• Style Switching: switch up the look and feel of your site, all in one block theme. No need to change themes!
• More template options: use blocks to edit five more templates (author, date, categories, tag, and taxonomy).
• Multi-select: Easily select text across multiple blocks. Edit to your liking.
• Retain Styles: Keep your custom styles in place, whether transforming between blocks or creating new buttons. 
• More patterns in more places: the Quick Inserter surfaces patterns that might work well for the condition you’re in, baking in relevant patterns for template parts and pages you’re working on. 
• List View improvements: New keyboard shortcuts (shift + click) let you select multiple blocks to modify in bulk (reposition, delete, etc.), see your content at a glance with a collapsed by default view, and more.
• Refined design tools: Explore a new color panel, transparency options, more group block variations to create new layout options (Stack, Row), the ability to set your featured image in a Cover block, control the exact size of your featured image, gap support for the Gallery block, and more.
• New blocks: Various Post Comments, Read More, No Results in Query Loop, Post Author Biography, Avatar blocks. 
• Block Locking: Choose to disable the option to remove a block, move it, or both, right in the editor. 
• Export block themes: Explore the improved block theme export tool, as WordPress heads closer to codeless visual block theme building.
