Congrats to the FluentCart team.

The overall release schedule is not changed, but the RC is delayed due to concerns with performance and other issues.

Bricks 2.3 has been released. It adds a new paste HTML and CSS to Bricks elements feature, new query filter controls, enhancements to the Image Gallery, enhancements to the color controls, and more. There are videos linked in the change log for many of the updates.

The Elementor team is moving ahead with the new editor which introduces a number of new features and ways of working. The announcement outlines the plan.

A Twenty Twenty-Seven core theme is under way. Planned for release in early December.

Oops, Roger Montti summarizes the reasons for the recent series of core releases.

WordPress 6.9.2 was just released. It is a security update and it is recommended to update your sites immediately.

For the hard-core gear heads, you can search WordPress plugins, themes, and core source code with the Veloria search engine.

It looks like it has been two and a half years since the last release, but that it was working well all that time. The beta includes a number of small enhancements as well as updates to the Gutenberg blocks to be ready for WordPress 7.0.
