- Full Site Editing: Shipped the new experimental Gallery block.
- Other projects: We added a pull to refresh to My Site on iOS, to update site title, icon and address when they change somewhere else. Added the “Share WordPress with a Friend�? feature on Android too, and shipped the new Edit Comment component.
- Infrastructure: We continued to work on the CI migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another.
