What’s new in InstantFilter

Major milestones from active development — enough to see the product is maintained. Patch updates ship automatically to license holders. Questions? Email tom@instantstack.co.

Highlights only — not every patch. Current release line: v1.1.2.

v1.1.2 May 2026 Improvement
  • Polish and stability for large-catalog shops — filter counters, indexing and admin UX refinements on top of the 1.1 line.
v1.1.0 February 2026 Performance
  • Pre-aggregated filter counts — category and shop pages render with accurate counts in milliseconds instead of multi-second SSR queries on large catalogs.
  • Counts rebuild automatically in the background after indexing. No extra admin button to remember.
v1.0.5 April 2026 Major feature
  • Card Builder — visual product-card designer in WP Admin (Pro & Agency). Lay out titles, prices, badges and attribute swatches without editing theme templates.
  • Bind a card to a listing or shortcode so different archives can use different layouts. Basic tier keeps the built-in PHP card. See the Card Builder docs.
v1.0.0 February 2026 Launch
  • Public Founders launch — 14-day trial and tiered licensing (Basic, Pro, Agency) via Lemon Squeezy.
  • License key activation in WP Admin with automatic plugin updates for paying customers.
v0.9.3 Early 2026 Variations
  • Per-property variation explode — show color (or any attribute) as separate filterable cards while other attributes stay on the card.
  • Item-based indexer batching and accurate filter counts when variations are exploded.
v0.9.15 February 2026 B2B
  • Hide-price mode for quote-on-request and B2B products — custom placeholder text, excluded from price filters, “View product” instead of add-to-cart.
v0.8.6 2025–2026 Stability
  • Indexing hardened for shops with thousands of products and variations — memory leaks removed, batch processing tuned for 6,000+ SKUs without crashes.
  • Export and filter-bar foundations that the current frontend still builds on.
