Unreleased

14.53.0 (2026-08-12)

Internal

  • Notes: Move the rich text control the note form renders from @wordpress/dataviews into this package, where @wordpress/rich-text is the same copy the block editor uses (#81430).
  • Use the new @wordpress/kebab-case package instead of unlocking the kebabCase utility from the @wordpress/components private APIs (#81294).
  • Vendor a local copy of the normalizeTextString utility instead of unlocking it from the @wordpress/components private APIs (#81294).

Enhancements

  • Add a read-only code diff to the revisions screen (#80314).

New Features

  • Add a blockStatesEditingEnabled editor setting, defaulting to true, which hides state controls for blocks in the block inspector and Global Styles when set to false (#80956, #81058).

Bug Fixes

  • Device Preview: Keep tablet and mobile iframe widths inside their responsive breakpoints so media queries remain accurate at browser zoom levels.
  • Document tools: Fix icon button focus styles to use the design system outset-ring__focus mixin (#81115).
  • Update the admin bar's site icon when the Site Icon is saved, instead of showing the previous icon until the page is reloaded. Saving the icon also refetches the site's base data, which holds the icon URL derived from it (#81483).

14.52.0 (2026-07-29)

Enhancements

  • Notes: Remove "Add note" from the rich-text formatting toolbar's "More" (inline styles) dropdown. Adding a note is not an inline style, the item duplicated the block options entry, and the dropdown's chevron rendered as pressed whenever the caret sat inside a note (#80531).

New Features

  • The "Apply globally" control now opens a review modal so you can choose which of a block's modified styles are pushed to Global Styles, showing each style's current and new value (#79839).
  • Add a responsiveEditingEnabled editor setting, defaulting to true, which hides the "Responsive styles" option in the View menu and the viewport state control in Global Styles when set to false (#80814).

Bug Fixes

  • mediaUpload: Add an isTransportOnly parameter, set by the @wordpress/upload-media queue, which owns progress tracking and save locking for its own items and uses this function only as its server transport. Fixes the progress snackbar showing "1 of 2" for a single HEIC upload in Safari (#80369).

Internal

  • Update date-fns to 4.4.0 (#80763).

14.51.0 (2026-07-14)

New Features

  • Add an "Attachments" source to the block inserter's Media tab, listing images attached to the current post with the ability to attach and detach them (#79336).

Enhancements

  • Use the emphasis font-weight token for UI emphasis (#80093).
  • Notes: Remove the snackbar notice shown when a note is resolved or reopened, as the note's appearance already updates in place to reflect the change. The result is still announced to screen readers (#80017).
  • The "View the autosave" notice now opens the autosave in the visual revisions view with its changes highlighted, instead of the classic revisions screen. It falls back to the classic screen when visual revisions are disabled (#79947).

Bug Fixes

  • Render the "Preview in new tab" action with the shared menu item pattern so its typography matches sibling menu items (#80195).
  • External images are now sideloaded on the server when uploaded to the media library, via a new mediaSideloadFromUrl block editor setting, so the upload works when the editor is cross-origin isolated (e.g. with client-side media processing enabled) (#79409).

Enhancements

  • Widen React peer dependency ranges to ^18 || ^19 to support both React 18 and React 19 environments (#80024).

14.50.0 (2026-07-01)

14.49.0 (2026-06-24)

14.48.1 (2026-06-16)

14.48.0 (2026-06-10)

New Features

  • Added UploadProgressSnackbar component that shows a persistent snackbar with upload progress while media uploads are in progress. The snackbar shows a spinner during uploads and a checkmark briefly when all uploads complete.

Code Quality

  • Add missing @types/react dependency. #78882.

Documentation

  • Fix documentation grammar (#78686).

Internal

  • Dependency updates (#77954).

14.47.0 (2026-05-27)

Enhancements

  • Editor: Add padding around inline notices in the editor content area and distraction-free header.
  • Editor: Pause the client-side media upload queue while the browser is offline and resume it automatically when connectivity returns (#76765).
  • The Media Editor modal is now mounted unconditionally and the openMediaEditorModal setting is always provided to the block editor. Previously both were gated behind the gutenberg-media-editor-modal experiment, which has been removed.

Bug Fixes

  • mediaFinalize now returns the post-finalize attachment (transformed from the REST response), so the upload-media queue can refresh the in-flight attachment URL. Required for the front-end srcset to render on client-side-media uploads that exceeded the big-image threshold.
  • Template actions panel: Fix the keyboard activation of the "Change template" preview so it only opens the swap modal on Enter / Space (#78641).

Internal

  • Updated diff dependency from ^4.0.2 to ^8.0.3 (#77992).

14.46.0 (2026-05-14)

  • Change how required built-ins are polyfilled with Babel 7 (#9171). If you're using an environment that has limited or no support for ES2015+ such as lower versions of IE then using core-js or @babel/polyfill will add support for these methods.
  • DocumentTitle component has been removed.
  • getDocumentTitle selector (core/editor) has been removed.

Deprecations

  • RichTextProvider flagged for deprecation. Please use wp.data.select( 'core/editor' ) methods instead.

Bug Fixes
