The WordPress 6.5 betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions.

Following our guidelines, we will be scheduling the Gutenberg 17.7.0 RCrelease candidate One of the final stages in the version release cycle, this version signals the potential to be a final release to the public. Also see alpha (beta). for Friday 9th. It will represent the last Gutenberg release that is going to be included fully into WordPress 6.5.

Additionally, and in order to streamline the merge into WordPress CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress.

If you have a feature that is behind an experimental flag and is planned to be included on WordPress 6.5, consider removing the experimental flag as soon as possible and stabilize the feature for Gutenberg 17.6.0 RC which is planned for Wednesday January 24th.
Start working on the Gutenberg PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 7.4 or higher backports if you have been pinged on this issue as soon as possible.

We thank you in advance for your help in ensuring a smooth Editor release for Beta 1. If you need support or unclear about timing or process, please feel free to comment on this post or reach out to editor tech release leads: myself or @youknowriad.

Does this mean that things that are only in a release candidaterelease candidate One of the final stages in the version release cycle, this version signals the potential to be a final release to the public. Also see alpha (beta). but have never been in the stable release of GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress.

It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ will be in BetaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions.

  Yes, it’s very similar to any CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. commit that happens before 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, it has not been tested in any pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party release either. It also the process that we’ve had always followed.
  
  What I would like to recommend developers to start doing is to start the back porting process for most php files earlier which will prevent us from having last minute blockers and issues when merging changes from GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress.
