WooCommerce 10.5 swaps per-order analytics jobs for batched scheduled imports, which is the fix for bloated ActionScheduler tables. Also inside: experimental product object caching, a new shipping tax filter, and the add to cart fix.
A vendor changed a CSV delimiter at 2 AM and my nightly import died. Here is the try, heal, retry loop I built with Pandas, Pydantic and Tenacity so the pipeline handles that class of error itself.

WooCommerce 10.5 adds an experimental REST API cache built on the RestApiCache trait. Notes on wrapping a controller callback, the ETag and 304 handling, why you need Redis or Memcached, and the Nginx header quirk that breaks it.
WordCamp Asia 2026 is set for Mumbai, April 9 to 11, at the Jio World Convention Centre, with more than 3,000 attendees expected. Notes on why the flagship event is worth the trip, what sponsorship pays for, and how the hallway track earns its keep.
