Highlights for the last –-very quiet– two weeks:

  • 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/ mobile: Improved keyboard behavior, and worked on some visual fixes to blocks.
  • iOS: Made some improvements to the post settings screen on iPad, fixed a crash that could sometimes happen when deleting a site on iPad, fixed a crash on the “About” screen in App Settings.
  • Android: Added Giphy support, more compatibility improvements for Gutenberg, and fixed some rare bugs.
