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 7.4 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

This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ comments), that a release be devoted primarily to bug cleanup.

I’d just like to suggest that again… as a triager, I’m aware that some 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.

A suggested label to go through. Open Gutenberg PR’s with no one to review these.

@mamaduka

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

Looking to get early feedback on Writing flow: Try arrow press confirmation before switching blocks – a change that would bring much better keyboard 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) to all editors. Please add your thoughts. Positive or negative, I want to hear. If you think it should be done differently, happy to hear that too.

I just wanted to put it out there that if anybody deeply familiar with the data api wants to pair up and tackle a longstanding issue with how terms are getting assigned to posts in the editor I’d love to help / tackle that together.
See the following issue: taxonomy data in core store doesn’t get invalidated when new terms get added.
A draft PR has been created here: Fix refactor flat term selector to use data api for creating new terms It could use a look.

A question showed up in the 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 from Sebastian.
Is there any way to filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. 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 semantic scripting language primarily used for outputting content in web browsers. comment saved attributes that is not documented yet? I hardly try to read and understand gutenberg source code as much as i can, but i couldn’t even figure out the place where the html comments get rendered.
