## Unreleased

## 7.4.0 (2026-09-10)

### Enhancements

-   Add New Template: Use the Button component's focus ring instead of the legacy `box-shadow` ones ([#80138](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/80138)).

### Bug Fixes

-   `Layout`: Add a root `ErrorBoundary`, so a throw outside the per-area ones no longer blanks the screen. ([#82486](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82486))
-   `WelcomeGuide`: Keep the modal close icon white on hover now that it is stroke-based. ([#78812](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78812))
-   `SidebarNavigationItem`: Stop forcing `style={ { fill: 'currentcolor' } }` on the icon. The explicit override was clobbering stroke-based icons' intrinsic styling. Colour is inherited via CSS `color` and the icon's own declared fills/strokes. ([#78808](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78808))
-   `AddNewTemplate`: Preserve the admin theme color on the Author template icon after it became stroke-based. ([#78808](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/78808))

### Internal

-   `PostList`: Stop re-sorting the fetched page in memory when the view sorts by author. The author field now sorts by author id, the same order the REST API already returns for `orderby=author`, so the re-sort no longer changes anything ([#82559](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82559)).
-   Stop registering the `editorTool` preference default; the Write/Design tool that read it was removed in [#72193](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/72193) ([#82677](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82677)).
-   Remove the template activation (`active_templates`) experiment: the Templates page and its sidebar always use the previous (non-activation) implementations ([#82241](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82241)).
-   Remove the `showListViewByDefault` handling from `useAdaptEditorToCanvas`; the `editor` package now applies the preference on the preview ↔ edit transition itself.
-   Remove unused dependencies `@wordpress/blob`, `@wordpress/date`, `@wordpress/escape-html`, etc. ([#82103](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82103)).
-   Use the `.jsx` extension for JavaScript source files that contain JSX ([#80990](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/80990)).
-   Remove tsconfig project references to packages that are not dependencies ([#82106](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82106)).

## 7.3.0 (2026-08-26)

### Enhancements

-   Offer the Export tool only while editing a template or a template part, the entities the exported theme is made of. The menu item now lives in the editor package ([#81992](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/81992)).

### Bug Fixes

-   Seed the root `ThemeProvider` with the admin color scheme primary color so portaled popovers and modals receive the scheme's accent colors ([#81653](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/81653)).

### Enhancements

-   Unify the Site Editor sidebar section descriptions for Templates, Pages, Navigation, and Patterns. ([#60304](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/60304))

### Internal

-   Seed content-surface `ThemeProvider` backgrounds with `#fcfcfc` instead of `#ffffff`, matching the design system default and preserving room for stronger and weaker neutral surface tokens ([#81646](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/81646)).

-   Stop rendering `EditorKeyboardShortcutsRegister`, which the editor provider now renders itself ([#81580](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/81580)).

### Bug Fixes

-   Open an entity at the width its `viewport` param asks for through the editor provider rather than a sync effect, so the width comes from the theme's breakpoints rather than the defaults, and stop writing the current width back into the param when leaving an entity ([#81750](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/81750)).

## 7.2.0 (2026-08-12)

### Bug Fixes

-   Identity: Decode HTML entities in the Site Title and Site Tagline fields. ([#81269](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/81269))

## 7.1.0 (2026-07-29)

## 7.0.0 (2026-07-14)

### Breaking Changes

-   Raise the required Node.js version to `^20.19.0` or `>=22.13.0`. ([#80063](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/80063))

### Enhancements

-   Update template-selection labels from the legacy medium weight to the emphasis font-weight token ([#80093](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/80093)).
-   Widen React peer dependency ranges to `^18 || ^19` to support both React 18 and React 19 environments ([#80024](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/80024)).
