A big thank you to @mikachan for handling the Gutenberg pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. 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.

The WebFonts 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. – work is currently underway on the new Font Library. The initial Fonts Library: Backend PR is currently being worked on, and there are more related issues in [Tracking] Fonts Library. Stage 1: Google and Local fonts. It would be great to get more reviews on the backend PR, and also some more input on this discussion about where to store the list of Google Fonts. Thanks!

I’m working on accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (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). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) enhancements around 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. to try and address some outstanding concerns. Also exploring ways to improve the responsive layout of the Navigation block. Still at the thinking/exploration phase. Also re-focusing a bit on allowing custom labels for items in List View.

I’m Andrei, I’m one of the developers of the Blocksy theme.
Question: is there way to bypass namespacing the styles for some of the $styles from the editor settings?
From the discussion that happened a new issue was created:
Allow inserting un-namespaced editor styles into the iframe.

@proxxim

I wonder if it might be possible to shine some light on this discussion: 
Query Block doesn’t seem to provide settings to a Post Template in a pattern/template-part
I tried to use synced patterns in the Post Template block but there seems to be a disconnect on the front-end as long as it’s a pattern.
I registered some block variations for the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress./button block and added isDefault: true to one of them, but when adding a new core/buttons block in the editor that variation is not used as the inserted button.
Issue created here: core/buttons does not respect isDefault for core/button variation.
Here is an associated issue: core/button variations doesn’t appear in core/buttons inserter.

The Fonts 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. is being replaced by Font Face to support the new Font Library. Font Face has been merged into trunktrunk A directory in Subversion containing the latest development code in preparation for the next major release cycle. If you are running "trunk", then you are on the latest revision. but will only load into memory when Font Library is available. Making all aware that the new approach no longer includes register or enqueue of fonts, as plugins will integrate into the Font Library instead. And Font Face becomes read only of 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. merged data, which will eliminate issues with what fonts appear in typography pickers.

This work is very low level. The new Font Face will not impact the UIUI User interface directly. Indirectly, its impact is on printing the font-face CSSCSS Cascading Style Sheets. so that fonts visually look correctly, ie use their font files to render properly. That CSS generator and printer role though has not changed from the Fonts API. What has changed? Where plugins introduce their fonts for user consideration and selection. That role moves to the Font Library.

@hellofromtonya

FYI: Fonts API will not get replaced until the Font Library is introduced. And this work is not being introduced into WP 6.3, as it’s still experimental.

WP 6.3 is dropping PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 5.6.20 or higher 5.6 support, raising the minimum supported version to 7.0.
Gutenberg though needs to run on the last 2 WP major releases, meaning it can’t yet drop PHP 5.6 support.
The 2 PHP 5.6 PHPUnit CI jobs running on WordPress trunk have been removed from Gutenberg. Why? They were failing because Core no longer runs on PHP 5.6.

  • Update your PRs if they are failing for PHP 5.6 CI jobs.
  • When to drop PHP 5.6 support.

Discussion is here: Increase the PHP minimum supported version to 7.0

Maybe we can keep track some of those PRs in separate board. Bug fixes are usually easier to review, unless they rewrite the whole editor

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..

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.
