As the size of
woocommerce.zipcontinues to grow, we are faced with the challenge of reducing the size of the plugin archive. We have a solution in mind, however, this change would potentially impact debugging workflows within our community. We have taken great care internally to develop a proposed solution, however, we want to make sure that we are taking every perspective into consideration.We have published an RFC to our GitHub Discussion board in order to offer an opportunity for our community to provide feedback. This RFC will remain open for three weeks, after which we will make a decision and add it to our internal roadmap.
If you are currently utilizing the JS or CSS source files within WooCommerce, please take a look at this RFC and leave any feedback you may have before it closes on August 26th, 2022.

Hi folks!
We are announcing a change to the way our BETA and RC pre-releases are published.
In order to deliver a more stable release, we’ve decided to let the BETA pre-releases run one week longer. That means our RC pre-release is now reduced to one week. Pre-release versions will still be available for a total of 3 weeks prior to releasing the final version.
We have decided to do this in an effort to provide a more stable RC pre-release. By running a longer BETA cycle, we can ensure a more significant time for any bugs to arise and to be mitigated before the RC is released.
Please note that we have already started following this new schedule in the outgoing WooCommerce 6.7 release, and this post will serve as an official announcement to that fact.
The next BETA pre-release for version 6.8 is scheduled to be available from 2022/07/19 – 2022/08/01 and the next RC pre-release is scheduled to be available from 2022/08/02 – 2022/08/08. The final version will be available on 2022/08/09, as is usually done.
There are no other changes to the current release cadence, and we will continue shipping the final release on the second Tuesday of each month.
Thanks!
