile prerelease-to-final relationships.
  • A public, opt-in historical GitHub Release generator that inventories missing stable tags and extracts versioned notes before any draft or publish operation.

Changed

  • Release synchronization now sends GitHub’s explicit prerelease flag and both exact timestamps.
  • Public timeline, recent-release, year-filter, and adjacent-release queries honor the selected prerelease policy without deleting or rewriting prerelease content.
