## Unreleased

## 9.0.0 (2021-05-14)

### Breaking Changes

-   Drop support for Internet Explorer 11 ([#31110](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/31110)). Learn more at https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/04/22/ie-11-support-phase-out-plan/.
-   Increase the minimum Node.js version to v12 matching Long Term Support releases ([#31270](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/31270)). Learn more at https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/.

### New API

-   `registerBlockTypeFromMetadata` method can be used to register a block type using the metadata loaded from `block.json` file ([#30293](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/30293)).

## 8.0.0 (2021-03-17)

### Breaking Change

-   Reverted `cloneBlock` back to its original logic that doesn't sanitize block's attributes. [#28379](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/29111)

## 7.0.0 (2021-02-01)

### Breaking Change

-   `cloneBlock` now sanitizes the attributes to match the same logic `createBlock` has. [#28379](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/28379)

## 6.25.0 (2020-12-17)

### New Feature

-   Added a store definition `store` for the blocks namespace to use with `@wordpress/data` API ([#26655](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/26655)).

## 6.13.0 (2020-04-01)

### New Feature

-   Blocks can now be registered with an `defaultStylePicker` flag in the `supports` setting, allowing the default style picker to be removed.

## 6.4.0 (2019-08-05)

### Improvements

-   Omitting `attributes` or `keywords` settings will now stub default values (an empty object or empty array, respectively).

### Bug Fixes

-   The `'blocks.registerBlockType'` filter is now applied to each of a block's deprecated settings as well as the block's main settings. Ensures `supports` settings like `anchor` work for deprecations.

## 6.3.0 (2019-05-21)

### New Feature

-   Added a default implementation for `save` setting in `registerBlockType` which saves no markup in the post content.
-   Added wildcard block transforms which allows for transforming all/any blocks in another block.

## 6.1.0 (2019-03-06)

### New Feature

-   Blocks' `transforms` will receive `innerBlocks` as the second argument (or an array of each block's respective `innerBlocks` for a multi-transform).

### Bug Fixes

-   Block validation will now correctly validate character references, resolving some issues where a standalone ampersand `&` followed later in markup by a character reference (e.g. `&amp;`) could wrongly mark a block as being invalid. ([#13512](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/13512))

## 6.0.5 (2019-01-03)

## 6.0.4 (2018-12-12)

## 6.0.3 (2018-11-30)

## 6.0.2 (2018-11-21)

## 6.0.1 (2018-11-20)

## 6.0.0 (2018-11-15)

### Breaking Changes

-   `isValidBlock` has been removed. Please use `isValidBlockContent` instead but keep in mind that the order of params has changed.

### Bug Fix

-   The block validator is more lenient toward equivalent encoding forms.

## 5.3.1 (2018-11-12)

## 5.3.0 (2018-11-09)

### New feature

-   `getBlockAttributes`, `getBlockTransforms`, `getSaveContent`, `getSaveElement` and `isValidBlockContent` methods can now take also block's name as the first param ([#11490](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/11490)). Passing a block's type object continues to work as before.
-   `registerBlockStyles` and `unregisterBlockStyles` can be triggered at any moment (before or after block registration).

## 5.2.0 (2018-11-09)

-   Paste: Google Docs: fix nested formatting, sub, sup and del.
-   Expose @wordpress/editor to Gutenberg mobile.
-   Separate Paste Handler.

## 5.1.2 (2018-11-03)

## 5.1.1 (2018-10-30)

## 5.1.0 (2018-10-30)

### New features

### Deprecation

-   `isValidBlock` function has been deprecated ([#10891](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10891)). Use `isValidBlockContent` instead.

## 5.0.0 (2018-10-29)

### Breaking Changes

-   Attribute type coercion has been removed. Omit the source to preserve type via serialized comment demarcation.
-   `setUnknownTypeHandlerName` has been removed. Please use `setFreeformContentHandlerName` and `setUnregisteredTypeHandlerName` instead.
-   `getUnknownTypeHandlerName` has been removed. Please use `getFreeformContentHandlerName` and `getUnregisteredTypeHandlerName` instead.

### New Feature

-   Added a `unregisterBlockStyle()` function to remove a block style variation.

## 4.0.4 (2018-10-19)

## 4.0.3 (2018-10-18)

## 4.0.0 (2018-09-30)

### Breaking Changes

-   `getDefaultBlockForPostFormat` has been removed.

## 3.0.0 (2018-09-05)

### Breaking Changes

-   The `isSharedBlock` function is removed. Use `isReusableBlock` instead.
-   Change how required built-ins are polyfilled with Babel 7 ([#9171](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/9171)). If you're using an environment that has limited or no support for ES2015+ such as lower versions of IE then using [core-js](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js) or [@babel/polyfill](https://babeljs.io/docs/en/next/babel-polyfill) will add support for these methods.

### Deprecations

-   The `getDefaultBlockForPostFormat` function has been deprecated.
