The new version contains security and bug fixes. <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/2017\/03\/wordpress-4-7-3-security-and-maintenance-release\/\">You find detailed information about WordPress 4.7.3 in the release post on WordPress.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dev chat from March 8<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First meeting topic was the recently released WordPress 4.7.3 and the upcoming version 4.7.4, which will be lead by Pascal Birchler. After that, the core team discussed browser support for the new editor again. The preliminary result is that the majority agree to drop support for older IE versions. The fallback question has to be further discussed \u2014 it would also be possible to use a mix like Jeffrey Paul suggested:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u00bbAnother option could be a blend of those. Start with \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060including two versions of TinyMCE in core\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060 and measure how much the older version is used over the course of, say, 4 months. Then \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060move the current implementation of TinyMCE into a plugin\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060 and see how many people install that plugin over the course of, say, 4 months. Then \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060use a simple textarea similar to the one in core now for when JavaScript is disabled\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060 as a fallback. We\u2019d only move from one step to the next if the measures in each step are at or below a previously agreed to benchmark.\u00ab<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.slack.com\/archives\/core\/p1489007839752015\"><cite>Jeffrey Paul in #core Slack channel<\/cite><\/a><cite>.<\/cite><\/p><cite>Jeffrey Paul in #core Slack channel<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The TinyMCE team would also like to drop support for old IE versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Misc<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u00bb<a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/core\/2017\/03\/11\/continuing-inline-docs-improvements-adjacent-to-4-8\/\">Continuing inline docs improvements adjacent to 4.8<\/a>\u00ab.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Misc<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u00bb\ud83c\udfaf<a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/design\/2017\/03\/09\/%f0%9f%8e%af-core-editor-meeting-notes-2017-03-08\/\">Core Editor Meeting Notes 2017-03-08<\/a>\u00ab.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Polyglots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Misc<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u00bb<a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/polyglots\/2017\/03\/09\/notes-from-the-polyglots-chats-on-march-8th\/\">Notes from the Polyglots chats on March 8th<\/a>\u00ab.
