@Leonardus Nugraha, 6.3 release squad docs team,

published the Dev Notes tracking issue for WordPress 6.3. It’s the first time, Leo is working on this, so he definitely requires your help finding all the PRs that would need a dev notedev 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..

This is more of an early pre-announcement, but @fullofcaffeine has been working on a PR that will enable us to publish a point releaseMinor Release A set of releases or versions having the same minor version number may be collectively referred to as .x , for example version 5.2.x to refer to versions 5.2, 5.2.1, 5.2.3, and all other versions in the 5.2 (five dot two) branch of that software. Minor Releases often make improvements to existing features and functionality. for a previous version series even if a new stable release has already been published. (E.g. if the current Gutenberg version is 15.9.1, and we discover a serious 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. in 15.8.1, the changeset will allow us to publish a 15.8.2 release with a bugfix.) Since it is a somewhat substantial change to the release GHA workflow, we’re planning to land it only after GB 16.1 has been published, in order not to interfere with WP 6.3. We’re currently targetting July 5 (see). Here’s some more info shared by @fullofcaffeine.

@Hanzala 

“[I] missed last few meetings due to some work stuff but it feels good to finally join today’s meeting. Hope to contribute on some task in a coordinated way. just wanted to share that”.

Birgit: “It’s good to have you join us today and we are all looking forward to your contributions. Bangladesh and WPDeveloper have been contributing quite a lot lately  Especially for 6.2. Thank you!

Hanzala: “Yeah many people are really interested. Hope we can find some impactful contributors.”

These are used to auto-generate the changelog.
  • Wanted to request that when folks create/review a PR, to please make sure they add a type label (i.e. [Type] Bug, [Type] Enhancement etc.).

The goal is to get each page updated and accurate as well as adding missing info.

I just wanted to put it out there that if anybody deeply familiar with the data api wants to pair up and tackle a longstanding issue with how terms are getting assigned to posts in the editor I’d love to help / tackle that together.
See the following issue: taxonomy data in core store doesn’t get invalidated when new terms get added.
A draft PR has been created here: Fix refactor flat term selector to use data api for creating new terms It could use a look.

Task Coordination

@annezazu mentioned:  “There’s a new, very simple “UX and Polish” board that some of us are trying to curate for some developers to dive into.Any issue on this board should be actionable by developers specifically, not add any new features, and not require additional design thought or help.” 

@mamaduka mentioned “I’ve been debugging flaky e2e tests and helping with reviews this week.”

Open Floor – extended edition

@proxxim posted on the agenda the following idea:

“The `templateLock` for feature `innerBlocks` might need more refinement” and provided the following use case:
“We want the client to be able to insert a maximum amount of two buttons in an innerBlock. The client should also be able to insert just one or zero buttons as well. The current implementation of templateLock does not offer a configuration option for such a use case.”

@aurooba commented: “This would be handy for a lot of different custom blocks I often also create where you need to maximum number of innerBlocks, rather than a specific amount.”, followed by another use case: a custom 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. to feature posts from another custom post typeCustom Post Type WordPress can hold and display many different types of content. A single item of such a content is generally called a post, although post is also a specific post type. Custom Post Types gives your site the ability to have templated posts, to simplify the concept.. The design directive explicitly asked to not allow more than 6, less than 6 was okay. “If the templateLock featured had a max property, that would make it pretty simple.” she wrote.

Another use case: “Having a max (and even a minimum) is a pretty common pattern most folks coming from the world of ACF and similar plugins are used to. For example, the repeater field in ACF lets you define a minimum and maximum for its rows.” (also by @aurooba)

@fabiankaegy chimed in with an issue that’s already on 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 be the repository owner. https://github.com/ repo: Add ability to limit the number of items within an Inner Blocks area. @proxxim and @aurooba should join the discussion to give developer more scenarios to be sure a new API would cover the use cases.
