The December update on the progress of Divi 5 focuses on changes to the user interface.

It sounds like the alpha of Divi 5 will be available early next year. I was surprised to hear that if it is not missing features you need, that you can go ahead and start using it. Probably not something I’d do.

Elegant Theme has just launched their Divi Code AI. Very cool stuff for the Divi faithful.

Here is an update on Divi 5 progress. The video discusses the move away from shortcodes and the migration process. I see in the change log on the website that they have ported over a large number of Divi modules this past month, so progress seems to be good.

Meta Box now has an integration with Divi. You can use Meta Box custom fields either with the Divi dynamic data options in Divi’s modules, or Meta Box provides two Divi modules for more flexibility.

Here is a podcast interview between Josh Hall and Kevin Geary. Josh is a Divi user and more of a designer. He focuses on business and web design. Kevin is the product founder of Automatic.CSS, a layout and design framework for Oxygen and Bricks. The interview is more of a high level, not technical, discussion.

The latest update on the Divi rewrite. It looks like the developer API has been completed and they are working towards a public alpha release.

Elegant Themes has finally launched Divi AI. The roadmap features include:

• Code Generation: Even without coding experience, you will be able to generate or modify code wherever Divi supports custom HTML, CSS, or JS.
• Full Layout Generation: What if you could re-generate an entire layout with Divi AI? We plan to make that happen.
• Image Editing: Soon, you’ll be able to edit images with AI directly inside the builder. Modify individual parts of the image, adjust the size, generatively fill empty spaces, and more!

For those who are following the Divi 5 rewrite, there is an update about extendability and a cool proof of concept Gutenberg block to Divi module function.
