WordPress November in short.
In November we saw the release of WordPress 5.3 Kirk. I listed the most important changes for developers in a previous edition..
The Gutenberg 6.9 release, among other things, enabled themes to define custom gradient presets. And Gutenberg 7.0 introduced some new APIs like safe Html string internationalization , and a new Card component.
November also brought the annual WordCamp Usa. If you missed any of it you can find all the live streams here, and the State of the Word here.
