Documentation

Many updates to VVV's documentation were made between the release of 2.0.0 and now. As of 2.1.0, the process to contributing to documentation has changed to use the varyingvagrantvagrants.org repository. This allows the workflow for shipping documentation changes to proceed separately from shipping VVV releases.

2.0.0 (March 13, 2017)

VVV 2.0.0 introduces breaking changes in how files are organized and introduces an entirely new method of configuration.

A full vagrant destroy and vagrant up are recommended for best results. Running vagrant destroy will remove your virtual machine entirely and all data stored on the VM will be lost. Please be sure to backup your databases and any files stored in the VM. Files on your local file system will remain, but will still benefit (as always) from a backup.

It is possible to make the from VVV 1.4.x to 2.0.0 without a vagrant destroy, but the process will involve restructuring several things. Primarily, default project directories are now expected to contain a public_html/ directory. This requires not only file changes, but new Nginx configurations. If you need help troubleshooting, don't hesitate to open a new issue.

Please see the migration documentation for tips on how to manage this process.

The decision to include breaking changes in a release is not made lightly. The new ability to configure your installation of VVV with a vvv-custom.yml file will make VVV entirely more flexible and maintainable than it has ever been. Please see the release blog post and documentation for more details.

Features & Enhancements

• Introduce a YAML configuration for VVV. It is now possible to customize your configuration of VVV with a vvv-custom.yml file that defines which projects, hosts, and utilities are provisioned. See #980.
• Introduce a new VVV Utilities repository. This works with the new YAML configuration to provide the ability to customize what utilities are provisioned with VVV. See #1021.
• Introduce a new VVV Custom Site Template repository. This can be used in vvv-custom.yml to quickly add new sites to VVV.
• Introduce a new VVV WordPress Develop repository. This is used in the default vvv-config.yml and can be used in (or excluded from) custom configurations.
• Introduce a new VVV WordPress Default repository. This is used in the default vvv-config.yml and can be used in (or excluded from) custom configurations.
• Introduce a new VVV WordPress Trunk repository. This can be used in custom configurations if you'd like a checkout of WordPress trunk.
• Add support for custom keys in the YAML configuration. These are available to individual site provisioning scripts. See #1071.
• Add support for PHP 5.6, 7.0, and 7.1 via the VVV YAML configuration. See #1055.
• Introduce a new documentation structure and an entire set of new documentation. See #1073 and, more importantly, #1112.

Bug fixes and enhancements

• Composer: Set a custom GitHub token for Composer if it exists. See #575.
• Docs: Update inline Vagrantfile documentation to better explain various network configurations.
• MySQL: Enable innodb_file_per_table. See #537.
• npm: Add npm-check-updates during provisioning to help manage package.json inside the VM. See #484.
• PHP: Bump max upload size in PHP and Nginx to 1024MB to support developing on the Internet in the year 2016. See #599.
• PHPCS: Set default code standards for PHPCS to WordPress-Core. See #574.
• phpMyAdmin: Allow for a custom phpMyAdmin configuration file. See #688.
• PHPUnit: Update PHPUnit to 4.3.8. A future update of VVV should include PHP 5.6.x or PHP 7 and allow us to update PHPUnit to 5.x. See #808.
• PHPUnit: Allow PHPUnit to run tests from the local machine while using the WordPress unit tests database in the virtual machine. See #785.
• PHPUnit: Set the WP_CORE_DIR path so PHPUnit tests are run against WordPress trunk. See #783.

• WP-CLI: Add an external configuration for WP-CLI so that a locally installed copy can be used outside of the VM. See #564.

1.2.0 (December 14, 2014)

• VVV is now MIT Licensed.
• Possible Breaking: By default, database files are no longer mapped to a local location.
  • A full vagrant destroy and the removal of MySQL data from {vvv-dir}/database/data/ is recommended.
  • If database files already exist from an earlier version of VVV, data will continue to be mapped locally until removed.
  • Database data will continue to exist on the virtual machine through vagrant halt and vagrant suspend.
  • Database data will no longer exist on the virtual machine after vagrant destroy.
  • A db_backup script is provided by default that creates local backups of each database on halt, suspend, and destroy if the vagrant-triggers plugin is installed.
• Possible Breaking: Ubuntu has been upgraded from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS. We have also moved from 32bit to 64bit.
  • A full vagrant destroy is recommended for best results.
  • A new box will be downloaded for the base virtual machine. If you'd like to free space, remove the old box with vagrant box remove precise32. Running vagrant box list will show you all base VMs on your local machine.
  • With a new operating system comes a new RSA key. If you are connecting via SSH through an application that relies on your machines known_hosts file, you will need to clear the old key for 192.168.50.4. See #365
• Init scripts are now fired with source rather than bash. Due to this change, something like cd "$(dirname $0)" no longer works as expected. See #373 and #370 for reasoning and discussion.
• WordPress: Add develop_git to convert the default SVN checkout to Git.
• PHP: Update to PHP 5.5.x
• PHP: Remove php-apc and apc.ini. Enable built in opcache.
• PHP: Start tracking custom php5-fpm.conf file.
• PHP: Start tracking custom opcache.ini file.
• PHP: Update to PHPUnit 4.0.x
• PHP: Install XDebug PECL extension directly, rather than via apt.
• phpMyAdmin: Update to 4.2.13.1
• WP-Cli: Add support for autocomplete.
• VVV Dashboard: Add Opcache Status for opcache monitoring.
• Bash: Allow for a custom bash_prompt file in config/
• NodeJS: Use recommended PPAs to install
• NodeJS: Self update NPM during provisioning
• Logs: Map a shared directory for logs, start storing php_errors.log
• Nginx: Install using the mainline repository, currently 1.7.x.

1.1

• Transition to Varying Vagrant Vagrants organization.
• Add a CONTRIBUTING document.
• Add --allow-root to all wp-cli calls in VVV core.
• Use a new global composer configuration.
• Add zip as a package during provisioning.
• Introduce a helpful caveats section.
• Remove tcp_nodelay config in Nginx. Reasoning in 0cce79501.

1.0

• Introduce Auto Site Setup during provisioning to allow for easy new project configuration.
• Happy Fix vagrant up after halt meets expectations and no longer requires provisioning to be reapplied.
• Begin implementing best practices from Google's shell style guide in our provisioning scripts.
• Databases can now be dropped in phpMyAdmin. Pro-tip, drop database wordpress_develop in phpMyAdmin followed by vagrant provision clears your src.wordpress-develop.dev for reinstall.
• Copy config files instead of linking them. This allows for a nicer vagrant up after a vagrant halt and treats provisioning more like it should be treated. See 1fbf329 for a more detailed commit message.
• Allow for dashboard-custom.php to override the default dashboard provided by VVV
• Reduce size of the included my.cnf file to exclude unrequired changes. Increase max_allowed_packet setting.

0.9

• Possible Annoying: Use precise32 for the Vagrant box name for better cross project box caching.
  • Note: This will probably cause a new Vagrant box to download. Use vagrant box remove std-precise32 after a vagrant destroy to remove the old one and start with this.
• Possible Breaking: Change VM hostname to vvv.dev
  • Note: If you had anything setup to rely on the hostname of precise32-dev, this may break.
• Possible Breaking: Change MySQL root password to root
  • Note: If anything is setup to rely on the previous password of blank, this may break.
  • You can also now access mysql -u root without a password.
• Introduce support for the WordPress develop.svn
  • This was added pretty much the day it was available. Such a pleasure to work with!
  • Allowed us to remove the old wordpress-unit-tests in favor of the new wordpress-develop/tests
• Introduce support for the Vagrant hostsupdater plugin
  • Use vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater to install.
  • Very, very much recommended for an easier and happier life.
• Introduce Postfix with a default config. Mail works! (But check your spam)
• Introduce the WordPress i18n Tools, including config/homebin/makepot
• Introduce PHP_CodeSniffer, WordPress-Coding-Standards, and Webgrind
• Remove entire well intended but not so useful flags system
• Rather than include PHPMemcachedadmin in the VVV repository, download it on initial provision
• Verify support for Vagrant 1.3.5 (as well as 1.2.x) and VirtualBox 4.3 (as well as 4.2.x)
• Move xdebug_on and xdebug_off controls to executable files in config/homebin
• Generate vagrant_dir in Vagrantfile for accessing relative file locations
• Add a basic network connectivity check by pinging Google DNS servers
• Update stable version of WordPress automatically on provision
• General cleanup to screen output during provisioning
• Many updates to the default nginx configuration
• Remove poor, unused implementation of Watchr
• Provide default certs for SSL in Nginx
