7.1

With the release of 7.0 earlier today, trunk is finally open to any and all commits for WordPress 7.1.

Trunk is now WordPress 7.1-alpha

While the common practice is for trunk to open once the next release has been branched, closing the primary branch to any commits unrelated to 7.0 was necessary to avoid making it more complicated to add, modify, or remove features from the release during the extension to the cycle to evaluate the state and readiness of the Real-time collaboration feature.

Thank you to everyone for your continued patience.

Backporting to the numbered branches

As a reminder, the “double signoff” policy applies to changes being made to any numbered version branch. The dev-feedback commit keywords should be used to request a second committer’s review, with dev-reviewed being added after an additional signoff is given.

More information on this process can be found in the Make WordPress Core Handbook.

Props @jorbin, @audrasjb, @amykamala, @4thhubbard, @mosescursor for peer review.
