Roadmap

WP-CLI is released every 3-4 months, typically around the beta period of WordPress's release cycle:
Current: v2.12.0 (May 7th, 2025)
Patch versions are released on an as-needed basis, usually to address bugs or regressions. The current version of WP-CLI is the only officially supported version.
The current longer-term goals of the project are:
Improve contributor onboarding by streamlining development environment setup, testing and documentation.
Rethink the role of WP-CLI scaffolding as an educational tool and a practical application of best practices.
New features are developed as packages first. Doing so enables:
Faster feature iteration with less risk.
More contribution opportunities.
Reduced complexity and maintenance burden for the core project.
