What to Expect from the Woo Developer Newsletter
At WooCommerce, our core team oversees every feature included in the WooCommerce plugin. Since WooCommerce is open-source, we also review and accept contributions from developers worldwide—anyone can contribute!
With frequent updates and a growing community, it can be challenging to track changes. That’s where our developer newsletter comes in. It will help you stay informed about:
– WooCommerce Releases & Updates
Every five weeks, we release a new version of WooCommerce, introducing new features, bug fixes, security enhancements, and performance improvements. Our newsletter highlights the most important updates, ensuring you’re always prepared.
Each release cycle includes alpha releases, a beta phase, and a release candidate (RC) before the final public launch. These stages allow developers to test new features and provide feedback before they go live.
– Expert Tips for Building Better WooCommerce Stores
Get insights on optimizing your WooCommerce store for speed, security, and scalability. Whether you need tools for testing performance—like PLACEHOLDER87d33a303ee6168e—or guidance on preventing security threats such as PLACEHOLDER205eb8868beb53cd, our newsletter has you covered.
– Opportunities to Contribute & Engage
WooCommerce thrives on community contributions! Whether you’re interested in core development, building extensions, or participating in discussions, our newsletter keeps you updated on opportunities to get involved.
Stay informed about monthly office hours, live events with Woo’s engineering and product teams, and discussions on upcoming product changes—like PLACEHOLDER0b7244a4df95c868 or PLACEHOLDERcd9a3595b46b9f42.
– Beta Testing & Feedback Opportunities
Be among the first to test new features and provide valuable feedback. Beta testing is an excellent way to contribute to WooCommerce’s development, even if you don’t write code.
User feedback plays a crucial role in shaping WooCommerce. As a beta tester, you’ll have opportunities to share your experiences and help refine new features before they’re officially released.
Over the past year, our beta testing community has contributed to major improvements, including:
– Enhancing the WooCommerce payments experience for easier configuration.
– Improving email customization.
– Testing Order DataStore Caching for better store performance.
