New Release: VIP CLI 2.9.5

The VIP CLI version 2.9.5 has been released. This release covers the following changes:

• VIP dev-environment
  • When the user starts a dev environment with: vip dev-env start , with a WordPress version that is not the most up-to-date, the prompt for upgrading will include the option for “don’t ask again”.
  • During the sequence of: vip dev-env create , the user will be given the option to include or exclude components such as: enterprise search, Xdebug, and PHPMyadmin. This has the effect of making the dev-env less resource intensive for those who don’t need to use those components.
  • The option, for users to select a PHP version, has been added also to the vip dev-env create sequence. Users can now select between PHP: 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, or select the “default” option, which will be the current PHP version of the platform.
• General use
  • We have made the WP-CLI integration more reliable for long-running commands.

Users can update to the new version, with the following command:

npm update -g @automattic/vip
