The WordPress core development team builds WordPress! Follow this site for general updates, status reports, and the occasional code debate. There’s lots of ways to contribute:
This release introduces several under the hood improvements to support more plugin opportunities — extending existing blocks, limiting blocks available, preventing a given meta-box from appearing in Gutenberg, etc — as well as allowing developers to specify templates, a list of predefined blocks. It also includes design iterations, mobile improvements, and initial work on a more rewarding publishing flow.
@wordpress import path for application entry points.Example for how to provide a template in a CPT:
function register_book_type() {
$args = array(
'public' => true,
'label' => 'Books',
'show_in_rest' => true,
'template' => array(
array( 'core/image' ),
array( 'core/heading', array(
'placeholder' => 'Author...',
) ),
array( 'core/paragraph', array(
'placeholder' => 'Add book description...',
) ),
),
);
register_post_type( 'book', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_book_type' );Soon you'll be able to quickly create a block using a command like wp scaffold block my-block --theme with WP-CLI. It'll setup a new block registration with the passed slug and theme (or plugin) as the namespace. This will all be added to the handbook.
This next release includes several features and improvements on many levels. We are adding a way to switch between the header toolbar and toolbars attached to the block by opening the toggle menu at the top right and choosing the behaviour. There has been convincing arguments for both approaches so we want to make it easier to test both easily. Other notable features include the ability to transform multiple blocks of the same type into other blocks (like many images into a gallery). There are improvements to meta-boxes (dropping iframes), foundational work for nested blocks and global blocks, many design updates, and initial integration with JS hooks.
permalink_structure option to wp-json. (Corresponding trac ticket.) Several REST API compat issues are going to be addressed like this. This allows Gutenberg to implement permalink editing.As Daylight Saving Time ended for all countries it applied to (finally) this Sunday, November 5th, we will shift the time for the #core-editor chat starting this week on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 at 18:00 UTC / Wednesday, November 8, 2017,18:00 UTC. See you then!

needs-dev-note This release includes long awaited meta-boxes support (needs testing!), improves the writing flow with tweaks to block navigation, adds the ability to insert blocks between other blocks quickly, and groups block level actions in a proper menu. It also makes Gutenberg the default editor if you have the plugin activated—a “Classic Editor” plugin to disable Gutenberg is also ready for testing.
wp:core/gallery becomes wp:gallery.With this release Gutenberg allows you to make edits and tweaks to the HTML of individual blocks, without having to hunt for the relevant code in the full document view.
useOnce block API feature.In 1.3 a feedback form was added to the Gutenberg sidebar menu. In the past week there have been 12 responses from it. Out of that, 4 bugs have been reported and 2 enhancements proposed.
