WP REST API: Version 2.0 Beta 11

Just days before the first conference dedicated to the REST API, we bring you: 2.0 Beta 11 “Give me a white wine spritzer!”. Download it from the plugin repository or from GitHub.

Here are some highlightsbreaking changes from the changelog:

• Moves Post->Term relations to the Post Resource. Previously, a client would fetch a Post’s Tags with GET /wp/v2/posts/<id>/tags. In Beta 11, an array of term ids is included on the Post resource. The collection of terms for a Post can be fetched with GET /wp/v2/tags?post=<id>. The WP_REST_Posts_Terms_Controller class no longer exists.
• Changes featured_image attribute on Posts to featured_media. While featuring other attachment types isn’t yet officially supported, this makes it easier for us to introduce the possibility in the future.
• Uses discrete schema title for categories and tags. If you’ve used register_rest_field( 'term' ), you’ll need to change 'term' to 'tag' and/or 'category'.
• Makes many filters dynamic based on the controller type. If you were using the rest_prepare_term filter, you’ll need to change it to rest_prepare_post_tag or rest_prepare_category. If you were using rest_post_query or rest_terms_query, you’ll need update your use to rest_page_query, etc. If you were using rest_post_trashable, rest_insert_post or rest_delete_post, they are now dynamic based on the post type slug.

As always, we have a detailed changelog as well as the full set of changes if you’re interested.
