WSL 2.2.3 Pre-Release Notes. Potential breaking changes.
-
Pre-release 2.2.3 is now available, and there will be two breaking changes you must be aware of before upgrading to this new version:
1. Depreciated hooks (prior to WSL 2.2.1) has been removed. Please update the WSL hooks you were using accordingly to the new developer API : actions and filters.
2. Steam users identifiers has been changed to SteamID64. When updated, WSL 2.2.3 will automatically convert all the existing steam users identifiers to the new format.
These two breaking changes will have no significant implication for those who don’t use the depreciated WSL hooks nor Steam.
