WordPress 6.1 Maintenance Releases
WordPress 6.1 was released in November 2022. There has subsequently been one maintenance release, WordPress 6.1.1 – November 15th. 2022.
WordPress 6.2
This version was launched on March 28th, 2023. See the WordPress 6.2 Release Post, which includes a short video. For more technical information see the WordPress 6.2 Field Guide.
The main objective of this release was to complete phase 2 of the Gutenberg project, Customisation. The major element has been the site editor, formerly called the full site editor, which has been available as a beta version for some time. The beta tag has now been removed although further refinements will continue to be introduced in the next release(s).
As with recent releases, work has continued in the areas of performance and accessibility.
What Next?
While work will continue on refining the functionality and user experience that have been developed thus far, phase three of the Gutenberg project will get started. This is Collaboration, and a useful introduction on the subject has been penned by Matias Ventura.
