WordPress 5.2 BetaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. 1 was scheduled to be released yesterday, March 21, 2019.

Both of these tickets have patches that are ready to commit: they implement the functionality that they’re expected to, any remaining issues with these features can be addressed during the beta period.
