WordPress 5.5 “Eckstine” Available

WordPress version 5.5 “Eckstine” is now available for download from WordPress.org or updating via site dashboard. The new version is named “Eckstine” in honor of Billy Eckstine, an American jazz and pop singer and a bandleader during the swing era.

Improvements include changes to the block editor, inline image editing, improved content previews, automated updates for plugins, and new built in XML sitemaps.

More features of WordPress 5.5:

Speed: Posts and pages feel faster, thanks to lazy-loaded images.

Search: WordPress 5.5 includes an XML sitemap that helps search engines discover your most important pages.

Security: Now you can choose to update plugins and themes automatically, or pick which ones you need.
