Plugin: Synchronize PHP changes for WordPress 6.5 release

[getdave]

The issue tracks changes to PHP files that (might) need to be backported and merged to Core for the WordPress 6.5 release. The list is exhaustive so it may cover multiple PRs and experimental changes that won't be in 6.5.

Beta 1 is February 13, 2024

• Release schedule
• 6.5 Roadmap

Tips 👀

• Check whether files in your PR really do need backporting - if they don't please leave a comment to that effect and apply strikethrough to the line item in question.
• Please open a new Core Trac ticket for each PR and link it next to the citation in this issue. 🙇
• For ease of cross-linking and tracking, you can submit your PRs to WordPress/wordpress-develop. Refer to docs on how to fork the repository and create a PR. Link any backport PR next to the citation in this issue. 🙇
• Try to limit PRs to one feature to make reviewing easier and the commit history clear. See why
• Modifications/additions to PHP unit tests aren't listed: any unit tests introduced in the cited PRs should also be ported over where applicable. These are now listed 🎉
• Once your backport PR is up, add it to the WordPress 6.5 Editor Tasks project board so folks can review it. Thank you!
• PRs marked with ⚠️ may have previously been backported to WP Core. Please check these particularly carefully.

❗ This is a living document and will be constantly updated as we approach beta. Sorry if you were mistakenly pinged! If a file or files have already been backported, please tick them off and link to the backport PR/trac issue.

Or, if the changes are not slated for WordPress 6.5, you can strike them or make a comment in this issue. Thank you! 🙇

For #56100 and #54801 I have already created a Trac ticket but didn't yet get any response if it is necessary. Any help/info is appreciated.
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/59906

[t-hamano]

My understanding is that the code regarding the Font Library (lib/experimental/fonts, phpunit/tests/fonts/font-library) does not exist in the core at all yet. If we ship the font library to WP6.5, can it be backported in one PR?

[andrewserong]

Thanks for the pings, Dave! 🙇 I've double-checked that we've already done all the background image backports, but I'd missed a small layout backport. I've opened a core PR in WordPress/wordpress-develop#5900 for trac ticket 60292 for that one.

[Mamaduka]

Thanks for the ping, Dave. I marked #54836 as completed. It doesn't need the core backport.

[ntsekouras]

I marked #54966 as completed as it doesn't need any backport. PHP changes are just adding an experiment option for the plugin.

[kt-12]

#56952 can be marked complete as it doesn't need PHP backport. 6.5 compact files have a shim for backward compatibility and can be removed when WP 6.5 becomes the minimum requirement for this plugin, need not be migrated to the core.

@t-hamano Thanks for checking this! Yes, the current plan is to backport everything for the Font Library in one PR.

[mikachan]

Noting that the Fonts API has been deprecated and the files related to it will be removed once the Font Library is merged into Core. Please see this PR for more info: #57972

That should mean we can remove/tick the following from the backport list:

• Fix fatal error in WP_Fonts_Resolver::get_settings() #56067
• Fix fatal error in WP_Fonts_Resolver::get_settings() #55981

[youknowriad]

@mikachan when can we expect the font library merge? Can we accelerate there a little bit, even if it means we follow-up with bug fixes?

[mikachan]

when can we expect the font library merge?

We're planning on opening a Core PR as soon as this feature branch is merged into GB trunk. We're planning on doing this no later than Tuesday 23 Jan, but it's reliant on how quickly we can receive feedback on that branch.

[youknowriad]

@mikachan Great, let me know if you need help ensuring people give the feedback on time :)

[anton-vlasenko]

Thank you for the ping.

1. Fix code style in Gutenberg_HTML_Tag_Processor_6_5 #57030
   This one has been backported; I've marked it as such.

2. Fix fatal error in WP_Fonts_Resolver::get_settings() #55981

This PR does not require backporting, as per @mikachan's comment here: #55981 (comment)

3. Don't change error handling in WP_Theme_JSON_Gutenberg::set_spacing_sizes() #55354
   I've created a backport PR for it:
