The following is a machine translation. Most of the updated content is related to the block editor. There are also some privacy updates that have nothing to do with our country. There is no security update. If you don't use the block editor, just look at it.

More ways to make posts and pages will be vivid with your best images. More ways to bring visitors in and let them participate from the network's top services to rich embedded media.

More ways to make your vision real and set blocks in perfect places - even if a special block is new to you. More efficient processes.

And the speed is faster everywhere, so when you build parts or galleries, or just type a line of prose, you can feel how fast the workflow is.

Two new blocks. Better block integrity.

• Two new blocks: social icons and buttons make adding interactive features fast and easy.
• New methods with colors: gradients in buttons and cover blocks, toolbar access to color options in rich text blocks, and color options in Group and Column blocks for the first time.
• Guess a lot less! Version 5.4 simplifies the whole process of placing and replacing multimedia in each module. Now, it works on almost every block!
• If you ever thought that the image in the Media_Text block should be linked to other content - perhaps the image of the brochure should download the brochure as a document? OK, now it's OK.

• Cleaner UI, clearer navigation and easier tabs!
  Clearer block navigation and block traces. And easier choices once you get there.
• For better tab and focus when you need to use keyboard navigation. In addition, you can snap tabs to the sidebar of almost any block.
• Speed! The loading speed of the editor is 14% faster, and the typing time is 51% faster!
• The hint is gone. In their place, the Welcome Guide window, you can move when you need it - only when you need it - again and again.
• It is clear whether you are in Edit or Navigation mode of the block. Or, if your vision is limited, the screen reader will tell you which mode you are in.

Your basic right: privacy

5.4 Help solve various privacy problems around the world. Therefore, it should be easier to get the right answer when users and stakeholders ask about compliance or how your team handles user data.

have a look:

• Now, personal data export includes user session information and user location data from the community event widget. In addition, a directory!
• When processing export and erase requests through the privacy tool, see Progress.
• In addition, a little enhancement of the entire privacy tool makes the privacy tool look cleaner. Your eyes will thank you!

Add Custom Field to Menu Item - Native

Two new actions allow you to add custom fields to menu items - no plug-ins, no need to write custom walkers.

On the Menu management screen, it is triggered before the move button of the navigation menu item in the menu editor. wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields

Triggered at the end of the menu item form field template in Custom Programs. wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields_customize_template

Check the code to see where these new operations can replace the custom code. If you are worried about repetition, please add the WordPress version check.

Block! Simpler styles, new APIs, and embeddedness

• Very simple and simpler block style. Negative margin and default padding have disappeared! Now you can set the style as you want. Moreover, the refactor gets rid of four redundant packaging divs.
• If you build plug-ins, you can now register a collection of blocks by category namespace, which is a great way to get more brand visibility.
• Allows users to perform more operations using two new APIs: block variations and gradients.
• In embedding, TikTok_ and CollegeHumor are no longer supported by the block editor.
