The latest version 5.6.0 of WooCommerce Product Search, released on July 15, 2024, brings several noteworthy updates and additions. First, it’s now compatible with the latest versions of WordPress (6.6) and WooCommerce (9.2), but requires at least WordPress version 6.2 to run. The update also enhances functionality with the WooCommerce “Product Collection” block by allowing the extension’s filter blocks to work in tandem with the “Product Catalog” collection. This means you can filter and display products more effectively right from within this block.
In terms of developer changes, the update modernizes the code by replacing several outdated jQuery functions, ensuring better performance and compatibility moving forward. Additionally, the plugin now uses `ReactDOMClient.createRoot`, and the selectize library has been updated to version 0.15.2. A new filter, `woocommerce_product_search_handle_product_collections`, has also been added, providing developers with more customization options. Overall, these changes aim to improve compatibility, functionality, and code quality.
