I don't think anything about our update could cause the issues he describes and we've had no other reports, this is the only claim on the internet, and doesn't include enough technical details to tell if it's an actual bug or not.
If it's a bug, our bad and we'll fix ASAP. If it's a bug, it's a very rare one. There have been 225k downloads of the SCF plugin in the past 24 hours, implying a lot of updates. I would estimate at least 60% of the sites with auto-upgrade on and using .org for updates have done so already. https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/advance...
That said, I'm happy to pay system2 whatever he thinks his time was "spent" on a Sunday is worth. Just let me know an amount and where to send. You can contact me here: https://ma.tt/contact/ .
Matt, you say that you've had no other reports and this is the only claim on the Internet.
That's not true. You have users on the support forums reporting issues with SCF.
"this has caused an incident requiring unschedule maintenance on a weekend. I use this plugin on a couple hundred sites I help maintain, so this has been a very bad experience "
There's no justification for this whatsoever - it was your actions which meant that the ACF team couldn't manage the plugin on dotorg, and the issue you fixed was unbelievably minor.
IF you even had a point in the beginning, you've fatally undermined it. Hell, WPE's motion for a preliminary injunction even now notes that your actions here have potentially fallen into CFAA territory - https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.43...
Given you've been banning dissenters from Slack, I wonder "why" people might not be reporting issues where you can see them?

Don't gaslight us. You've been removing negative reviews.
Thanks for improving on ACF. The plugin went downhill after the creator stepped away, IMO.
A while back, I bought a lifetime "Pro" license for ACF. It worked great for years. The last few times I tried ACF though, the admin experience felt degraded. My impression was their early customers had become an afterthought.
Looking forward to trying SCF. I have higher hopes for the plugin now.
