Woocommerce on April 4th released the re-version of Woocommerce 2.7 as Woocommerce 3.0.0 following its earlier notification of the same.
The company in its March 13, 2017 blogpost admitted to having found a critical bug in the way system handles timestamps. With internal discussions, company decided to opt SemVer (Semantic Versioning) nomenclature, and on the lines of WordPress, re-versioned it as Woocommerce 3.0.0.
3.0.0 RC, which should be tagged later in the week, will be very similar to 2.7 RC 1 with the addition of several fixes and these important changes;
- The versioning and @since properties will be relabeled to Woocommerce 3.0.0. If you have used version_compare statements in your code, they will still work since Woocommerce 3.0.0 is greater than 2.7.0 ? You can change these for clarity however.
- There will be a resolution to this critical timezone/timestamp issue which we want to resolve before release. This changes the return type of get_date_x type methods from integer to DateTime and so will need to be handled in extensions if those getters have been implemented already from the 2.7 RC.
- Themes with 2.7.0 versioned template files may need to update those to 3.0.0 versions to prevent reports of outdated template files.3.0.0 RC, which should be tagged later in the week, will be very similar to 2.7 RC 1 with the addition of several fixes and these important changes;
