I asked around to identity what the “must have” enhancements are for this release and have added them to the WordPress 5.9 Must-Haves project board. Please regularly check in with this project board. There are a bunch of bugs in the board, too, and you should also pay attention to them, but they’re slightly less important because bugs can be addressed after the feature freeze.

Navigation Block & Navigation Editor

Update from @get_dave

  • The Nav Editor will not be included in WordPress 5.9 – this is because: changes to the block are required for the editor to be a success (see below). We need to allow sufficient time to test the editor before any major releasemajor release A release, identified by the first two numbers (3.6), which is the focus of a full release cycle and feature development. WordPress uses decimaling count for major release versions, so 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, and 3.1 are sequential and comparable in scope. and allow for community feedback.
  • Following the Hallway Hangout a summary was posted. The outcome was:
  • In the short term, contributor efforts will switch to the Nav block in order to resolve some of the underlying architectural issues
  • Specifically separating the navigation’s presentation from its data in order to make navigations reusable. This serves both the Nav Editor project and the WordPress 5.9 release in general.
  • The Navigation Editor will ultimately focus on manipulating the data of a navigation which is why the above work is a prerequisite for the project’s success.
  • Work on the Nav Editor will resume after WordPress 5.9. We will continue to focus on backwards compatibility whilst looking ahead to the world of blocks.
  • It’s unlikely that we will pursue a new “Classic Menu” block. Rather focusing on the Navigation block (or its data).
  • To this end @talldan has two important Nav block PRs which everyone is encouraged to test and provide feedback on.
  • Link to the Github Navigation Block & Navigation Editor issue.

Mobile Team

Update from @mattchowning

  • Shipped:
    Trigger embed bottom sheet when an embeddable url is pasted into a paragraph block
    Add ability to customize the text and background color in the search block
  • Fixes
    Small fixes for embed block and help screen
    Improve automatic dimming of cover block
  • In Progress
    Adding more tests for the Embed block
    GSS Font size, line height, colors

Task Coordination

@santosguillamot

The main idea is to end up with a Comment Query loopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post. https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop. similar to the existing Query Loop we have for posts. You can check out the scope of the project in its tracking issue. This has been the progress so far:

@mamaduka

@joen

  • Focused on bringing home the navigation block, and making a bunch of tiny PRs to shore up the numerous mostly small glitches.

@annezazu

@ntsekouras

@bph

  • Started plugin/theme outreach regarding Gallery Block Refactor 15 top plugins, responses 10, I’ll do a second attempt to reach the non-responsive. TY @Glen Davies
  •  I will connect with 12 more plugin developers this week, and tackle theme authors.
  • Awesome Live Q & A w/ Helen, Mark and Riad – Discussion “How we make building blocks easier.  Recording on YouTube
  • Developer Hours. We’ll start coordinating schedule and promotion next week.

CSS Chat Summary: 14 October 2021

The meeting took place here on Slack. @wazeter facilitated and @danfarrow wrote up these notes.

CSSCSS Cascading Style Sheets. Custom Properties (#49930)

  • @wazeter shared the planning document and noted that we’re in the final stages of migrating existing colour properties to CSS custom-properties
  • @dryanpress is working on reducing the huge number of custom properties in customize-control.css, a process which has revealed hex values shared by multiple properties. These could effectively be replaced by additional theme properties
  • @wazeter noted that sometimes in larger files it’s better to avoid find-and-replacing colour values and instead to go through logical property groupings e.g. box-shadows, then background etc.
  • @wazeter shared a link to every-layout.dev which outlines an approach to CSS architecture which could be relevant to this project, and which demonstrates the need for a good set of default custom properties
  • This led to a conversation about the next steps, in particular the documentation and Table of Contents (TOC) which will accompany the custom-property roll-out

Thanks everybody!

Component maintainers updates

Build/Test Tools – @sergeybiryukov

A readme file for end-to-end (e2e) tests was added to WordPress core. It provides instructions of how to run the tests locally and links to documentation. This should hopefully result in more contributors writing e2e tests. See ticket #53550 for more details.

General – @sergeybiryukov

Work has continued on various coding standards fixes in core. See tickets #54177, #54277, #54278, #54284 for more details. Thanks to @sabbirshouvo, a new contributor, for improving escaping in various parts of core!

Internationalization (i18ni18n Internationalization, or the act of writing and preparing code to be fully translatable into other languages. Also see localization. Often written with a lowercase i so it is not confused with a lowercase L or the numeral 1. Often an acquired skill.) – @sergeybiryukov

Some Media Library filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. strings now have a context for better translations. See ticket #54238 for more details.

Help/About – @marybaum

Scrubs continue weekly, hosted by @marybaum and @webcommsat. Three tickets will wind up contributing to big changes long-term; a couple of tickets are minor markup changes, so they should be good to go this week.

This component will have another scrub scheduled on Monday October 25, 2021 at 19:00 UTC, focused on tickets slated for 5.9.

Open Floor

@audrasjb asked for an update concerning the new Performance team proposal. @chanthaboune: “There are a few questions that I’m synthesizing into a comment. Performance is, of course, an important thing for the WordPress project as a whole. There were some questions on implementation, though.”

@janthiel asked for a review of #53450. @audrasjb moved it for 5.9 consideration. This ticket will need dev-feedback and a technical review.

@costdev is working on the changes from assertEquals() to assertSame() in the test suite for 5.9 and the “Stage 1” pull request is ready for review: #53364.

Check out & contribute to the updated Gutenberg Examples

This week, a major portion of the work to update the Gutenberg Examples repository was completed. The repository blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. examples, while accurate, were out of date and didn’t reflect the most current approach to block registration.

These examples can be used in many ways. You can read through them to learn how to create blocks, check out the repository and modify them to see how they work, or use them as a starting point for your own blocks.

All example blocks now use block metadata files and leverage the most recent version of the Block API. Updates were also made to the developer experience to introduce ESlint and Prettier configurations that can be used by IDEs, and to leverage the most recent version of the @wordpress/scripts package.

Share your examples

While the existing examples cover a lot of topics and use cases, it would be great to expand the list and help more folks do more with blocks. In particular, examples covering more advanced block related topics or topics that are not strictly related to creating blocks but still part of the GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress.
