v3.12.4 – New WordOps maintenance release

Wordops V3.12.4

After a few quieter months, two WordOps maintenance releases were published this week!

What’s New ?

The first maintenance release (v3.12.3) add support for Avif (AV1 Image Format) in addition to WebP with Nginx, and replace Gzip by Zstd (Zstandard) to perform all compression tasks in WordOps (Zstandard provide better compression level with lower compression duration).
If you want to extract as .zst archive, you can use the command zstd -d <your-file>.

Otherwise, the two releases provides several bugfixes listed in the changelog.
To update WordOps, just use the command wo update. Additionally, you will have to run the command wo stack upgrade to update Nginx configuration files.
