FYI. WordPress 4.9.8 was released yesterday. It is a maintenance release with bug fixes and enhancements.
One thing to note, there is now a “Try Gutenberg” callout letting them know about the Gutenberg editor and how to install it. Gutenberg will be released in WordPress 5.0.
In WordPress 4.9.8, the callout will be shown to the following users:
- If Gutenberg is not installed or activated, the callout will be shown to Admin users on single sites, and Super Admin users on multisites.
- If Gutenberg is installed and activated, the callout will be shown to Contributor users and above.
- If the Classic Editor plugin is installed and activated, the callout will be hidden for all users.
