# WP-CLI 1.1.0 Released!

WP-CLI [1.1.0](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/2017/02/01/version-1-1-0/) was released only a few days ago with a great deal of command and framework improvements as well as bug fixes. WP-CLI is a set of command line tools for managing WordPress installations without the use of a web browser. You can manage multisite installations, plugins, packages, posts and [more](http://wp-cli.org/commands/). Daniel Bachbuer, WP-CLI’s maintainer, announced a couple of new things as well:

First, the project’s[ internal API](http://wp-cli.org/docs/internal-api/) and [commands](http://wp-cli.org/commands/) will be migrating under wordpress.org. The documentation has already been included in the [WordPress Handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/) and can be edited by project contributors. Since it is an official WordPress project now, Daniel said the following in a [previous post](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/2017/01/03/lets-do-this/),

### *“At the end of the day, I am no longer solely responsible for the project. If I were to be hit by a bus, there’s a more recognizable continuation plan for someone else to step in. Eventually, I hope to onboard a couple more maintainers who regularly invest significant time in the project.”*

Second, due to the project becoming monolithic, wp-cli’s internal commands will be splitted in several distinct packages. This change will begin to take place with **wp search-replace**, **wp shell**, **wp server**, **wp (eval|eval-file)**, and **wp media**. This decision will help to distribute the work load among different package maintainers and enhance the project’s overall maintainability.

Third, [some wp-cli ideas](https://github.com/wp-cli/ideas/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc) have been selected for becoming a prototype soon, such as Backup and Restore, 5-min install, DB & Media migration and many more. There is also a [Github repository](https://github.com/wp-cli/ideas/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc) specifically created by the community, for logging ideas.

In this new major release, there were overall 23 improvements on the following commands: **cache**, **list**, **core**, **db**, **media**, **plugin**, **scaffold**, **search-replace**, **server** and **site**. You can find the full list of resolved issues for 1.1.0 on the project’s [Github repository](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/issues?q=milestone%3A1.1.0+is%3Aclosed).

For those that are interested, Daniel is also looking to hire a part-time maintainer for the project.
