This week, we dive into Matías Ventura’s proposal for a richer block library with additions like Tabs, Icons, Carousels, and Table of Contents. We also look at the latest from Gutenberg 21.4, WordPress 6.9 development, and new Test Team nominations. Security takes the spotlight with critical fixes in WP Job Portal and UiCore Elements, while WooCommerce 10.1 delivers faster checkout and new product features. Beyond WordPress, we cover OpenAI’s new integrations, Google’s Gemini personalization, and a surge of new community tools like WP Wiki, Groundworx GTM, and Menu Designer.
