“What’s new in GutenbergGutenbergThe 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/…” posts (labeled with the #gutenberg-new tag) are posted following every Gutenberg release on a biweekly basis, showcasing new features included in each release. As a reminder, here’s an overview of different ways to keep up with Gutenberg and the Site Editor project (formerly called Full Site Editing).
For this release, contributors reached a milestone for data views, increased feature parity between site and post editors, improved performance across a few areas and added functionality to current features, including List view and Style RevisionsRevisionsThe WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision..
With this new version, users can expect more flexibility with background images for the Group blockBlockBlock 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. and fixes to improve support for design tools for classic themes.
The Data Views work reaches a new milestone: stabilizing this new experience for the template screen, making it available outside the experiments flag and without the additional “Views” options. Please consider using this new experience and provide feedback! (57109)
Style revisions: Stylebook integration and pagination
Work continued evolving the usefulness of Style Revisions, with added pagination for better navigation and the integration with the Stylebook. When reviewing revisions with the Style Book, you can better understand the impact of the changes for both within the template you’re looking at and across individual blocks. (56799) (56800)
Background Images: size and repeat controls.
This release also adds controls to the background image to adjust size and toggle repetition for the Group Block. This allows you to set the background image to “Cover” (default), or to “Contain”, keeping the aspect ratio intact, and when set to repeat it only repeats in one dimension. With the “Fixed” option, you can set a custom display width, and by selecting the repeat feature, the image repeats over the canvas size of the block. (#57005)
List View: Right click access to Block Setting
A right click on List View opens up that block’s settings menu and gives fast access and streamlines editing. 50273
Other Notable Highlights
The site editor received an additional sidebarSidebarA sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side.

Unification of the interface and access to the same controls for page page attributes, post taxonomies, Discussion panel, and feature image panel, gives users more confidence in learning how to use it and allows as well to streamline development in the future.
