Gutenberg + Theme Updates

11.0.0 was released, here are some relevant highlights:

  • PR that allows left/right/centre alignments inside “use default layout” containers
  • PR that allows block templates to be filtered, it could be useful for more advanced theming
  • PR  customize Global Styles…
  • Color palettes in Global Styles discussion: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/29568
  • Trying a few approaches to internationalization within a “pattern block” or as a standalone block.

Open Floor

  • Please join or check out the Hallway Hangout at 5pm UTC today (July 7) focused on exploring the Thrive theme with theme.json test: https://make.wordpress.org/test/2021/06/24/call-for-testing-thrive-with-theme-json/
  • There is a patch to add support for the new block-templates functionality to twenty twenty-one: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53564. It could use additional reviews.
  • There was consensus among the group that since TT1 Blocks has been mostly stable, bi-monthly meetings are not as useful. We will shift to monthly meetings instead!

Please comment below if you have anything to add or a question about the above 🙂 Thank you!
