This page lists changes made in recent versions of Extended CPTs that are of interest to developers, for example new arguments and other new features. For a complete changelog, see the Releases page.

4.3.0 (2019-08-12)

Two new post type listing screen filters were introduced: post_author for an author dropdown, and post_date for a date picker.

The title_icon and title_cb parameters were introduced for displaying a Dashicon or complex markup in post type listing screen column titles.

The dashboard_activity argument was added to allow the post type to be included in the Recently Published section of the Activity widget on the dashboard.

4.2.6 (2019-08-08)

It's now possible to specify a default argument in a filter, so posts are filtered by that value by default.

A meta_key_exists filter type has been introduced, which performs a real EXISTS query on the meta key rather than the truthy meta value query that the meta_exists filter performs.

4.2.5 (2019-06-27)

No developer-facing changes.

4.2.4 (2019-06-17)

An optional label argument can now be passed to most filters to control the text used for the <label> element for the field. A sensible default is used depending on the filter type, and it's unlikely you'll need to change this.

4.2.3 (2019-09-08)

No developer-facing changes.

4.2.2 (2018-12-06)

No developer-facing changes.

4.2.1 (2018-10-04)

No developer-facing changes.

4.2.0 (2017-11-01)

Any value that can be passed through strtotime() can now be used when using an admin column that uses date_format. Previously this was restricted to just Unix and MySQL format timestamps.
