I also contributed to the documentation of \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Version_4.6\">WordPress 4.6 Codex Page<\/a>, at this page, you can read about what is new, changed and fixed\u00a0in this release. Significant changes\u00a0from a WordPress &#8220;User&#8221;&#8216;s perspective are as follows<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Streamlined updates<\/strong> which help you <strong>stay on the same page<\/strong> while performing actions like installing, updating and deleting WordPress themes as well as WP plugins. Which helps reduce the time consumed hence making these activities faster.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Native fonts<\/strong> inside the admin dashboard make admin area\u00a0load fast. Native fonts are getting popular. Many companies like GitHub have\u00a0made a shift \u2014 even at the frontend.<\/li>\n<li><strong>WP Editor<\/strong> is getting smarter; it can detect broken links and\u00a0save your content in the browser which is easily recoverable in case your internet connection goes down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are interested in reading more about what&#8217;s new, then check the detailed version by Jeff Chandler at <a href=\"https:\/\/wptavern.com\/wordpress-4-6-pepper-released-streamlines-plugin-and-theme-management\">WPTavern<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"customize-component-ftw\">Customize Component FTW ?<a href=\"#customize-component-ftw\" class=\"heading-link\">#<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Last year I started to dig into the core&#8217;s code for Customizer or what we call the <code>Customize<\/code>\u00a0component. After reading the source code \u2014 which is\u00a0one of the best advice I have for you \u2014 I found out that Customize part is different from other WordPress APIs.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s pretty intuitive, and you do not need to use a framework to code your product. On that note, I went ahead and built a\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ahmadawais.com\/wordpress-customizer-package-sublime-text\/\">WordPress Customizer Package For Sublime Text<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to help WordPress developers right quality code from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0less than two months, <strong>this package was installed by more than a thousand developers<\/strong>.\u00a0The feeling of having to help so many developers out there was great. The only thing better than this was receiving thank you emails\u00a0from a good deal of developers \u2014 explaining how much time this one package has saved them.<\/p>\n<p>All of that have made me <strong>a lot more serious about WordPress Customizer<\/strong>. I cannot help but thank <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/westonruter\">Weston Ruter<\/a>; <em>one of my mentors \u2014 an excellent WordPress developer and Customize component maintainer<\/em>. He\u00a0has been more than helpful, which is why I was able to contribute to WP 4.6 \u2014 specifically to the customizer component for the\u00a0addition of <a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/changeset\/37476\">setting validation model and control notifications to augment setting sanitization<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"customize-component-growth\">Customize Component Growth<a href=\"#customize-component-growth\" class=\"heading-link\">#<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>To be honest, Weston&#8217;s unfettered ability to share, his dedication, and his efforts towards the growth of <code>Customize<\/code> component have helped me contribute to more related projects that can\u00a0prove vital for future versions of WordPress. Some of these projects are as follow.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/customize-posts\/\">Customize Posts<\/a><\/strong>: Edit posts and post meta in the Customizer. Stop editing your posts\/post meta blind!<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/customize-snapshots\/\">Customize Snapshots<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0Allow Customizer states to be drafted, scheduled, and previewed with a private URL.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/customize-setting-validation\/\">Customize\u00a0Setting Validation<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0Core feature plugin for Customizer setting validation, error messaging, and transactional\/atomic saves. Merged in WP 4.6.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"contribute-while-the-iron-customize-is-hot\">Contribute While the Iron (<code>Customize<\/code>) Is Hot<a href=\"#contribute-while-the-iron-customize-is-hot\" class=\"heading-link\">#<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s high time for anyone to get involved with the\u00a0development of WordPress customizer. Help us\u00a0make <code>Customize<\/code>\u00a0component better. Other contributors like <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickHalsey_\">Nick Haley<\/a>\u00a0are making significant efforts\u00a0to help improve the user experience flow of WordPress. Just yesterday, he posted about &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/37661\">A New Experience for Discovering, Installing, and Previewing Themes in the Customizer<\/a>&#8220;. Which is incredible as compared to the current UX. He has already\u00a0completed the major structural development process. You\u00a0should definitely check it out.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"whats-next\">What&#8217;s Next?<a href=\"#whats-next\" class=\"heading-link\">#<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>I am half asleep while writing this post, was\u00a0pulling an all-nighter in the #core slack channel (expect a lot of grammatical mistakes in this article). But while I am at it, <strong>I should probably tell you about\u00a0a new project<\/strong>, which is in the ideation phase right now.
