Release notes

De belangrijkste vernieuwingen in versie 5.9: 

• Full site editing is here.

  It puts you in control of your whole site, right in the WordPress Admin

• Say hello to Twenty Twenty-Two.

  And say hello to the first default block theme in the history of
  WordPress. This is more than just a new default theme. It’s a brand-new
  way to work with WordPress themes. Block themes
  put a wide array of visual choices directly in your hands, from color
  schemes and font combinations to page templates and image filters, all
  from the Site Editor.
  So in one place, you can give Twenty Twenty-Two the same look and feel
  as your organization’s other materials—or take your site’s look in
  another direction. You already have the Twenty Twenty-Two theme—it came
  installed with WordPress 5.9. You will find it with your other installed
  themes.

• Your personal paintbox awaits

  Twenty Twenty-Two is not the only theme built for full site editing.
  More block themes are in the Themes directory, and the number will grow.
  When you use any of those new themes, you no longer need the
  Customizer. Instead, you have all the power of the Styles interface
  inside the Site Editor. Just as in Twenty Twenty-Two, you build your
  site’s look and feel there, with the tools you need for the job in a
  fluid interface that practically comes alive in your hands.

• The Navigation block

  Blocks come to site navigation, the heart of user experience. The new
  Navigation block gives you the power to choose: an always-on responsive
  menu or one that adapts to your user’s screen size. And your choices
  are remembered! In 5.9, the block saves menus as custom post types,
  which get saved to the database.

• More improvements and updates

  Do you love to blog? New tweaks to the publishing flow help you say more, faster.

• Better block controls

  WordPress 5.9 features new typography tools, flexible layout
  controls, and finer control of details like spacing, borders, and
  more—to help you get not just the look, but the polish that says you
  care about details.

• The power of patterns

  The WordPress Pattern Directory is the home of a wide range of block
  patterns built to save you time and add to your site’s functionality.
  And you can edit them as you see fit. Need something different in the
  header or footer for your theme? Swap it out with a new one in a few
  clicks. With a nearly full-screen view that draws you in to see fine
  details, the Pattern Explorer makes it easy to compare patterns and
  choose the one your users need.

• A revamped List View

  In 5.9, the List View lets you drag and drop your content exactly
  where you want it. Managing complex documents is easier, too: simple
  controls let you expand and collapse sections as you build your site—and
  add HTML anchors to your blocks to help users get around the page.

• A better Gallery block

  Treat every image in a Gallery Block the same way you would treat it in the Image Block. Style every image in your gallery differently, or make them all the same, except for one or two. Or change the layout with drag-and-drop.
