title: Version 0.20.3 released
---

WordPress 4.4 loads a few new files in `wp-settings.php` relating to oEmbed and the REST API. Because WP-CLI has a custom `wp-settings-cli.php` ([background](https://wp-cli.org/blog/how-wp-cli-loads-wordpress.html)), WP-CLI v0.20.3 is a compatibility release to load these new files.

**Importantly, due to the nature of these changes, WP-CLI versions prior to 0.20.3 will be incompatible with WordPress 4.4.**

Stay tuned next week for WP-CLI v0.21.0 (which is also compatible with WordPress 4.4), the results of the [user survey](https://wp-cli.org/blog/user-survey-2015.html), and a special announcement.
