The WordPress Gutenberg team is working on adding a new interactivity API so that developers can create blocks that support users content interactions. The project has progressed to the initial testing stage and those interested are invited to help.

The latest version of the Gutenberg plugin, 16.3, added some features for working with patterns. These won’t be included in the forthcoming 6.3 release of WordPress, but will be in 6.4

Justin Tadlock released a new plugin for displaying breadcrumbs. The intent is that the block can be used in the Site Editor when making theme templates. Here is a discussion and walk-through.

Here is a very nice video tour by Jamie Marsland of new features coming in WordPress 6.3.

This post from Matias Ventura is an expansion on the Gutenberg Phase 3 discussion. It talks about block management, which many will be happy to see.

This is interesting, as part of Gutenberg Phase 3 they have starting looking at improving the media library.
