Gutenberg 23.7 has been released and is available for download<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Version 23.7 includes many improvements over features added with 23.6, with updates to the BlockBlock<\/span> 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.

Various editor improvements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Much of the 23.7 cycle has been focused on smaller visual editor improvements. Floated blocks no longer overlap sticky blocks, the empty block appender now sits in the right place inside blocks that capture their own toolbars, and the Pullquote block finally honors a custom line height in the editor so it matches the front end. Fixed device preview heights are also restored for the mobile and tablet views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gallery block dynamic mode improvements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new Gallery block dynamic mode<\/a> that shipped in Gutenberg 23.6 had an ambiguous \u201cConvert to images\u201d toolbar button that didn\u2019t describe what it actually did. That button has been renamed to \u201cDetach\u201d, and a modal appears to better explain to the user what happens when detaching images<\/p>\n\n\n\n
