WordPress 6.0 Arturo is here and, as usual, we peeked behind the curtains to give our readers a preview of what’s new with the latest WordPress major release.

- Improved template creation
- New hooks
- Webfonts API
- A new Browse Mode for the site editor
- Alternative Global Styles
- An enhanced Navigation block
- New design tools
- Improved performance
- And much more…
