This new version of WordPress puts more power into the details. This is not a security update, but a feature upgrade.
WordPress 6.5 Release (wordpress.org)
WordPress 6.5 offers new and improved ways to fine-tune and enhance your site-building experience, letting you take control in ways that make it your own.
Add and manage fonts across your site: The new Font Library puts you in control of an essential piece of your site’s design—typography—without coding or extra steps. Effortlessly install, remove, and activate local and Google Fonts across your site for any Block theme. The ability to include custom typography collections gives site creators and publishers more options when it comes to styling content.
Play with enhanced background and shadow tools:
Discover new Data Views: Every piece of your site comes with a library of information and data—now, you can find what you need quickly and organize it however you like. Data views for pages, templates, patterns, and template parts let you see data in a table or grid view, with the option to toggle fields and make bulk changes.
Smoother drag-and-drop: Feel the difference when you move things around, with helpful visual cues like displaced items in List View or frictionless dragging to anywhere in your workspace—from beginning to end.
Improved link controls: Create and manage links easily with a more intuitive link-building experience, like a streamlined UI and a shortcut for copying links.
The previous version of WordPress was 6.4.3 on January 30, 2024.
