What’s new in Gutenberg v2.4
version 2.4 has been released on 14th Mar 2018. You may check out the announcement post and read through the changelog to understand what has been updated.
Let’s overview the most notable updates in this release.
Improved Block Inserter
This release further improved the inserter behavior, functionality, and visual appearance.
- Show the full block inserter (+ button) to the left of empty paragraphs and the default appender. Quick block options (based on compound frequency and recency) remain on the right.
- Insert default block as provisional — this reduces the proliferation of empty blocks as the editor removes these provisional blocks when unfocusing.
- When pressing enter from the post title, insert initial block as provisional.
- Fade out the side inserter when typing on the newly created block.
- Group common block definition on inserters. Use &x27;frecency&x27; to sort items on top of it.
- Improve the visual focus style for in-between inserter.
Improved Writing Flow
Strengthened, tweaked, and polished underlying mechanisms for handling the writing flow in order to provide more stability and consolidation.
