Calls for Testing 📣
Calls for Testing can originate from any team, from themes to mobile apps to feature plugins. The following posts highlight features and releases that need special attention:
- Understanding and Testing Font Library Feature with block editor theme.
- There are currently 13 open tickets in the 6.5.3 release milestone.
- 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/ 18.2 is scheduled for April 24 and will include these issues.
