Default git branch for wordpress/wordpress-develop

Last year the decision was made to move the default branches for official WordPress GitHub repositories from master to trunk. The necessary systems work for the svn to git sync has been completed and as of today, https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop and git://develop.git.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org// have been updated to reflect the new default branchbranch A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses branches to store the latest development code for each major release (3.9, 4.0, etc.). Branches are then updated with code for any minor releases of that branch. Sometimes, a major version of WordPress and its minor versions are collectively referred to as a "branch", such as "the 4.0 branch"..

If you have a local checkout, you can take the following steps to update the default branch

$ git checkout master
$ git branch -m master trunk
$ git fetch
$ git branch --unset-upstream
$ git branch -u origin/trunk
$ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/trunk

Please note that https://github.com/wordpress/wordpress and git://core.git.wordpress.org/ along with a few others on github have not been updated yet. This post will be updated when that move is complete.

Thanks to @desrosj for reviewing this post.

Performance team meeting summary – November, 9 2021

@justinahinon led the meeting on this agenda. You can also read the Slack logs.

Updates about focus groups POCs (point of contacts)

@aristath and @gziolo are the POCs for the JavaScriptJavaScript JavaScript or JS is an object-oriented computer programming language commonly used to create interactive effects within web browsers. WordPress makes extensive use of JS for a better user experience. While PHP is executed on the server, JS executes within a user’s browser. https://www.javascript.com focus group, with the support of @sergiomdgomes.

@josephscott and @wp-source are the Measurement focus group POCs.

@adamsilverstein and @audrasjb are the POCs for respectively the Images and Site Health focus groups.

Logistics, operations and projects prioritization for the focus groups

@flixos90 raised that we need to figure out the project priorities for each focus group. This document template has been prepared with some pointers on items to think about when writing down the focus group priorities. It also considers the others aspects of the projects as the technical complexity, the impact, the potential blockers, the timeline, etc.

Using a document makes asynchronous communications easier, and ad-hoc conversations can take place in the #performance channel on SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. The POC of each focus group can now create a copy of the template and share it in the channel to allow other contributors to collaborate.

@mattchowning

 Shipped

  • Added Media File and Attachment Page options to the native Image 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. Link To menu

Improvements and Fixes

  • Added more integration tests for embed blocks
  • Added a Fixed Height context to improve inner block handling of fixed heights

In Progress

  • Final tweaks to the Embed block so we can stamp this first iteration on that block as complete
  • GSS Font size, line height, colors.

Global Styles

@youknowriad

  • we’ve been working on the APIAPI An 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. endpoints to prepare things for CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. merge.
  • The next steps for us are going to be to work on the Core Patches for both Global Styles and FSE (block themes) infrastructure.

Styling

@jorgefilipecosta

  • We also continued the interactions of the design of the styling UIUI User interface
  • For example we just merged a PR that shows multiple color palettes core, theme and user (if a user one exists).
  • The new user color palette editor also passed by some iterations and should be ready.

Task Coordination

Note: Anyone reading this summary outside of the meeting, please drop a comment in the post summary, if you can/want to help with something.

@oandregal

  • During the past week, I’ve been focused on reviews to move 5.9 tasks forward, bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority. fixes, and a couple of bigger things:
  • Migrate theme.json v1 to v2. Existing themes with theme.jsonJSON JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a minimal, readable format for structuring data. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML. v1 still work as expected, but we’re preparing things to land in 5.9, which means cutting a new version for theme.json.
  • The PR to show colors from different sources uncovered a dormant bug that did not have any effect until now and that we’re fixing here. The fix is to stop retrofitting the filtered settings from the block_editor_settings into theme.json and instead use the theme supports directly. This may affect plugins that used the block_editor_settings to change theme support values, and they should be updated to use the after_theme_setup filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks.

  • For next week, I plan to keep helping with reviews, bug fixes, and porting code to WordPress core.

@santosguillamot

We have made some progress on the Post Comments blocks. All the info can be found in its tracking issue and its GitHub project. This was the progress made during the last couple of weeks:

Please note that this won’t be included in WordPress 5.9. There is still important functionality missing and it hasn’t been tested properly. For now, we will keep working on the aspects left in the Comment Query LoopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post. https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop block and start working on the blocks related to the Comments pagination.

Some changes in WordPress point releases are the result of backporting code from trunk to the release branch. the global styles/theme.json infrastructure into core

@kjellr

I’m primarily on the default theme, but I’d like to highlight two more global issues I’ve been testing that I think could use more feedback and ideas: 

  • Post/page editor text bumps up against the screen by default. This seems like a regressionregression A software bug that breaks or degrades something that previously worked. Regressions are often treated as critical bugs or blockers. Recent regressions may be given higher priorities. A "3.6 regression" would be a bug in 3.6 that worked as intended in 3.5., and it effects a large portion of themes.
  • Layout settings break content for users who migrate to a block theme.
