Gutenberg Development Updates
What’s new in Gutenberg? (May the 4th)
This release has many refinements and improves the capabilities of the Block and Plugin APIs. It also adds a new “spacer” block for generating visual space. The color palette component has been improved to be based on classes instead of inline styles (for registered colors) and includes some important accessibility improvements (like naming the color). Thank you to everyone involved!

Volunteers wanted: we're conducting a usability study on #Gutenberg, to understand how professionals who write and edit news-style content in #WordPress – and do not actively follow its development – will perceive and adjust to the change. https://t.co/8AIzhkaQhL pic.twitter.com/lnE4yc1tkH
