WordPress 6.5, scheduled to land on [March 26th, 2024](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/11/06/proposal-2024-major-release-timing/), is actively underway. My friend [Anne](https://profiles.wordpress.org/annezazu/) shared _[Roadmap to 6.5](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/12/07/roadmap-to-6-5/)_ on the Make WordPress blog, detailing the ambitious goals for the first major release of next year.

The marquee planned additions are the [font library](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/55277), [colorways](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/53705), [patterns for classic themes](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/58827), [data views](https://href.li/?https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/55083) for templates and [patterns](/patterns/), more robust [revisions](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/55776), the [Interactivity API](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/56803), [custom fields](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/53300#issuecomment-1808020238), and [block binding](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/54536) APIs. Lots to look forward to!
