1.1.0

[rmccue]

Introducing FAIR 1.1, our newest release as part of our regular 6-week release train. We’ve got some great new features, as well as refinements of existing ones.

One of the big features we’ve included in 1.1 is WP-CLI support for plugins, making it possible to manage plugins directly from the command line using their DID. We’ve heard from a lot of people that they’d love to be able to manage FAIR-distributed plugins using the CLI - and now you can!

We’ve also improved consistency and accuracy with a few parts of our user interface, helping to clarify the experience for everyone.

All of this, plus loads of other fixes below – as always, thanks to our amazing contributors.

Our plan is to release regularly on a roughly 6 week cadence to make sure we’re always getting the latest and greatest out to you.

We’ve also been cooking in the background on other components in the FAIR ecosystem, including significant work on AspireCloud and AspireExplorer – plus, we’ve just wrapped up our hackathon with Patchstack, building the groundwork for our labeler system (more on that soon!).

P.s. Still getting your head around FAIR? Check out our explainer video and post!
