Updates

Release process, stability rules, and how updates are delivered.

BrenWP plugins are built for production sites. Updates focus on stability, security, and predictable behavior. We avoid breaking changes whenever possible and document everything clearly.

1. Free vs Pro updates

  • Free: receives updates via standard WordPress update channels (where applicable).
  • Pro: receives updates during the active license term (and may use a separate delivery method depending on your setup).

2. What we release

  • Security fixes: shipped with priority.
  • Compatibility updates: WordPress/PHP/WooCommerce changes.
  • Performance improvements: reduced overhead, better CWV outcomes where relevant.
  • Feature additions: typically Pro-first when advanced functionality is involved.

3. Backward compatibility

We treat backward compatibility as a feature. When a change might affect behavior, we document it and provide migration notes.

4. Best practices

  • Test on staging before production.
  • Keep WordPress and PHP updated to supported versions.
  • Review the changelog before major updates.
