v1.0.0-rc.9

LatestRelease Candidate
June 2, 2026

New

  • Expanded the Section Library with more ready-made sections and page kits: Aurora, a luminous dark editorial landing-page kit; Landscaping, an industry-focused set; and new Bakery sections for team profiles, testimonials, contact details, menu anchors, and matching Home/About/Contact page templates
  • Revamped the Section Library so the new section sets ship both Tailwind and plain-CSS variants and adapt to Theme Studio tokens out of the box
  • Added site-level form delivery settings with WordPress Connect integration, so generated contact forms can submit through Formspree, Web3Forms, or a connected WordPress site via the PhantomWP Connect plugin
  • Editor tabs now have a right-click context menu with Close, Close Others, Close to the Right, Close to the Left, and Close All

Improvements

  • Branch management now shows a visual production-and-drafts summary, including the main/live branch, draft branches, unpublished commit titles, and changed-file previews
  • The branch selector now stays visible next to Commit whenever a project has more than one branch, even when the main branch is selected
  • The main branch is always listed first in the branch selector, making the live-site baseline easier to find
  • Branch controls now support explicitly deleting draft branches without merging, with confirmation copy that explains whether the branch is removed locally, on GitHub, or both

Fixes

  • Fixed WordPress connect/sync for plain CSS projects so generated Astro config and package files no longer reintroduce Tailwind when Tailwind is not installed
  • Fixed plain CSS template generation paths, including AI-generated project creation and local re-scaffold, so Tailwind config files, Vite plugins, runtime imports, and Tailwind-only guidance are not emitted for CSS projects
  • Fixed WordPress connect restart timing by waiting for project files to be written before restarting Astro with the same service command used by the IDE
  • Fixed the generated local Docker command mounting a literal $HOME folder by double-quoting bind-mount paths so the shell expands $HOME (and $env:USERPROFILE on Windows) instead of single-quoting them
  • Fixed false "Cannot find module" editor warnings for valid imports such as @/config/forms.json by enabling JSON module imports and validating import paths against the project file tree, so genuine typos are still flagged

Developer

  • Managed workspace infrastructure now includes branch summary metadata in git-branches, including commits waiting to publish, production updates missing from drafts, recent commit titles, and changed-file names
  • Added regression coverage for CSS template output, WordPress connect restart/write ordering, AI-generated CSS project creation, and local re-scaffold style-strategy handling
  • Added an authoring guide for the Section Library documenting the one-section-per-file and dual Tailwind/CSS variant requirements

v1.0.0-rc.8

Release Candidate
May 24, 2026

Improvements

  • Component creation now supports .tsx React components alongside .astro components
  • Utility-file creation now supports .tsx files in src/lib and custom src/* folders
  • Custom folders under src/ now expose the utility-file creation flow while specialized folders keep their purpose-built create actions

Fixes

  • Fixed Monaco editor parsing and highlighting for .tsx files by preserving the real filename extension in editor model URIs
  • Fixed false editor diagnostics for generated TSX files by adding React JSX runtime typings to the browser-side TypeScript worker
  • Fixed DeepSeek, Kimi, and Z.ai BYOK tool chats by disabling provider-default thinking for affected OpenAI-compatible routes
  • Removed the extended-thinking toggle while PhantomWP's OpenAI-compatible tool runtime does not preserve provider-specific reasoning_content replay fields

v1.0.0-rc.7

Release Candidate
May 22, 2026

Improvements

  • Tailwind projects now use Tailwind v4's native container scale for generated section widths instead of overriding max-w-sm, max-w-md, max-w-lg, and max-w-xl
  • Plain CSS projects now share the same section-width token names as Tailwind projects, with generated components consuming --container-3xl, --container-5xl, --container-7xl, --container-prose, and --container-full
  • The generated Section component keeps the simple size="sm|md|lg|full" API while mapping those sizes to Tailwind-native widths
  • Theme Studio now exposes section/container widths using the Tailwind v4 --container-* vocabulary, with friendlier labels and searchable navigation
  • Theme Studio typography controls now support draggable font-size sliders alongside direct value inputs
  • Section library previews and AI styling guidance now understand the shared theme token vocabulary for both Tailwind and plain CSS projects

Fixes

  • Fixed generated plain-CSS templates so component styles are emitted directly in components without legacy BEM class rewriting
  • Fixed Tailwind max-w-* utilities being silently widened by project-defined --container-sm, --container-md, --container-lg, and --container-xl tokens
  • Fixed Theme Studio font-size slider formatting so integer pixel values like 20px no longer collapse to 2px
  • Fixed stale AI density test expectations and TypeScript compatibility issues uncovered by the RC verification pass

Developer

  • Updated Tailwind setup guidance to document reserved --spacing-* and --container-* namespaces more accurately
  • Expanded tests around Theme Studio token parsing/export, Token Designer CSS output, AI prompt vocabulary, section preview tokens, and minimal CSS template generation

v1.0.0-rc.6

Release Candidate
May 18, 2026

New

  • Cloudflare Workers deployment alongside Vercel, with deploy status, history, dashboard links, and setup guidance in the same deployment menu
  • AI assistant modes for Agent, Plan, and Ask, so you can choose between hands-on edits, planning, or read-only answers

  • Snapshot export and import for moving selected parts of a project between PhantomWP workspaces
  • A redesigned Theme Studio for colors, typography, type scale, brand logos, and live previewed theme changes

  • The preview inspector is easier to use, with better element actions, breadcrumbs, source navigation, and AI handoff
  • The Page Structure panel is more approachable for non-code users, with content fields, clearer labels, friendly styling actions, and a stable inspector layout
  • The Style panel now has a more cohesive visual treatment and works as the visual styling surface for both Tailwind and plain CSS projects
  • Theme Studio now writes theme output that matches the project's styling strategy and keeps the main Apply Theme action clear
  • WooCommerce projects now use PhantomWP Connect as the default backend path, keeping browser code away from WordPress secrets
  • Checkout, cart, coupon, variation, payment, and storefront error handling are clearer and more reliable
  • Dashboard project rows better communicate dev-machine, deployment, and local-runtime state
  • IDE notifications now appear in a bottom status bar and slim header banner instead of covering important buttons
  • PhantomWP Connect pairing is stricter and the old account/plugin API key surface has been removed in favor of project-scoped connections

Fixes

  • Fixed selected-element shortcuts for modifying with AI and closing inline prompts
  • Fixed generated plain-CSS projects and local runtime tests to use the new CSS styling strategy consistently
  • Fixed generated plain-CSS templates so component classes are emitted directly instead of relying on legacy BEM rewrite helpers
  • Fixed Theme Studio font mapping so body/content, headings, and code fonts apply to the correct elements

Developer

  • Managed Codespaces infrastructure updated to v1.23.0 and the local Docker development image updated to v1.17.2
  • Expanded automated coverage for AI modes, preview inspector context, deployment providers, Cloudflare setup, local Docker flows, WooCommerce generation, PhantomWP Connect pairing, and plugin cleanup
  • Added and updated docs for Cloudflare deployment, deployment troubleshooting, WooCommerce setup, and WooCommerce release readiness
  • Added the IDE notification routing layer used by the new status bar and header banner

v1.0.0-rc.5

Release Candidate

Improvements

  • Local Docker bind-mount commands now use slugified default folder names, shell-safe quoted mount paths, and OS-appropriate home-directory syntax for macOS/Linux and Windows PowerShell
  • Local Docker setup and dashboard modals now explain bind-mount cleanup more clearly, separating named-volume removal from local-folder workflows

Fixes

  • Fixed local Docker containers becoming unstartable after restart when bind-mounted Git pack files rejected recursive ownership changes on Docker Desktop filesystems
  • Fixed restart-time ownership repair following symlinks out of /app and changing external target ownership
  • Fixed bind-mount commands breaking for paths with spaces or quoted ~/... paths by normalizing to $HOME/... or $env:USERPROFILE\...
  • Fixed the dashboard's copied Docker removal command failing in older Windows PowerShell by removing the && command chain

v1.0.0-rc.4

Improvements

  • Revamped local AI setup with editable custom providers and editable user-defined models directly inside AI Settings, so local gateways no longer require delete-and-recreate workflows
  • Custom OpenAI-compatible provider configuration is now normalized and repaired more aggressively from browser-local storage, keeping local routing settings and model lists in sync
  • AI Settings now explicitly explains that local AI providers still require any non-empty placeholder API key for now, reducing setup confusion for Ollama/LM Studio-style endpoints

Fixes

  • Fixed inline AI requests not forwarding custom provider routing details like base URL and Chat Completions mode

v1.0.0-rc.2

Release Candidate

Improvements

  • Local Docker projects launched from phantomwp.com now check container readiness from the browser instead of the deployed server, so dashboard and create-flow status reflects the user’s actual local runtime
  • Dashboard cards now keep local runtime status fresh in the background with quieter rechecks, reducing false "Starting..." states
  • Local runtime security tightened with stricter origin validation for the IDE WebSocket server and owner-only exposure of local port mappings in the authenticated repo list

  • JWT visitor authentication in the connector plugin with short-lived, capability-restricted tokens that cannot exercise destructive WordPress capabilities even if stolen, and are auto-invalidated on role/email/password changes and user deletion

  • Project creation now checks name collisions earlier in the UI and prevents duplicate projects for the same WordPress site on the server
  • Expanded account and plugin tooling with API key management, GitHub auth-method controls, and better WordPress connect/bootstrap support
  • Added a stronger PhantomWP custom coding harness for local/cloud runtimes, including command-policy enforcement, safer file operations, and runtime compatibility hardening
