WooCommerce relies on the constant DB_NAME to display information about the database tables in the system status page. The problem is that this constant is not always defined (e.g., when the plugin HyperDB is used to replace the standard wpdb class). When that is the case, WooCommerce will incorrectly say that its core tables are missing and the following PHP warning will be generated:
```
Use of undefined constant DB_NAME - assumed 'DB_NAME' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP)
wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/api/v2/class-wc-rest-system-status-v2-controller.php:708
```
To fix this, this commit checks to see if DB_NAME is defined before using it. When the constant is not set, WooCommerce will display the following message to the users instead of the list of supposedly missing tables:
```
Database information: Unable to retrieve database information. Usually, this is not a problem, and it only means that your install is using a class that replaces the WordPress database class (e.g., HyperDB) and WooCommerce is unable to get database information.
```
Commit d6bd82865c removed apigen from
WooCommerce core repository as we are moving it to its own repository (https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-api-docs). This
commit removes the apigen from configuration files. In most cases, it is
just removing the apigen directory from the exclude list of things like
PHPCS and Code Climate.
In 203dba5 a check against the current user id was introduced.
This check is always failing because of a type mismatch causing an unnecessary insert/update query against the database.
This commit introduces a banner that notifies and prompts users to upgrade their WordPress and/or PHP if they are outdated and not part of the minimum required versions going into WooCommerce 3.7.
