Gutenberg 12.2 Focuses on User Experience Improvements

Some Gutenberg plugin releases feel like heavy-hitters with new user-facing features. Others, such as today’s version 12.2 update, smooth over problems and create a more well-rounded experience.

Switching between the site editor and templates is smoother. The color picker is no longer a hot mess. And, border controls now use the tools panel approach of allowing users to enable or disable the options they want.

Contributors have made progress on updating the Comments Query Loop block, which will eventually be the backbone of displaying comments in block themes. One of the tallest hurdles was making nested comments work. With that now fixed, moving forward with other comment-related components should be less problematic. The latest release also introduced the Comments Pagination Numbers block for handling paginated comment lists.
