With yesterday’s announcement of the latest release of the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate, I’ve had a number of emails, tweets, and messages how people can stay up to date with the project without having to follow the GitHub repository, or the blog.

Today, I am absolutely stoked to announce the next major release of the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate.

I discussed some of the things I’ve learned – and some of the changes that have been implemented in a recent post – but I couldn’t be happier with this release.
