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/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/)󠁿 10.7 release ** Gutenberg [10.7](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/releases/tag/v10.7.0) was released today. It’s probably one of the biggest, if not the biggest in terms of number of PRs, releases to date. ## Feature freeze This week held the feature freeze for WordPress 5.8. From the wishlist [@youknowriad](https://profiles.wordpress.org/youknowriad/) mentioned the Navigation blockBlock Block 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. and the Post Author block as the ones being left out from the merge effort because of various issues. [@mkaz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mkaz/) mentioned that the navigation block is still searching for the best solution for its markup. [@paaljoachim](https://profiles.wordpress.org/paaljoachim/) mentioned the refactored gallery block as one other item that didn’t make it into 5.8. For the future, it was raised that WordPress should have a process that enables more often and early merges instead of doing everything all at once to avoid stressful situations. ## **WordPress 5.8 board** The GithubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner.

After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority. fixes and polish required and a few additional tasks like dev notesdev note Each important change in WordPress Core is documented in a developers note, (usually called dev note). Good dev notes generally include a description of the change, the decision that led to this change, and a description of how developers are supposed to work with that change. Dev notes are published on Make/Core blog during the beta phase of WordPress release cycle. Publishing dev notes is particularly important when plugin/ theme authors and WordPress developers need to be aware of those changes.In general, all dev notes are compiled into a Field Guide at the beginning of the release candidate phase. and such. The board will serve us to track all of that. ## Block based Widgets editor call for testing [Help Test the Widgets Editor for WordPress 5.8](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/05/12/help-test-the-widgets-editor-for-wordpress-5-8/)!

The focus now is on polishing and fixing bugs as we find them. * Now that the 1.0 version of this feature has been shipped and we need to revisit focuses, I thought it’d be a good time to pause these reports while we figure out the next steps.

There’s a PR in queue that will enable global styles item padding ([PR 31878](http://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/31878)). Also starting to look to helping with the List View component, which plays a key role in the block. **Block based navigation editor** [@getdave](https://profiles.wordpress.org/getdave/) shared this week’s update: * we’re continuing with our recent theme of lots of code quality and UIUI User interface fixes.Other than that we’re gearing up for addressing some of the “ bigger picture” issues on the Navigation Editor including: - Disabling / enabling features in the _block_ to better support the editor. - Adding support for missing hooksHooks In WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress. Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions.

A general consensus was that themes with PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 7.4 or higher templates will be called_ classic themes_ and themes with HTMLHTML HyperText Markup Language. The semantic scripting language primarily used for outputting content in web browsers. templates are called _block themes_.

Dev notes are published on Make/Core blog during the beta phase of WordPress release cycle.
