Table of Content

  • Introduce block-templates as a list of blocks specification. Allows a custom post type to define a pre-configured set of blocks to be render upon creation of a new item.
  • New tools menu design, preparing the way for more extensibility options.
  • Block API change: use simpler JS object notation for declaring attribute sources.
  • Add function to allow filtering allowed block types.
  • Show popovers full screen on mobile, improving several mobile interactions.
  • Began work on publishing flow improvements with an indication of publishing (or updating a published post) action by introducing a button state and label updates.
  • Made toolbar-by-block the default after different rounds of feedback and testing. Both options are still present.
