Om de zoveel tijd log ik eens in op mijn weblog om te zien of er geen updates moeten gebeuren. 

(Nee, dat is niet automatisch, en ja, ik weet dat het automatisch kan, maar blijkbaar is er ergens iets mis met de FTP-instellingen, waardoor ik telkens manueel op de knop moet duwen. Neen, ik heb geen zin om op zoek te gaan naar wat het precies zou zijn. Het stoort mij niet heel erg.)

MAAR HOEDANOOK.

Er stond dat er een nieuwe versie van Gutenberg beschikbaar was, van 1.9.1 naar 2.0.0. Twee punt nul! Dat is een belangrijk iets, denk ik dan! En inderdaad, 't was de moeite waard, de veranderingen sinds de vorige versie:

Improve markdown pasting (allows lists to be interpreted). Allow pasting copied images directly. Pasting within lists and headings. Improve handling of inline spans. Allow copying a single block.

Urgh ja. Het belangrijkste voor mij, op het allereerste zicht, is stomweg "Allow continued writing when pressing down arrow at the end of a post." Als ge op de pijlnaarbeneden duwde of op een andere manier "voorbij het einde van de post" ging, dan liep het vast. Niet vast-vast, maar toch "ik moet de muis gebruiken vast". 

(En bij het testen, nu net, merk ik dat het probleem nog altijd optreedt als ge een stuk tekst selecteert bijvoorbeeld met ctrl-shift-links, en dan met ctrl-shift-rechts "voorbij het einde" gaat. Grr. Bug melden, dus.)

Maar behalve dat: ik heb er wat mee gespeeld en 't is een mirakel van schoon fatsoen aan het worden. En dat ik immens veel bewondering heb voor de mensen die het toch maar doen, zo'n belangrijk stuk van de toekomst van hun produkt in het volle zicht van de hele wereld ontwikkelen.
