Fleet 0.9.0-rc.1 brings everyday publishing work into each connected site's native OpenStation window.

This is a pre-release for staging and agency pilots, not a general-availability release. Requires WordPress 7.1+, PHP 8.3+, HTTPS, sodium, and an OpenStation build with the experimental App Framework. The tested framework commit and setup details are in the wiki.

What's new

  • Create and edit HTML/WordPress block source without opening another wp-admin.
  • Review the destination, publishing time, and changes before publishing or scheduling.
  • Compare Core revisions and recover supported source fields into the editor before saving.
  • Save per-site content filters and discover supported REST-enabled custom content types.
  • Review connection readiness, finish setup separately, and repair revoked credentials without losing client details.
  • Use smaller paginated collections and redacted local support diagnostics.
  • Refreshed native layout, accessibility checks, consumer README, and ten real screenshots.

Reliability fixes

  • Closing a dirty window asks before discarding edits; two site windows remain independent.
  • Failed or partial Site Health checks retain last-known findings and clearly mark stale results.
  • Timezone changes use and verify Core's correct REST field.
  • Malformed scheduling dates fail validation cleanly.
  • Connection updates preserve new metadata defaults, and uncertain content creation is not automatically replayed.

Before installing

Install Fleet only on the hub. Managed sites use existing Core APIs and revocable Application Passwords; no new Fleet endpoint or client-site Fleet plugin is required. No OpenStation source changes were made.

Back up the hub database, files, and salts before upgrading. Start on staging with the verified framework build. The editor is source-based, not Gutenberg; it is not durable autosave, an atomic remote lock, or a backup system. Public-host compatibility and agency pilots remain launch gates.
