WordPress 5.8 was released on July 20th. This release contained many updates; such as new Blocks, Block patterns, migrating Widgets to Blocks, changes in the Admin area, and a number of extras. In addition; new Block Templates and Full Site Editing (FSE) features (still in beta) are laying the groundwork for potentially bigger changes in the upcoming WP 5.9 release in December.
