The Elementor team talks about upcoming features across their product line. I liked the focus on wire frames and the Editor v.4 preview.

Bricks 2.0 Alpha has been released for testing. Instructions for how to download it are at the top of the changelog. There are a good number of new features and updates available. Some of the new features include Nested Components, Builder Capabilities manager, Element Manager, In-Builder Font Manager, In-Builder Icon Manager, Bulk-Edit elements, Visual CSS Grid Builder, Revamped Pseudo Class UI, and Selector Detector, among others.

GatoGraphQL now supports all ACF field types.

This is an interesting idea. The FlowMattic team added an email designer and the ability to send emails to their automation tool.

News, but not big news. The Astra theme has added a dark mode color switcher so that you can automatically provide a dark mode option.

GenerateBlocks 2.1 alpha was released. It includes a number of refinements such as a styles indicator system, new device visibility options, accessibility improvements, and other updates.

WordPress 6.8 is rolling out. I updated a dozen sites without issue. Also, I don’t see any 6.8 problem chatter on WP org. Here is the release post.

Congratulations to the SureCart team for hitting the 100,000+ active installs milestone.

The new AT CSS Framework that is included in Bricks Advanced Themer 3.1 is a “game changer” for me. I’ve used it for a about a week while it was in beta and am very happy with it, and will use it with Bricks going forward. It is a great addition to Maxime Beguin’s outstanding plugin for Bricks. The settings are integrated with Bricks and it is a straightforward framework.

Paul Charlton released a quick look at the new AT framework, which will be useful for people who want to give it a try.
