Maintenance commitment
This page is only useful if it matches the live changelog. When EtchWP ships a new release:
- Update this table.
- Update Is EtchWP still being actively developed? if the count changes the assessment.
- Update the reviewed date on both pages.
If this page cannot be kept current, it should be removed from the site rather than left stale. A wrong release count discredits every other page here.
Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
- What is the latest EtchWP version?
- As of September 17, 2026, the latest release in the public changelog is EtchWP 1.6.7, dated September 3, 2026. It added one API property (etch.environment), one improvement (AI-bridge command copied to clipboard), and three fixes. Always verify at etchwp.com/changelog before relying on this figure — this page is updated when releases ship, not automatically.
- When was the last EtchWP feature release?
- July 8, 2026 — version 1.6.2. That release included Etch Intelligence loop editing, inline taxonomy and term editing, nested asset collections, and compression presets — six new features. Every release from August 10 onward contained fixes only, with a single API property added in 1.6.7 on September 3.
- How often did EtchWP release during year one?
- In the September 18, 2025 blog post, Geary reported 2,657 commits in year one, roughly 51 per week, over 40 full releases, and nearly one release per week. The public changelog visible as of September 2026 shows a very different cadence from August 10 onward: fixes only for five and a half weeks while Studio received new architecture.
- Will this page stay current?
- It must. This page exists so readers can verify release counts themselves. If it goes stale — if a new feature ships and this table is not updated — the honest action is to take the page down rather than mislead. Check etchwp.com/changelog directly for the authoritative record.
