WordPress 5.6 Beta 3 is now available for testing!

This software is still in development, so we recommend that you run this version on a test site.

You can test the WordPress 5.6 beta in two ways:

Try the WordPress Beta Tester plugin (choose the “bleeding edge nightlies” option).
Or download the beta here (zip).

The current target for the final release is December 8, 2020. This is just five weeks away, so your help is needed to ensure this release is tested properly.

Thank you to all of the contributors that tested the beta 2 development release and provided feedback. Testing for bugs is an important part of polishing each release and a great way to contribute to WordPress.

Some Highlights

Since beta 2, 20 bugs have been fixed. Here is a summary of a few changes included in beta 3:

Added block patterns for Twenty Twenty (see #51098) and Twenty Nineteen (see #51099) themes.
Added theme support for navigation-widgets (see #51445).
Fixed incorrect slashes in the URL if the parent is empty for REST API (see #44745).

10 additional bugs fixed in the block editor (see #26588).
