- Data Views Update – June 2024: Bootstrap Actions Extensibility API has merged to allow third-party developers to register and unregister post type actions, a new issue has been opened for bringing DataViews to Posts, Categories and Tags, and a very basic PR was merged for Posts Dashboard: Add a new experimental empty page. All of this helps move forward opening up data views to third parties and to more places in the WordPress experience, starting as experiments.
- We are currently in the WordPress 6.6 release cycle. WordPress 6.6 Beta 2 was released on Tuesday, June 11. Please continue testing.
- 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/ 18.6 is scheduled for June 19 and will include these issues. This version will NOT be included in the WordPress 6.6 release. - Highlights from WordCamp Europe 2024, it’s just concluded on June 13-15 in Torino,, Italy.
