WordPress 5.1, named “Betty” in honor of acclaimed jazz vocalist Betty Carter, has been released to all VIP sites.
Following WordPress 5.0 — a major release which introduced the new block editor — 5.1 focuses on polish, in particular by improving the overall performance of the editor. In addition, this release paves the way for a better, faster, and more secure WordPress with some essential tools for site administrators and developers.
The release contains a number of improvements to the block editor introduced in WordPress 5.0 alongside the initial features for Site Health. The release also introduces some developer-oriented updates including general improvements and custom hooks to make the Cron infrastructure even more robust and reliable and a new database table available for multi-sites.
For more details about this release (including specific changes), please see the announcement post and release notes.
