Planning for 7.0
Fast-moving teams are rewriting the rules of deployment by treating inference as a product layer, not just runtime plumbing.
Make WordPress Core
WordPress 7.0 development is underway following the 6.9 release. Core contributors are focusing on Phase 3 collaboration features, including improvements to the Notes feature with better diffing mechanics and change reconciliation. Navigation workflow simplifications are planned to make menu management more intuitive. The team is exploring streamlined editing experiences for composite blocks and design patterns, plus more intuitive page navigation in the site editor. Additional blocks and tools are being added to expand capabilities for theme builders.
