“What’s new in 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/…” posts (labeled with the #gutenberg-newtagtagA 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.)) are posted following every Gutenberg release on a biweekly basis, discovering new features included in each release. As a reminder, here’s an overview of different ways to keep up with Gutenberg and the Full Site Editing project.
Gutenberg 14.4 has been released and is available for download!
It introduces a distraction-free mode for text-based content creation, it redesigns the main pattern inserter, it continues to improve recent responsive design features such as Fluid Typography and much more!
Fun fact: Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1440 and this version of Gutenberg is the 14.4.0
Explore easier navigation and larger previews of patterns in the Inserter
A new design offers a split view between categories and patterns, improving the navigation between categories and providing larger previews for patterns, resulting in improved discoverability and at a glance context.
Enjoy distraction free writing
Gutenberg 14.4 includes a new mode that reduces various parts of the editor interface, allowing for a more focused writing experience. When enabled, the sidebars are closed and toolbars fade away, leaving your content to take center stage. You can toggle this mode on/off as you’d like, depending on what you’re looking for.
Control image captions from the 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. toolbar
With this release, you can now add or remove a caption for an image directly from the block toolbar. If a caption has already been set, it will be included by default when the image is added to your content.
Lock the ability to edit the navigation block
The Navigation block offers an additional option when locking to restrict the ability to edit the content on its inner blocks (links and submenus). This helps further curate the experience, especially if you’re taking advantage of the ability to use block template parts in classic themes.
Take advantage of improvements to Fluid Typography
In Gutenberg 13.8, Fluid Typography for font size presets was introduced to allow themers to generate fluid font size presets in theme.jsonJSONJSON, 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.. This release of Gutenberg builds on this work by automatically converting custom font sizes to fluid values when fluid typography is enabled.

AccessibilityAccessibilityAccessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers).
