+[The Terminus Scheduled Jobs Plugin](/customer-scheduled-cron-jobs) allows you to schedule and automate specific cron jobs according to site requirements without affecting performance.
+
+You can specify the desired frequency (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, hourly), and the actions to be performed. The system then executes the scheduled jobs automatically based on the provided instructions. Helps with long running jobs by granting a total budget of 300 mins (in a 24 hr period) to run jobs.

+We released version 1.0.5 of the [WP Decoupled Preview plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/decoupled-preview/) which contains a bug fix specific to WordPress 6.3. WP Decoupled Preview enables content editors to see their changes in the context of a front-end framework (served through [Pantheon's Front-End Sites](/guides/decoupled/overview)) like Next.js. To try this functionality, request access to Front-End Sites and [follow our tutorial for spinning up our WordPress + Next.js starter](/guides/decoupled/wp-nextjs-frontend-starters).
+
+Can you tell we want more teams to sign up for Front-End Sites? If you don't yet have access, as of the last month you'll now see callouts in the site creation flow that lead to Front-End Sites Access:
+
+![Sign up page in the Pantheon dashboard for decoupled Early Access](../images/decoupled/ea-decoupled-signup.png)
+
+Thanks to efforts in the last month, once you spin up new codebases in Front-End Sites, you will also find:
+- Newly improved readme files in your fresh projects.
+- Health checks that fire early in the build process if your Front-End Site may be likely to fail due to missing variables for a back-end CMS
+- A better navigation and search functionality for [the Decoupled Kit project documentation](https://decoupledkit.pantheon.io/docs).

+Pantheon has pushed an update to WordPress and Drupal 7 core upstreams which sets PHP 8.1 as the new default PHP version, rather than 7.4.
+
+Please test this core update thoroughly before deploying to the Live environment. If your site requires an older version of PHP, or if you'd like to upgrade to PHP 8.2, see [Pantheon’s documentation on how to manage PHP versions via the pantheon.yml configuration file](/guides/php/php-versions).

+We released an update for the [Pantheon Advanced Page Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pantheon-advanced-page-cache/) WordPress plugin which adds a filter to allow disabling surrogate keys for posts' taxonomy terms. This can be especially helpful for posts with large numbers of taxonomies (such as WooCommerce products with a large number of global attributes).

+title: PHP Security Updates
+published_date: "2023-09-01"
+categories: [infrastructure, security, action-required]
+---
+Pantheon has deployed PHP versions [8.2.9](https://www.php.net/ChangeLog-8.php#8.2.9), [8.1.22](https://www.php.net/ChangeLog-8.php#8.1.22), and [8.0.30](https://www.php.net/ChangeLog-8.php#8.0.30) to customer sites running on the platform. These releases address vulnerabilities disclosed in [CVE-2023-3823](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-3823) and [CVE-2023-3824](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-3824).
+
+If you are using PHP 8.2, 8.1 or 8.0, there is nothing further that you need to do. If you are still on PHP 7.4 or earlier, though, you should schedule some time to upgrade to a supported version.While the vulnerabilities patched in these latest releases are not reported to affect PHP 7.4, the fact remains that there could be (and probably are) unpatched vulnerabilities in the end-of-life versions.

+We released an update for the [Solr Search for WordPress plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/solr-power/) which disables auto-commit by default and allows cron to push solr commits regularly instead.
+
+This drastically improves the performance of large sites and avoids 503 errors related to hard committing on every update. This update is recommended for all WordPress sites currently running the plugin.
+
+You can still enable auto-commit by explicitly setting `SOLRPOWER_DISABLE_AUTOCOMMIT` to `false`.

+On September 20th, [Drupal core updates were released to address a critical vulnerability in the JSON:API module](https://status.pantheon.io/incidents/vj842n7k7w40). Those updates became immediately available within the Pantheon dashboard for one-click code updates. Additionally, [our engineers updated our CDN to mitigate potential attacks](https://status.pantheon.io/incidents/598zxv2v8l7p).
+
+If you have a Drupal site using JSON:API we suggest you update as soon as possible if you haven't done so already. And even if you aren't using JSON:API, it'll still feel good to apply an update, right? To better understand the nature of security updates, [come watch the Pantheon YouTube Livestream on October 25th](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV2ZSeBOziU).

+The File System team at Pantheon achieved significant speed improvements in backup processes. The Valhalla export process was overhauled, allowing backups to be constructed from new objects, cutting down export times by 25-83%. This was accomplished by initiating object retrieval immediately after receiving MANIFEST metadata, omitting empty files, and promptly archiving received files.

+published_date: "2023-11-01"
+categories: [front-end-sites, action-required, performance]
+---
+Pantheon introduced a new build pipeline for Front End Sites to significantly improve build times. Beginning on November 13th, 2023, newly created sites are automatically using the new pipeline and cannot opt back to the old pipeline. Sites made prior to that date can opt-in to the new pipeline to take advantage of the new features. All pre-existing sites that do not opt-in will be switched over for new builds on or around January 15th.
+
+Additionally, we are adding support for Node 18 (for dynamic sites) and 20 (for both static and dynamic sites). To select a specific version, Pantheon is [moving away from using .nvmrc](/guides/decoupled/overview/manage-settings#nodejs-version) and will instead look to the [“engines” field](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/configuring-npm/package-json#engines) in your project’s `package.json` file.
+
+To find out more about adopting the new pipeline, [check out our documentation](/guides/decoupled/overview/v1-pipeline), and read our [blog post](https://pantheon.io/blog/opt-now-faster-build-pipeline-front-end-sites?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_content=front_end_sites_blog&utm_campaign=2023_11_PSU_ALL_US_Novemeber_Changelog_Newsletter) about how we’re already experiencing the benefits of this internally at Pantheon.

+title: Streamlined User Offboarding
+published_date: "2023-11-01"
+categories: [account-management, user-interface, new-feature]
+---
+Administrators of large workspaces will now be able to easily remove access for offboarded users at scale. When a member of your team changes jobs, or for whatever reason you need to remove a person from your sites, you can now do so faster
+
+As you remove users from your workspace or site team, you will be prompted to remove access across all sites that a given user may be connected to, which can save multiple clicks and manual labor to ensure the right access levels are maintained.
+
+To learn more about how this new offboarding process works, take a look at our [documentation](/guides/account-mgmt/workspace-sites-teams/teams#remove-a-user).

+title: Upgraded Security Measures for Uninterrupted WebOps Experience
+published_date: "2023-12-01"
+categories: [infrastructure, security, performance]
+---
+We're thrilled to announce an impactful upgrade to Pantheon's security infrastructure, reinforcing our commitment to safeguarding your websites. In response to the escalating sophistication of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, we've implemented innovative solutions to fortify our defenses. Particularly, we've addressed a surge in Layer 7 attacks targeting content management systems, ensuring resilience even without our Advanced Global CDN's Web Application Firewall (WAF).
+
+**Key benefits:**
+* **Advanced DDoS protection**: Our engineers have proactively countered Layer 7 attacks, mitigating risks posed by inauthentic traffic targeting web content management systems.
+* **Rate limiting capabilities**: We've introduced rate limiting capabilities within our Global CDN, curbing abusive traffic effectively. This ensures a stable online presence, even during large-scale attacks, preventing wider stability issues.
+
+For more in-depth insights into the measures we've taken and the value they bring to your Pantheon experience, delve into the [full blog post](https://pantheon.io/blog/pantheon-improves-protection-malicious-traffic). Your website's security and stability are our top priorities, and this enhancement is another step in our ongoing commitment to delivering a robust WebOps platform.
