Changelog

1.13.0

Release date: September 8th, 2026.

Features

  • Adds a Publication Time Limit setting under Advanced settings, so publications on large sites can be given more than the default four hours before they are canceled.
  • Adds an Uploads Sync option to the Staatic Cloud deployment method that registers media from the uploads directory without crawling it; on Staatic Cloud hosted sites media is synchronised server-side, elsewhere it is uploaded directly from disk. (Premium)

Improvements

  • Speeds up result lookups by build and URL with a new database index, benefiting redirect and configuration post-processing as well as registering uploads on sites with many media files.
  • Replaces the publication test task with a bounded backend-worker survival diagnostic that reports disabled, running, complete, incomplete, and stale states, without claiming to test proxy responses or CPU capacity.
  • Speeds up Staatic Cloud publications further by synchronising crawled resources server-side as well, instead of uploading them from the site. (Premium)
  • Summarises how many results collided onto the same file path when deploying to Staatic Cloud. (Premium)

Fixes

  • Prevents an HTTP Concurrency of zero from being saved, which stalled the crawl batch size.
  • Prevents duplicate publication diagnostics, delays the first recurring run after the initial dispatch, and removes the Site Health status test when diagnostics are intentionally disabled.
  • Prevents large publications from failing when the deployment is initiated from the WordPress admin, by building the deployment manifest in bounded steps that resume across background runs.
  • Gives additional redirects precedence over generated results for the same address on every deployment method, instead of silently dropping the redirect or uploading the generated page alongside it; the publication log now names each result a redirect replaced.
  • Prevents a publication from removing the only remaining version of a page when two addresses that differ by a trailing slash redirect to each other.
  • Removes redirect results that point at their own address instead of publishing them as pages.
  • Prevents a publication from failing when media files are deleted from the uploads directory while it is running; the affected files are now reported and skipped instead. (Premium)
  • Resolves failing uploads for pages whose address only differs by a trailing slash, by consistently deploying a single version of such pages. (Premium)
  • Shows crawl progress as pages fetched against pages to fetch when Uploads Sync registers media from disk, instead of counting the registered media as remaining work. (Premium)
