WordPress 5.6 Release Candidate
"The final release of 2020 continues the annual tradition of a new default theme that is custom built to showcase the new features and functionality of the software. Continued progress on the block editor is especially clear in this release, which brings more blocks to more places, and fewer clicks to implement your layouts."

Gutenberg 9.4 Introduces Button Width Selector and Typography Controls for List Block
"Gutenberg 9.4.0 was released this week with many small improvements to existing features, while work on full site editing continues. This release will not be included in the upcoming WordPress 5.6 release but those who are using the Gutenberg plugin will have access to the improvements right away."

Proposal to Create an Expanded View or Overlay for the Block Patterns Inserter
“Viewing a lot of patterns in the small inserter panel does not work too well,” he [Paal Joachim Romdahl] wrote in the GitHub ticket. “It gets tiring needing to scroll one pattern at a time. Having a larger view will help the user to compare multiple patterns at once.”

Better User Interface and User Experience
"In this update, we’re bringing block editing to all new heights by drastically improving our user interface and user experience (UI/UX)."


Introducing the Simplest Header Footer Builder with Astra!
"The drag and drop Header and Footer Builder is coming soon to Astra! We are thrilled to introduce the most awaited drag and drop Header and Footer Builder. It opens all-new design possibilities and gives you the freedom to customize navigation of your website with a theme."
