Title: v1.5.1 – WP-CLI – WordPress.org --- # Tag Archives: v1.5.1 [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/schlessera/) [Alain Schlesser](https://profiles.wordpress.org/schlessera/) 9:59 am _on_ April 21, 2018 Tags: [release ( 21 )](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/tag/release/), v1.5.1    # 󠀁[Version 1.5.1 released](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/2018/04/21/version-1-5-1-released/)󠁿 A new release is upon us! We’re excited to bring you WP-CLIWP-CLI WP-CLI is the Command Line Interface for WordPress, used to do administrative and development tasks in a programmatic way. The project page is [http://wp-cli.org/](http://wp-cli.org/) [https://make.wordpress.org/cli/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/) v1.5.1, an intermediary bugfix release with a total of 52 merged pull requests since v1.5.0 in January 2018. ## About this release This is a bugfix release, which means that you shouldn’t expect major feature enhancements. We’re working hard on v2.0.0 which is planned for the summer, and all new features will have to wait for that big one. ## Notable features Yes, I just said not to expect any new features. However, a small number of features managed to sneak into this release nevertheless. ### Edit your config files with ease The `config` command now has a new `config edit` function that opens the `wp-config. php` file in your favorite editor for easy changes. You can configure the editor to be used through the `EDITOR` environment variable [[#48](https://github.com/wp-cli/config-command/pull/48)]. ### Get better insight into your capabilities Although WordPress is able to have a capability be set to `false`, to effectively mean an explicit  “deny” of that capability, WP-CLI did not yet show that distinction. It only let you know that the capability was defined, but not whether it was negated, giving the false impression of it being “allowed” instead. This has now changed, and you can get a complete picture of how the capabilities are set by adding the `--show-grant` to the `cap list` command [[#19](https://github.com/wp-cli/role-command/pull/19)]. **Breaking change**: Note that the default behavior of `cap list` has slightly changed because of that. Whereas the previous version showed a capability set to `false` alongside the normal capabilities, a simple `cap list` without the new `--show-grant` flag will now hide the capabilities that are set to `false`, effectively returning only the capabilities that are actually “granted”. ## Bugs that were fixed **Framework** * Show help text even when `proc_(open|close)` aren’t available [[#4758]](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/4758) * Normalize Mac `tar` output [[#4674]](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/4674) * Tests should not depend on external commands [[#4673]](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/issues/4673) * Fix `phpunit` extractor, glob, behat tests [[#4672]](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/4672) * Move `phpunit` PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.

Here’s the list of bugs we’re planning to fix for this upcoming release: * Cannot install package from private repo [wp-cli/package-command#76](https://github.com/wp-cli/package-command/issues/76) * Placeholder escaping problem with `$[0-9]` present in values [wp-cli/wp-config-transformer#2](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-config-transformer/issues/2) * String not found in serialized object [wp-cli/search-replace-command#68](https://github.com/wp-cli/search-replace-command/issues/68) * Fix potential endless loopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post.

We’re glad about any contributions ( code or otherwise) to help us fix up this list as completely as possible.
