Plugin Description
UPDATE: This feature plugin was merged in WordPress Core on August 11, 2020, with WordPress 5.6.
The purpose of this plugin is to prepare a future Plugins & Themes automatic updates feature.
Please note that the code of this plugin is not meant to land in WordPress Core “as it is”, its code will be completely reworked for core merge. This plugin is meant to discuss auto-updates principles and user interface.
In 2018, Matt Mullenweg posted 9 projects for Core to focus on in 2019. We didn’t ship as many as hoped, but we made a lot of progress. Plugins and Themes Automatic Updates were one of those 9 projects. This project is now milestoned to WordPress 5.5 and this feature plugin is here to help move towards this achievement.
For full details, see the Feature Plugin proposal published on Make/Core.
