What’s in this release

Strengthened WordPress 6.9+ Compatibility for Abilities API #62105 / #62089

Ensures the Abilities API works seamlessly across WordPress 6.9+ while maintaining backward compatibility with earlier versions. The fix addresses integration test compatibility issues and updates action hook handling to support both new and legacy WordPress hook naming conventions, preventing potential functionality breaks when stores upgrade to WordPress 6.9+.

Enhanced MCP Adapter with Improved Initialization #62090

Updates the MCP (Model Context Protocol) adapter to version 0.3.0 with a refactored initialization process. This update brings improved architecture and better integration patterns for AI-powered features in WooCommerce, laying groundwork for enhanced extensibility.

Prevents Fatal Error with Deleted Products in Shipping Calculations #62102

Resolves a fatal error that occurred when calling needs_shipping() on orders containing permanently deleted products. Without this fix, stores could encounter critical failures during shipping calculation or order processing workflows when product data is no longer available in the database, disrupting checkout and order management operations.

PHP 8.4 Compatibility Fix for WooCommerce Helper Updates #62095

Addresses a PHP 8.4 fatal error in the WooCommerce Helper updater that occurred when transient data contained malformed information. This fix adds defensive validation to prevent crashes during plugin update checks, ensuring store stability for those running or preparing to upgrade to PHP 8.4.

    10.3.6 appears for download, but not if you check for plugins ready to update, a problem in the tag system? Is it safe just to download and replace the 10.3.5. plugin? Does it have a db update? Thanks in advance

      Hey Daniel!

      There’s no db update in this release. It’s pretty normal for the plugin update system not to show updates immediately due to caching and scheduling. You can manually upload if you’d like, or use a tool like WP-CLI to run an update.

    Aside of can’t update by checking if there is new version, if you read the readme of the downloaded 10.3.6 you’ll find:

    Stable tag: 10.3.5

      Hey! Yes that’s a normal artifact of how the update process works. We upload the new files with the old stable tag and do some additional testing before finally updating the stable tag in the plugin directory.
