Changelog

• Improves discoverability of permalinks by adding permalink panel to the document sidebar.
• Improves margins, column child block, and mobile display of columns.
• Allow for programmatically removing editor document panels.
• Replaces the uploading indicator of images and galleries with a spinner and faded out image.
• Toolbar for floats was a little offset beyond the mobile breakpoint, now fixed.
• Text and code editing blocks did not have width set, now set to fill the space.
• Correctly align URL input autocomplete.
• Improve animations: new, consistent naming convention, adds editor prefix, and moves keyframe animations (which don’t work well with mixins) into the edit post style.
• Hover styles were showing on mobile, where hover is not available – now disabled.
• Click and drag was incorrectly triggering a selection event in the block list under the popover, resulting in the popover dismissing. This was causing blocks to be selected when trying to set links to open in a new tab, for example. Fixed by preventing the mouse down event from propagating.
• Adds some padding to the block inserter so that it never overlaps text in nested contexts or mobile views.
• Better handle images larger than the editor by allowing a 2.5x buffer. Allows images inserted in TwentyNineteen and other themes that have a wider than 580px editor width, to look as expected, but prevents infinite resizing of images.
• Stop mousedown event propagating through the toolbar, fixing problem of unexpectedly selecting blocks.
• Improve the way that long words are broken on multiple lines, using word-break: keep-all;
• Preserve the ratio of video backgrounds in cover blocks, videos may be cropped to fit but will keep their original ratio.
• It was not possible to scroll a long menu on first load of Gutenberg, fixed by removing sticky-menu.

• Exclude HTML editing from Columns and Column blocks.
• Better handle links without href, which were showing as undefined.
• Renders block appender after the template is processed, to prevent incorrectly inserting new paragraphs.
• Parent pages were being lost when draft pages were autosaved, fixed by removing parent pages from autosave requests and refactoring to stop using “parent” as the path argument name.
• Adding line breaks in formatted content in quote blocks were not working correctly, fixed by persisting formats when new lines are added.
• Prevent users in the contributor role from using blocks that require upload privileges.
• Fix block selection in removing blocks, correct typo in comparison.
• Japanese text (double byte characters) was not usable in the list block, fixed by changing handling of composition events.
