docs(blog): add DDEV v1.25.4 release post, document gitignored env files - #736
Merged
Conversation
## The Issue DDEV v1.25.4 is released and needs an announcement post. The add-on maintenance guide also needed updating, since v1.25.4's gitignored `.local` env files change how add-ons should ask users for credentials. ## How This PR Solves The Issue Adds `src/content/blog/release-v1-25-4.md` covering database seeding and reset, MySQL 9.7 LTS, global Dockerfiles and env files, the Maho and MODX Revolution project types, new commands, the explained 403/404 pages, and the fixes for v1.25.3 regressions. Snapshots and performance tracking get brief bullet overviews with docs links, since each is getting its own post. Kept to roughly the length of previous release posts rather than restating the release notes. Adds the light and dark banner SVGs, copied from the v1.25.3 pair with only the version text changed, plus a screenshot of the new `ddev-router` 404 page. Adds a "Gitignored Env Files for Credentials" section to `ddev-add-on-maintenance-guide.md`, under "What's New in the DDEV Ecosystem", and updates its `modifiedDate`/`modifiedComment`. ## Manual Testing Instructions https://20260902-stasadev-release-v1.ddev-com-front-end.pages.dev/blog/release-v1-25-4/ - Check the post in light and dark themes; the banner should swap variants. - Confirm the table of contents lists every section and that the `ddev-router` 404 screenshot renders with its caption. - Confirm the v1.25.3 link in "Regressions from v1.25.3, Fixed" resolves to /blog/release-v1-25-3. - On https://20260902-stasadev-release-v1.ddev-com-front-end.pages.dev/blog/ddev-add-on-maintenance-guide/, confirm the new section appears after "Recommending DDEV Version Constraints" and that the cross-reference link in "Advanced Customization with Flags" jumps to it. ## Automated Testing Overview None; content only. `npm run prettier`, `npm run textlint`, and `npm run build` pass, and the build's link validator reports no broken links. ## Release/Deployment Notes None. 🤖 Developed with assistance from [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
