What’s new in Gutenberg 20.3? (18 February)

Gutenberg 20.3 is out of the oven and ready to download.

As with most releases since 20.0 this release has also primarily been focused on fixing bugs. But of course there are still always some features that join the mix.

Highlights

The query loop 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. now has a new option to ignore sticky posts. When selected, the query block ignores whether or not a post has the sticky option enabled.

What’s new in Gutenberg 20.0? (10 January)

This is GutenbergGutenberg The 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/ 20.0, which means it’s the 200th release of 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.

It’s been almost exactly eight years since the initial commit to the Gutenberg repository and about four years since we celebrated the 100th release.

There is a lot happening in the WordPress world these days. But I want to use this moment to take a step back and just say thank you! Thank you to all the individual contributors that have spent countless hours over the past eight years steadily moving this project along. Whether you are still an active contributor, or you have long moved on to work on something else, thank you for all your work. ❤️

Even though this is the 200th release of the Gutenberg plugin, the actual release itself is the same as any other release in the past eight years. It includes new features, enhancements, and bugfixes. The remainder of this “What’s new in Gutenberg” post will follow the regular format.

The “What’s new in Gutenberg” posts (#gutenberg-new) appear on a biweekly basis after every Gutenberg release, and showcase the latest features and improvements. 

Interested in learning more? Here’s an overview of how you can keep up with news and events related to Gutenberg and the 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. Editor.

Gutenberg 20.0 is out of the oven and ready to download.

Enhancements for the Style Book

The Style Book got a few improvements in this release. It now features different sections for typography, colors, and individual blocks that all activate when the user navigates to those menu items. Additionally, the Style Book now its own URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org (#67811), so you can access it directly.

Starter Patterns get a new UIUI User interface

We’ve received a lot of feedback that the old Modal based approach for starter patterns caused more annoyance than it helped. So, in an effort to improve the experience, the modal has been removed, and instead, if starter patterns exist, the page will load in the zoomed-out mode with the pattern inserter already opened.

Easily set a Page to become the Posts Page

Similar to the “Set Homepage” action that was added in a recent release, it is now possible to easily set a page to become the posts page using a post action in the dataviews for pages.

Display Block Type Badge for renamed blocks

To clarify what block you are currently editing, the block type is displayed as a badge next to the custom name when a block is renamed.

More Highlights

This installation type has shared users tables, and creates separate database tables for each blog (wp_posts becomes wp_0_posts). See also network, blog, site installations allowing developers to easily bootstrap multisite environments, especially for ease of feature testing and quality control. (67845)

Reliable Sync Protocol PR: Live Demo & Discussion for Collaborative Editing

On January 6th at 7PM UTC, a group gathered for a demo and discussion with Kevin Jahns, the author of Yjs, a popular framework for building collaborative applications. In this session, we went in depth on an in progress pull request that implements a reliable sync protocol for collaborative editing. We also all collaborated on a post live as a fun way to test limits! Thank you to all who joined and for Kevin for hosting. To follow future efforts in this space, please follow this dedicated GitHub issue and/or join the #feature-realtime-collaboration slackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. channel.

Recording

Notes

Notes are mainly powered by an AI note taker so please leave a comment if anything feels wildly off.

Overview

Kevin Jahns presented a demonstration on utilizing Yjs to enhance real-time editing capabilities in WordPress, addressing existing challenges such as content synchronization and potential conflicts during simultaneous edits. He introduced features like automatic conflictconflict A conflict occurs when a patch changes code that was modified after the patch was created. These patches are considered stale, and will require a refresh of the changes before it can be applied, or the conflicts will need to be resolved. resolution and a heartbeat 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. for near real-time updates, emphasizing that while the current implementation may not fully replicate the Google Docs experience, it significantly improves user trust and collaboration. Participants were encouraged to explore Yjs further and consider its applications in their projects.

Jahns discussed the technical obstacles in implementing collaborative editing, particularly the lack of WebSocket support across various PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 7.4 or higher engines and the limitations of WebRTC, which requires multiple servers for reliable operation. He proposed using HTTPHTTP HTTP is an acronym for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web and this protocol defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands. requests for syncing while allowing WebRTC as an optional enhancementenhancement Enhancements are simple improvements to WordPress, such as the addition of a hook, a new feature, or an improvement to an existing feature.. Additionally, he highlighted issues with 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 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/ editor, suggesting the creation of a special editor binding for Yjs to improve synchronization. Security concerns regarding the WebRTC setup were also raised, with a focus on the need for role-based collaboration restrictions to prevent document manipulation.

The session also covered the storage and management of Yjs documents, with Jahns explaining that Yjs content is stored as comments in post content, facilitating straightforward revision creation. He acknowledged the challenges of managing real-time changes and the impact of Yjs documents on content size. Discussions included the limitations of WebRTC, particularly its reliance on costly TURN servers, and the need for ongoing testing to ensure the reliability of collaborative editing features. Jahns emphasized the importance of prioritizing collaborative editing to enhance the editor’s evolution and received appreciation for his transparency and commitment to the Gutenberg project.

Real-Time Editing Demo with Yjs
Kevin Jahns presented a demo on real-time editing with Yjs, emphasizing its role in enhancing collaborative features in WordPress. He explained the limitations of the current WordPress editor regarding content synchronization and introduced new features like automatic conflict resolution and the heartbeat API for better real-time collaboration.

Collaborative Editing in WordPress
Kevin Jahns addressed the difficulties of enabling collaborative editing in WordPress, noting that WebSockets are not universally supported across PHP engines. He explained that while WebRTC could be used as a fallback, it is not reliable enough for all users. Instead, he proposed using HTTP requests for syncing, with WebRTC as a progressive enhancement for those who can utilize it.

Block Synchronization and Customization Challenges
Kevin Jahns addressed synchronization issues with block types (and ran into an error with block validation in the process!). He explained that while standard elements like text and images function properly, custom block types may encounter difficulties due to Gutenberg’s design, which does not fully accommodate changes from multiple peers. Jahns emphasized the need for a special editor binding for Yjs to enhance synchronization.

Discussion on Signaling Server and Security Concerns
Kevin Jahns confirmed that Jorge’s signaling server implementation in WordPress remains unchanged. He raised security concerns regarding the WebRTC setup, highlighting that it permits document manipulation by anyone with read access. Jorge noted that to make the system production-ready, several security measures need to be implemented, particularly around user roles and collaboration.

Yjs Document Storage and Revision Management
Kevin Jahns responded to Frank’s inquiry about the Yjs implementation and its impact on content revisionsRevisions The 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.. He detailed that Yjs documents are stored as comments within the post content, which facilitates the creation of revisions upon saving. Additionally, he mentioned that future comparisons of revisions could be made using Yjs documents, similar to a git diff, and that attribution for content creation is also supported.

Discussion on Yjs Document Implementation and Security Concerns
Kevin Jahns highlighted the downside of Yjs documents inflating content size but reassured that normal users wouldn’t see the comments. Aaron Jorbin pointed out the security implications of allowing users to input unfiltered HTMLHTML HyperText Markup Language. The semantic scripting language primarily used for outputting content in web browsers.. Kevin also mentioned the potential for filtering user visibility of Yjs comments and the need to track edits made by users, which currently lacks a backend solution.

WebRTC vs. WebSocket for Collaborative Editing in WordPress
Kevin Jahns explained that WebRTC is not a reliable option for collaborative editing in WordPress due to its dependency on multiple servers and potential blocking by companies. He suggested using HTTP requests as a baseline for collaboration, which provides a satisfactory experience for most users. For those needing more reliability, he mentioned the possibility of implementing WebSocket servers, which could also enhance security and authentication.

Discussion on WebRTC and TURN Servers
Kevin Jahns highlighted the overhead of WebRTC and the expense of hosting TURN servers, indicating that they are not a viable option for everyone. Jorge shared his thoughts about the reliability of TURN servers from providers like Google and Twilio. They noted that while STUN servers are affordable and public, TURN servers are costly and can lead to misuse.

Collaborative Editing and Yjs Integration
Kevin Jahns highlighted the challenges faced with collaborative editing in the current editor setup, particularly issues with image handling and the undo-redo functionality. He stressed the necessity of prioritizing collaborative editing and proposed using Yjs as a solution to enhance these features. Kevin also mentioned that recent updates to Gutenberg have caused disruptions, indicating a need for better testing and support.

Yjs Integration and Block Syncing Challenges
Kevin Jahns explained the process of syncing textual content through 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., noting that changes in one block can overwrite changes in another. He acknowledged existing issues with tables and galleries, indicating that these would be addressed in future pull requests. Kevin also highlighted the importance of creating a robust integration with Yjs for better collaboration.

Style Book in classic themes

The Style Book now appears in supported classic themes under Appearance > Design > Styles in the adminadmin (and super admin) menu. 

Support is available for classic themes that either support editor styles via add_theme_support( 'editor-styles' ) or have a 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. file. 

The Style Book provides a comprehensive overview of your site’s colors, typography, and block styles in an organized layout. Each block example and style group is labeled, making it easy to preview and understand your theme’s current design settings. Think of it as if your theme threw a party, and all the design elements showed up wearing name tags. 😀

For classic themes that support the Style Book, site patterns have been relocated to Appearance > Design > Patterns, consolidating all design-related functionality from the Site Editor into one place. Previously, patterns were listed under Appearance > Patterns.

Introducing the Query Total block

You know how many results are in your queries, but do your site’s readers? The new Query Total block is here to help.

When added within a Query LoopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post. https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop. block, the Query Total block displays the number of results the query has returned, or, alternatively, the current range in a set of paginated results.

What’s new in Gutenberg 19.8? (04 December)

“What’s new in GutenbergGutenberg The 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 on a biweekly basis, showcasing new features included in each release. As a reminder, here’s an overview of different ways to keep up with Gutenberg and the Editor.


Gutenberg 19.8. has been released and is available for download!

The latest release of 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 entails a myriad of user experience improvements for selecting section styles, image manipulation and font handling. The DataViews layouts also received important improvements. 

Table of Contents

Section styles selector in toolbar 

In zoom-out mode, users can now apply different sections styles and designs directly from the toolbar, cycling through them and inspecting them in the context of the rest of the page. This enhancementenhancement Enhancements are simple improvements to WordPress, such as the addition of a hook, a new feature, or an improvement to an existing feature. streamlines the decision-making and production process. (#67140)

Font family preview in dropdown

Another user experience improvement can be found in the list of fonts: Each font family is now previewed in the font picker dropdown and gives users a better indication as to what the font will look like. (67118)

The outcome of the Image manipulation methods are now better communicated in the 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. editor. The success notices are now displayed at the bottom of the editor. The notices also come with a handy Undo link to revert to the original if necessary. (67314)(67312)

Other Notable Highlights

DataViews improvements

This release also contains some Data View improvements. For instance,  the table layout received density options: A user can modify the amount of whitespace that is displayed per row on three levels: comfortable, balanced and compact.  (67170)  Developers working with the Dataviews can now make use of a new 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. to programmatically  register and unregister fields for the various display methods. (67175).

Update on Phase 3: Collaboration efforts

Over the last year, Phase 3 of the GutenbergGutenberg The 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/ roadmap has begun to take form and with it comes a need for an update around what’s been done, how to follow along, and what to expect going forward. This post seeks to provide answers at a high level view of these questions. As a reminder Phase 3 is centered around fostering seamless collaboration, tying together the user experience, and streamlining the content management flows to improve the way creators and teams work together within WordPress. As work progresses, feedback is needed and welcomed to ensure broader adoption.

Real-time collaboration

Over the last few months, Kevin Jahns, the author of Yjs, a popular framework for building collaborative applications has been sponsored by Automattic to work on real-time collaboration, after an initial experiment landed. He kicked off his efforts with some research and dialogue in this discussion issue. More recently, he’s pulled together some prototypes ahead of sharing a full proposal for how to proceed. Right now, consider this work as being in a strong experimental stage without a final approach. The next step is to get the initial approach into a PR for folks to give feedback on and discuss openly. 

Below is a demo showing syncing content only relying on HTTPHTTP HTTP is an acronym for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web and this protocol defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands. APIs with the autosave interval set to 3 seconds. Because it relies on HTTP APIs, this demo would work on all WordPress instances:

Going a step further, you can see more demos in a recent update including adding y-webrtc into the experience to show how real time collaboration would work for users who can establish a peer-to-peer WebRTC connection.

Follow along in this dedicated GitHub issue and/or in the #feature-realtime-collaboration slackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. channel.

Async collaboration: In-line comments

An initial experiment for block-level inline comments landed with Gutenberg 19.6, breaking ground on the first of many async collaboration upgrades. At this point, another iteration on this initial feature is already planned and underway to refine the current experience further. If you’d like to help test and shape the feature further, stay tuned for a dedicated call for testing or start testing today with this WordPress Playground instance and open issues in the Gutenberg 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/ repository. The aim is to get early feedback and quickly iterate in order to land this new feature in an upcoming major WordPress release. Below is a look at the near term design slated to be shipped next with visuals for adding a comment, leaving a comment, toggling to see resolved comments, and the resulting view when looking at resolved comments:

The post editor open to a paragraph block selected and the "more" menu open. The "Add comment" option is highlighted as if to select it and a few comments are visible in the right sidebar.
The post editor open to a paragraph block selected and an in progress comment being written in the right sidebar. Other comments are visible.
The post editor open to a paragraph block selected and the right sidebar visible showing a comments section with a toggle open to select "Show resolved" or "Show mine". Show resolved is highlighted.
The post editor open to a paragraph block selected and the right sidebar visible showing a comments section with a toggle open to select "Show resolved" or "Show mine". Show resolved is selected and some greyed out resolved comments are visible.

Adminadmin (and super admin) redesign: DataView & DataForm

DataViews is the foundational component of the initial overall admin design efforts. By design, these views are being built out only in the Site Editor, with a few efforts branching out including an experiment for a new, separate Posts experience using Data Views and an early Media Library powered by Data Views proof of concept.  

As a next step of the initial development of DataViews, the more recent DataForm API was later introduced in Gutenberg 18.8 with the aim to reduce expected duplication to create forms in Data Views. Work has continued progressively from there with DataViews and DataForm components influencing each other’s development. You can view each in their respective Storybook views: DataViews and DataForm.

Both of these components have been created with extensibility at the heart of everything being built! For now, 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 and agency developers can already start using the DataViews component for their WordPress customizations with two different Developer Blogblog (versus network, site) tutorials to get you started: Using Data Views to display and interact with data in plugins and Actions from Data Views: Adding images to the Media Library. If you want to go on a deeper dive, watch a recent hallway hangout that goes through both of these components with folks actively working on them. Expect a continual focus on extensibility as these components evolve. Below is a look at how DataViews comes together with the DataForm work with an easy option to quick edit within one’s pages:
