1.30.0 - Make the WordPress system emails look like they came from your site

WordPress sends its password resets and account notices as plain text that could have come from any site on the internet. 1.30.0 adds the option to send them as HTML carrying the site's own logo, colour and fonts, with a new Appearance > Email Branding screen to switch it on and rewrite what the four most visible ones say. It ships off — updating changes nothing an account holder receives until a site opts in. The Login Screen customiser moves to Appearance beside it, and both now inherit the block theme's main colour when no colour is set.

1.28.2 - Taxonomy fields suggest something before you type

Clicking a field in the Consolidated Taxonomy Panel before typing anything opened a dropdown with nothing in it, so an editor had to guess at a term name before the field would show them anything. It now lists the whole taxonomy on that first click, most-used terms first. The release zip also drops about a megabyte of npm lockfiles that were never used at runtime.

1.28.1 - Put the taxonomy fields in the order people work in

Version 1.28.1 finishes the job 1.28.0 started. The consolidated Taxonomies panel showed its fields in whatever order the taxonomies happened to be registered in, which meant the field an editor used on every single record could sit at the bottom with no way to move it. Administrators can now order them, from the same picker, saved once for everyone.

1.28.0 - Take control of the document sidebar

Version 1.28.0 gives administrators two ways to fix a document sidebar that has grown unusable. Panels can be dragged into the order editors actually work in, saved once for everyone on the site. And a post type's taxonomies can be collapsed into a single panel of chip fields, chosen in the editor by the person looking at the sidebar they are fixing. Both replace the hand-written nth-child() CSS that sites have been using for this, which silently reorders the wrong panel the moment a conditional panel appears.

Version 1.16.0 introduces a Google Maps Directions block, options to omit links on core post-terms blocks, and allows specifying a custom Post ID for the MFB block via shortcode. Classic editor support is added for the classic-editor CPT. The [yoko_content] shortcode now returns comma-delimited lists for array values.
