BuntyWP has released version 2.1 of Local WP Supercharged, a powerful enhancement for the popular Local WordPress development environment. The update introduces two major features: Database Snapshots and a Vulnerability Scan.
With Database Snapshots, developers can create point-in-time snapshots of their database. This allows users to snapshot a clean install, capture the state after adding a specific plugin, and instantly switch between snapshots to isolate issues or test changes without risk.
The new Vulnerability Scan checks for compromised packages in both individual sites and global installs. It also scans for phantom dependencies that should not exist in a project, and audits all Local WordPress sites in a single pass, helping developers maintain secure and clean environments.
These updates aim to streamline debugging and improve site reliability for WordPress developers working locally.
