Happy September no matter where you are in the world! Since we’re halfway through the alpha period for the next big release of WordPress, it’s time to gather all the pieces of planning into one place. This post will include all the best guesses and targets for dates, features, and squads.
This release will follow the same general cadence as the other releases this year, with a long alpha period (132 days) and a short beta period (14 days) before the release candidate phase.


WordPress 5.9 Features And Release Date

well - great news ahead:

WordPress 5.9 is expected to release in December 2021. WordPress 5.8 is the current stable release, as of July 20, 2021.
The main goal for WordPress in 2021 is to get full site editing to all WordPress users.

Awesome news: There is a proposal for a new default theme, which would likely use full site editing.
