The WordPress 5.3 Kirk version expands the capabilities and improves the existing block processor. New processor capabilities enhance design capabilities, provide additional design options and style variations that give designers more control over the look of a website.

This release also brings the theme of Twenty Twenty giving the user more design flexibility with the block processor.

 

This update brings over 150 new features and improvements, including improved large images for uploading unoptimized, high-resolution photos taken by your smartphone or other high-quality cameras. Combined with larger default image sizes, images will always look better.

The improvements include the integration of block editor styles in the διαχείρισης. Αυτά τα βελτιωμένα στυλ διορθώνουν πολλά accessibility: like contrast to form and button fields, standardization to the default WordPress color scheme, and more.

After the improvements to the block editor, we should also mention the Twenty Twenty designed for more flexibility.

Automatic Image Rotation

You can edit images after upload, but you can also rotate them as WordPress has been thinking for the last 9 years.

Improved Site Health Checks

The new 5.3 release recognizes problems faster and suggests changes.

Admin Email Verification

If you are an admin and do not visit the site, the new version will periodically email you to confirm your email address. This will reduce the risk of being locked out if you change your email address.

Download the new version, or upgrade directly from the dashboard.
