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.
Add a Variation Picker to the Group 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. Placeholder
When a new Group block gets inserted into the page it now presents the user with a variation picker to instantly choose which type of layout they want to use.
Add List-Based Editing to Navigation Block
Managing the order of menu items just got a lot easier by allowing you to modify the arrangement of the individual menu items in a list view right inside the block settings sidebarSidebarA sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme.. This works similarly to the list view but is isolated to just the current navigation you are editing. Clicking on the “Edit” button selects the menu item in the editor so you can edit it inline.
Hide Block Toolbar when Spacing Visualizer is Shown
The spacing visualizer has seen some improvements in the last few releases already. In 14.6 it now automatically hides the blocks toolbar as soon as you hover over the spacing setting allowing you to focus on the content whilst you adjust the spacing.
Transform Paragraph into Heading via Keyboard Shortcut
You can now easily transform paragraph blocks into headings using the new control + option + 1 – 6 keyboard shortcut.
Update the Design of the Focal Point Handle
In order to make it more clear that the focal point picker is selecting a broader region instead of a fine point the handle was updated to better fit the precision of the input.
Fluid typography: Adjust font size min and max rules
The minimum and maximum value calculations for fluid font sizes have been adjusted to prevent inconsistencies in certain viewports, such as having a bigger maximum than the custom size setting. You can check the github issue for the full set of rules.
Define a Minimum Height
The new “Minimum Height” dimension control is now available for the Group and Post Content block. For example, it can be used to make sure the site footer always stays at the bottom of the viewport.
Generate New Color Pallets Automatically
Coming up with the perfect color palette is hard. Sometimes you just want to explore some new quick ideas. This new “Randomize colors” feature is a subtle algorithm that can generate alternative color palettes on the fly.

@andraganescu noticing that the meeting was the lowest engagement and participation ever recorded, confirming quite a long and steady trend of this meeting loosing its purpose, raised that we should make the meeting twice a month and also reshape its usefulness.
This is also a requirement because 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/ appears to be managed by the community much better than a couple of years a go:

As a reminder, here’s an overview of different ways to keep up with Gutenberg and the Full Site Editing project.
Gutenberg 14.5 has been released and is available for download!
It consolidates the list view and document information, expands margin and padding support while improving spacing visualizers, and sets the groundwork for future releases with numerous code quality improvements and bugbugA 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.
Access the list view and document information all from one panel
Prior to Gutenberg 14.5, there were separate icons in the Editor toolbar for “List View” and “Details.” The Details popover presented a document outline and information like the character and word count. The List View panel displayed a hierarchical view of all blocks in the document.
The Details popover and List View panel have now been combined into a single panel offering a more streamlined way to manage the current document. This new “Document Overview” panel is accessible by clicking on the original List View icon in the toolbar.
Confidently edit 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. spacing using improved visualizers
Configuring block spacing (margin, padding) can be tricky, especially when determining how the spacing of one block will impact those blocks around it. Spacing visualizers significantly improve this experience by allowing you to “visualize” each change you make.
Gutenberg 14.5 enhances this functionality by displaying visualizers as soon as you hover over a spacing control rather than just when edited. This is a small change, but an important one since most CoreCoreCore is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. blocks now support spacing controls. The release itself adds spacing to numerous comment-related blocks.

@priethor – The complete WP 6.2 roadmap is not available yet, and there is no release date for 6.2 (we closed the 6.1 release around 12 hours ago), so it’s hard to dive specifics other than we should all push forward to finish the main Phase 2 priorities and be able to say FSE is “ready, out of BetaBetaA pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions.
