We’ve just released ClassicPress 1.0.1, a security release. We recommend that you update your site(s) as soon as possible. ClassicPress 1.0.1 is a security release to match the security changes in WordPress 5.1.1 and 4.9.10 (both released today). It is available now.
Testing is critical during the RC phase – if we have any new bugs in ClassicPress 1.0.0-rc2, we need to know now so that we can get them fixed before the final release! Otherwise, the final release will be out on Tuesday, March 5.

We’re extremely excited to announce the first alpha release of ClassicPress, codenamed Sunrise. This launch has been a work of sheer dedication, a sprinkling of love, a dash of frustration and a large helping of teamwork, collaboration and enjoyment.
We think that for the time being (two years at least), big players in the plugin and theme space will want to keep backward compatibility. As long as the Classic Editor plugin is being “promoted” as an alternative, these plugins should remain working.
