Fixed

  • Remove dynamic term backfill on the REST API read path, which could clear co-author assignments on posts whose author terms had not yet been materialised by @claudiulodro in #1242
  • Restore guest-author avatars on admin screens, threading user_type through the /coauthors REST endpoint so the correct avatar is resolved by @GaryJones in #1240

Security

  • Verify nonce and capability before overriding post_author in coauthors_set_post_author_field, closing an authorship-falsification path usable by Author-level users by @GaryJones in #1243
  • Require the edit_post capability when saving guest author post data and meta fields by @GaryJones in #1243
  • Escape the Co-Author Image block href with esc_url to strip unsafe URL schemes that could otherwise be surfaced via the rest_prepare_coauthor filter by @GaryJones in #1243

Maintenance

  • Exclude /docs/ from the distribution ZIP by @GaryJones in #1238
  • Silence a WPVIP users-table sniff in the avatar-collision test helper by @GaryJones in #1240

Documentation

  • Split the developer reference from user guides into /docs/ by @GaryJones in #1238
