WordPress 5.7 “Esperanza” was released today. It is named for Esperanza Spalding, an American Jazz singer, songwriter and composer in the early 20's.
Versions 9.3 - 9.9 of the Gutenberg add - on are included in this information, bringing hundreds of improvements and bug fixes that make working in the block editor more efficient.
One of the highlights is the new drag-and-drop capabilities in the block importer. You can now drag blocks and block patterns directly in the post content area, making page creation even faster.
But one of the most exciting technical improvements of version 5.7 is portability with a click from HTTP to HTTPS. WordPress web software can now detect if your hosting environment has support for HTTPS and update with the click of a button, fixing mixed content rewrites where possible. This feature is available on the suggestions screen for “health” of the site.
More information in announcement of the new version.
