Release Notes
- Support for full-width and wide alignment for the Group, Cover, and Image blocks (with support for more blocks to come).
- Love rounded corners on your images? We’ve also added support for the Rounded style in the Image block.
- Some people may have experienced a misbehaving toolbar when adding a new block, but we’ve fixed this issue.
- We also noticed that in Image Preview, images were not positioned correctly after changing device orientation, but this has been addressed, too.
What to Test
To prepare:
- Go to Account > App Settings > Privacy Settings and turn on the Collect information option.
- Go to Account > Help & Support and turn on the Extra Debug option.
- Go to My Site > Settings > Use Block Editor to enable the block editor for new posts.
- If you are comfortable testing in a language other than English, please test in that language.
To test:
- Full width / wide alignment options. For the first iteration, it will support only some blocks:
Group,Cover, andImageblock. Check all alignment options for the supported blocks.. View changes on Reader. - Edit an image and choose ‘Rounded’. Undo/ Redo. View on Reader. Try with different file types and image sizes.
- With the cursor in an empty block, tap the return key until the screen fills up and block is at the bottom of the screen. Toolbar should not have a gap between it and keyboard, should look the same as when you hit enter in an article with a single or few paragraph blocks.
- Preview an image in Reader or in the Media feature in different orientations and verify it remains in the same location.
