WordPress 5.9 release is happening on January 25th, 2022. If you haven’t caught up with all the new features, the Field Guide is now available on WordPress.org.

WordPress 5.9 might be the largest release of Gutenberg features since the initial Gutenberg launch in WordPress 5.0. The latest version includes a full suite of site editing tools bringing the block editor to the full screen. This includes a new way to build themes, new ways to create templates, and style your site. Plus a dozen new theme blocks to load dynamic content.

All of this is shown off in the beautiful new Twenty Twenty-Two default theme.
