Can someone provide an update on where this work is with 6.6 beta 1 coming up? Curious what improvements we might see for the release and where we are with these efforts.

[creativecoder]

@annezazu I believe the checklist in the issue description is up to date. It looks like we have a few small improvements:

• https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/54797
• https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/54401
• https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/55220

Additionally, there's some in progress work on https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/60835 to improve the underlying code.

That's all I'm aware of, right now.

Hi all 👋

Reminder: The release candidate for Gutenberg Version 18.5 is scheduled for next Friday (May 31st). So anything that is supposed to make it into WordPress 6.6 must be merged by then.

Please raise any important issues that need additional attention :)
