The results are the Aztec editors (one for iOS and one for Android), which should replace the current hybrid approach (JavaScript and HTML \u00bbWeb view\u00ab). To create a better solution, the team used the APIs from Apple and Google to create Aztec, to get an editing experience that feels like made for the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team hopes, that Aztec is seen as a component which can be used by other apps to provide a \u00bbRich HTML editing experience\u00ab. A few of the advantages of Aztec (quoted from Aaron Douglas\u2019 post):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Accessibility \u2013 Using OS-provided text controls makes every piece of what you can see to be visible to technologies like VoiceOver. [\u2026] Additionally we can now support dictation!<\/li><li>Spell Check \u2013 Something as simple as spell check is a nightmare to get working properly in the current hybrid editor. No longer a problem with Aztec! [\u2026]<\/li><li>Speed\/Performance \u2013 Aztec is so much faster and memory efficient since we have control over the small things.<\/li><li>Undo\/redo [\u2026]<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the editors are not ready to ship with the stable app release. You can test it via the beta versions of the apps if you have posts where it is not so terrible if the formatting would get lost. <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/mobile\/2017\/04\/08\/introducing-the-aztec-mobile-editors\/\">How to make this and more about the editors can be found in the post \u00bbIntroducing the Aztec Mobile Editors\u00ab by Aaron<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Theme review team<\/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\/themes\/2017\/04\/08\/restructuring-the-theme-review-team\/\">Restructuring the Theme Review Team<\/a>\u00ab.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plugins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plugin submissions are open again<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can submit your plugin to the theme directory again. With the new directory, there are a few changes, for example, you have to upload a ZIP and cannot longer provide an URL. The plugin slug is created from <code class=\"lang-markup\">Plugin name:<\/code> \u2014 if you called your plugin <em>My Cool Plugin<\/em>, the slug would be <code class=\"lang-markup\">my-cool-plugin<\/code>. In that case, you would get an email from the plugin team, because <code class=\"lang-markup\">plugin<\/code> is not allowed in the slugs, with the question if <code>my-cool<\/code> is okay. If there is an obvious typo, they will fix it. If they are not sure, they will email you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/plugins\/2017\/04\/06\/plugin-submissions-open\/\">More info about that in the post \u00bbPlugin Submissions Open\u00ab by Mika Epstein<\/a>.<\/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\/plugins\/2017\/04\/05\/reminder-how-svn-wordpress-org-works\/\">Reminder: How SVN on WordPress.org Works<\/a>\u00ab.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WP-CLI<\/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\/cli\/2017\/04\/03\/new-co-maintainer-alain-thanks-2017-sponsors\/#sponsors\">New co-maintainer, Alain \u2014 thanks 2017 sponsors<\/a>\u00ab.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mobile team introduced the Aztec editors, which work with the Google and Apple APIs to improve the editing experience in the mobile apps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3219,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wpf_show_in_dewp_planet_feed":false,"flobn_post_versions":"","webmentions_disabled_pings":false,"webmentions_disabled":false,"lazy_load_responsive_images_disabled":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[116],"class_list":["post-3471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wordpress","tag-wordpress-weekly-recap"],"wp-worthy-pixel":{"ignored":false,"public":"38f06ee1eca74667bd41e7888e5bade3","server":"vg07.met.vgwort.de","url":"https:\/\/vg07.met.vgwort.de\/na\/38f06ee1eca74667bd41e7888e5bade3"},"wp-worthy-type":"normal","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/florianbrinkmann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/florianbrinkmann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/florianbrinkmann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florianbrinkmann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florianbrinkmann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3471"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/florianbrinkmann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3471\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5900,"href":"https:\/\/florianbrinkmann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3471\/revisions\/5900"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florianbrinkmann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/florianbrinkmann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florianbrinkmann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florianbrinkmann.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
