Municipio 4.2.4

We are excited to announce the release of Municipio 4.2.4. This update has been rigorously tested for full compatibility with PHP 8.3, which we now recommend as the preferred PHP version for Municipio.

By upgrading to PHP 8.3 from the previously recommended PHP 8.2, you can experience up to a 40% faster page load time when the object cache is primed.

General:

• The devcontainer now runs PHP 8.3, in order to reflect modern hosting environments and new default requirements for Municipo (we are still backwards compatible with PHP 8.2).

Municipio Theme (5.11.3): 

• The related posts functionality is now simplified. It only searches in the current post type, and also includes a rand in the query to get more diverse results.
• Implements basic view transitions by default. Out intention is to further explore this in the coming months to improve the user expericence.
• Adds a new header type: Flexbile. This header aims to replace the old ”Business” and ”Casual” headers by providing a drag and drop interface to build your own header layout.
• A bug has been fixed that displayed post content on draft, or private pages even if the header response was sent as 404.
• Resolves an issue where Kirki CSS rendering would stop functioning after applying new settings.
