+title: WP-CLI v2.11.0 release now available on Pantheon
+published_date: "2024-09-10"
+categories: [wordpress]
+---
+
+We're thrilled to announce the availability of WP-CLI v2.11.0 on the Pantheon platform.
+
+WP-CLI is easily accessible for any WordPress site on Pantheon through our CLI, [Terminus](/terminus), allowing you to manage your WordPress installations efficiently with WP-CLI’s powerful commands at your fingertips.
+
+### Highlights 
+
+* **New site generator command:**
+This new command has been added to create multiple sites programmatically in a multisite installation. This is useful for testing or development purposes.
+
+* **GitHub release installation support:**
+The extension command now supports installing plugins and themes directly from GitHub releases.
+
+* **Minor and patch limitations for theme updates:**
+Themes can now be updated only to their latest minor or patch releases, similar to plugins.
+
+* **New "user exists" command:**
+A new `wp user exists` command allows for quick checks on whether a user exists in the WordPress database.
+
+* **Option to delete unknown image sizes:**
+The new `--delete-unknown` flag added to `wp media regenerate` is especially helpful for site owners dealing with [highly populated media directories](/release-notes/2024/08/prevent-filesystem-overload).
+
+* **Bug fixes:**
+WP-CLI 2.11.0 includes numerous bug fixes, with over 250 pull requests merged, addressing both minor and significant issues.
+
+For a deeper dive into all the changes, we encourage you to explore the [detailed WP-CLI changelog](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/2024/08/08/wp-cli-v2-11-0-release-notes).
