This release includes significant progress in consolidating the codebase and refining aspects of the experience. Notably, it introduces APIs for extending GutenbergGutenbergThe Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ beyond blocks, allowing plugins to register a full sidebarSidebarA sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. for their functionality. There are also expansions to the template support (now allows to declare nested structures), ability to duplicate blocks, various design adjustments, etc. Overall the tone has been fine tuning existing elements and simplifying implementations.
Add CodeMirror (coreCoreCore is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. library) to the HTMLHTMLHyperText Markup Language. The semantic scripting language primarily used for outputting content in web browsers.blockBlockBlock is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.for syntax highlighting.
Introduce new APIAPIAn API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. for allowing plugins to register sidebars. ⭐️ It allows plugins to further extend Gutenberg natively with non-content functionality. Note: the public facing functions are marked as experimental as they are being iterated in the context of the major extensibility work going on outside of blocks.
HTML block, now with syntax highlighting.
Other Changes
Improve the "invalid block" dialog by reducing the options and adding a new convert to blocks feature as we have solidified the transformations.
Add a script that creates a PHPPHPThe web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 5.6.20 or higher file based on a POT to make the plugin translatable.
Move filterFilterFilters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. for registering block types before validation happens.
MovemetaMetaMeta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. boxes out of the generic editor module.
Make the "more" tagtagA directory in Subversion. WordPress uses tags to store a single snapshot of a version (3.6, 3.6.1, etc.), the common convention of tags in version control systems. (Not to be confused with post tags.) visible in the Classic block.

After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority. in paragraph blocks affecting input behaviour when block is positioned on left or right.
Resolve an issue with the data module's unsubscribe behavior which can result in a listener callback being invoked even after its been unsubscribed.
Remove the api-request JavaScriptJavaScriptJavaScript or JS is an object-oriented computer programming language commonly used to create interactive effects within web browsers.
