Improvements to accessibilityAccessibilityAccessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities.

The buttons block now mimicks the list behavior: enter twice on the last button goes to the next line (56134).
New keyboard shortcut in the list view (CMD+A on Mac, CTRL+A on Windows) to select all blocks (54899).
Design tools: block spacing for Quote block
The Quote block has gained support for layout and so it’s now possible to control the spacing of its inner blocks (56064).
Other notable highlights
Escape on Block Toolbar returns focus to Editor Canvas (55712).
Continue polishing the global styles revisionsRevisionsThe WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision.: return the user to the editor and global styles panel after a revision is applied (55881), improve copy text (55868), load unsaved revision in the preview (55880).
Patterns: in the front-end, they show embeds (55979), and the site editor’s pattern page now shows theme patterns specified in theme.json (55877).

Despite this significant milestone, the Gutenberg pluginPluginA 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 continues to iterate with a new version: Gutenberg 17.0.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility), along with a few new features.
Command Palette: improved contextual suggestions when editing patterns
The popular Command Palette keeps getting better! Since this release, editing patterns inside the site editor will suggest pattern-related commands that adjust better to the context, such as renaming and duplicating the pattern. Small quality-of-life changes like this are what make the Command Palette a joy to use, and future iterations will surely bring us many more improvements in this direction!
DropdownMenu: a glimpse into the next generation of WordPress components
As part of the ongoing efforts to refine the components that power the 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. Editor, Gutenberg 17.0 brings a new, alternative implementation of the DropdownMenu component based on the Ariakit open-source library. This implementation, although still experimental, offers a good glimpse at what the future of WordPress components holds.
As a reminder, you can check and play with this and other components in the Components Storybook!
Additional visual cues for LinkControl
When searching through the LinkControl, new Block and Home icons are added next to results related to the home and front pages, respectively. These visual cues intend to make finding what you’re looking for easier.

After a successful implementation of renaming Group blocks in Gutenberg 16.7 and feedback that the feature should be opened up, version 16.9 lets you rename nearly every block. A bonus for this feature is that theme authors can use this to label blocks in their theme templates and patterns.
There are a few blocks that cannot be renamed:
core/block
core/template-part
core/pattern
core/navigation
Duplicate and rename patterns and more
Pattern management is getting a lot of nice feature additions. For individual patterns, you can now rename or duplicate them:
Gutenberg 16.9 also introduces two new media categories: Audio and Video. This should help better organize patterns by media type.

Exciting new features include the new Font Library for font management within the editor, lots of enhancements to pattern management, simplified lightbox functionality, and many UXUXUser experience enhancements.
This release consists of 331 pull requests authored by 88 contributors, including 7 new contributors! 🥳 🎉
The new Font Library allows users to install, remove, and activate typographic fonts from various sources in WordPress via the editor. The installed fonts are enabled globally, independent of the active theme in the /wp-content/fonts directory, similar to the Media Library. As part of this new feature, users can add fonts manually by uploading them from their local machine or choosing from a list of Google Fonts. (#53884 & #53307)

(#54509) (#54509)
The support for Behaviors in the theme.json has also been deprecated and will be removed completely in Gutenberg 17.0:
Users who enabled the “lightbox” behavior in their theme.json file should migrate to a new syntax where the lightbox is simply a new block-level setting:
Note that the support for the “animation” value has been removed.
If you enabled the lightbox on any Image blocks using the previous Behaviors UI, please open and re-save posts that include those blocks to ensure they get migrated to the latest syntax.
With the removal of support for the “animation” value, all images will now only use the “expand” (zoom) animation, even if they had previously used the “fade” animation.
Background Image Control Added to Group Block
Background image support has been added to the Group block, in line with the color controls. (#53934 & #54439)

Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same., formerly known as Auto-inserted blocks
On activation, plugins are now equipped with the capability to auto-insert blocks, enhancing the integration and automation between plugins and the Gutenberg editor. Early versions of this experiment were called Auto-inserted blocks, but after some discussion, they have now been dubbed Block hooks. (#52969, #54029, #54024, #54147)

Auto-Inserting Blocks (BetaBetaA 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.)
Activating the new “Auto-inserting blocks” feature on the Gutenberg > Experiments page enables blocks to specify a location in which they will be automatically inserted. This applies both to the frontend and to the Site Editor (via the REST APIREST APIThe REST API is an acronym for the RESTful Application Program Interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data. It is how the front end of an application (think “phone app” or “website”) can communicate with the data store (think “database” or “file system”) https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/.), allowing for further user customization.
See an example in the video below of a “Like button” block that has been auto-inserted after each Comment Template block. You can also see how this block can be re-positioned using the existing block editor tools.
To try this new experimental feature, you can add an __experimentalAutoInsert field to the block.jsonJSONJSON, 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. file of a dynamic block of your liking. You have to specify the “anchor” block and the relative position (before, after, firstChild, or lastChild) for auto-insertion:
Note that the block will only be auto-inserted as long as the containing template or template part doesn’t have any modifications by the user. (This is by design, in order not to override a user’s choice to discard an auto-inserted block in the editor.)
This feature aims to improve the extensibility of block themes through plugins and continues to be actively developed.
For more details please see the tracking issue and the testing instructions in this PR. It would be great to hear your feedback! (#51449)
New Progress Bar Component
A new, horizontal ProgressBar component that can be used in various places. Whilst this new component has been merged with this release, it has not yet been applied in the Site Editor. It will likely replace the Spinner component that is currently used in the Site Editor loading experience. There is another PR for this work in #53032, aiming to introduce an indeterminate progress bar for the Site Editor, and further experimentation in #53399 to change it to a determinate progress bar. In the meantime, this component can be tested in Storybook. (#53030)
New Commands in the Command Palette
There are three new commands available in the command palette:
Show/hide block breadcrumbs
Enable/disable pre-publish checklist
Preview in a new tab
As well as expanding the functionality available in the new command palette, this effort starts to establish user experience patterns around commands, such as “show/hide” vs. “toggle”, and using snackbar notices more prominently. (#53073)
New Block Supports for Footnotes Block
The Footnotes block now includes support for updating the block’s link color, background color, and text color, as well as controls for typography, dimensions, and borders. The link and text color controls are expanded by default, as they will likely be used more frequently; the other new controls are collapsed by default. (#52897 & #53044)

Previously on the Patterns page the header bar containing the search box scrolled out of view when you scrolled down the page.

“What’s new in 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/…” posts (labeled with the #gutenberg-new tag) are posted following every Gutenberg release biweekly, showcasing new features included in each release. As a reminder, here’s an overview of different ways to keep up with Gutenberg.
Building on our work to harmonize reusable blocks and patterns that started with the previous release, we’re continuing to make the Patterns section (previously known as “Library”) more intuitive: The pattern 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. now includes a pattern’s sync status in its “Details” section.
The pattern creation modal in the Patterns section has been updated to be consistent with the one triggered from the editor.
The “Custom Patterns” subsection has been renamed to “My Patterns” and given a more prominent position at the top of both the Patterns sidebar, and of the inserter. Finally, the icons in the grid items in the library were updated to indicate if a given template part is a headerHeaderThe header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes., footer, or uncategorized.
Footnotes
First introduced in Gutenberg 16.1, Footnotes have received a number of 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 to make them more reliable. Furthermore, it is now possible to manually insert the Footnotes 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. – among other things; this makes it a lot easier to re-insert Footnotes after deleting them.
Vertical text orientation
Themes can now opt into a new Text Orientation feature (available via a block’s Typography settings panel) that allows text to be written vertically. This new feature is a first step towards full support of vertically written languages as well as for decorative purposes in website design.
The “Home” template was easily conflated with the actual homepage, so we changed it to “Blogblog(versus network, site) Home”.
The quick inserter’s “Browse All” button, which had gone missing due to a regressionregressionA software bug that breaks or degrades something that previously worked. Regressions are often treated as critical bugs or blockers. Recent regressions may be given higher priorities. A "3.6 regression" would be a bug in 3.6 that worked as intended in 3.5. in a previous Gutenberg version, has been restored.
Finally, we’ve added a new Gutenberg Experiment to explore a potential path towards the deprecation of TinyMCE. When enabled, it prevents loading TinyMCE assets and Classic blocks by default, only enabling them if usage is detected. The update also handles scenarios where posts contain Classic blocks or users input raw HTMLHTMLHyperText Markup Language. The semantic scripting language primarily used for outputting content in web browsers., offering conversion options or reloading to use the Classic block.
