Gutenberg feature watch list

[carolinan]

In this issue we can keep track of possible changes to Gutenberg that can affect the theme.

• Theme Support: Enable custom units by default
  The theme currently includes add_theme_support( 'custom-units' );
  If this will be enabled by default, the above will no longer be needed.

• Updates to the search block (Fix search block styling #103)

• Updates to the separator Add Align support to Separator block gutenberg#25147

• Updates to the column block Use UnitControl instead of RangeControl for column width gutenberg#24711

• Alignments added to headings block Heading block: add wide and full width options gutenberg#25917

@youknowriad Regarding the add_theme_support( 'custom-units' ); with WordPress/gutenberg#25217
did I understand correctly that non FSE themes -themes without the json file do neither add support nor opt out?

[youknowriad]

Right now, it's opt-out for everyone in the plugin. (Not yet in Core)

Updates to the search block:

#103

[melchoyce]

As new featured to watch come in, let's add to the checklist in the first post.

[carolinan]

I forgot that the search block was here and created this issue: #324

Changes are also found in the 9.2 milestone https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/milestone/132?closed=1

Separator alignments tested without issues

Heading block: untestable because of bugs already reported WordPress/gutenberg#26335

[carolinan]

The columns block works well, with the exception of the overlapping block patterns. I'd like to ask @kjellr to test this:

When I change the width of the columns after adding the overlapping images pattern, the view does not change on the front.
The front and the editor should match.
Sample code:

Thanks! I opened #653 to take care of that.
