Code Updates

Accessibility

  • Improve the focus style on the Credits screen. Leads and contributing developers will now look nicer when focused. Also, combines adjacent image and text links for the same resource thus simplifying markup and reducing noise for screen reader users. [36406] #34953
  • Accessibility: Improve the color contrast ratio replacing the residual occurrences of the #777 gray. Uses the existing #72777c on white backgrounds and the new #555d66 “dark medium gray” on darker backgrounds. [36396] #35605
  • Fix the color contrast ratio in the login screen. [36395] #31548
  • Remove title attributes from the Menus screen. [36379] #35374

Cache API

  • Pass $clean_taxonomy param to ‘clean_term_cache’ action. [36399] #35611

Comments

  • Fire an action after a comment is removed from object cache. When a comment is removed from the object cache, the clean_comment_cache action is now fired. This provides plugin and theme developers a chance to perform secondary cache invalidation as needed. [36405] #35610
  • In comments list table, $post_id should default to false rather than 0. [36387] #35090
  • Allow comment query results to be limited to comments with comment_post_ID = 0. [36381] #35090
  • Ignore hierarchy in pagination calculation when comment threading is disabled. Merges [36275] to the 4.4 branch. [36362] #8071, #35419
  • Respect all post-related filters in WP_Comment_Query. Merges [36326] to the 4.4 branch. Fixes #35478. [36361] #35478
  • Use the post-filter WHERE clause when querying for comment descendants. Merges [36277] to the 4.4 branch. Fixes #35192. [36357] #35192
  • Always respect $comments array passed to wp_list_comments(). Merges [36276] to the 4.4 branch. [36356] #35175, #35356
  • In comments_template(), don’t run hierarchical queries if comment threading is disabled. Merges [36226] to the 4.4 branch. [36353] #35378

Customizer

  • Use “(Untitled)” as site title if blogname is empty. Fixes #35579. [36388] #35579
  • Add shift-click on nav menu items in preview to focus on corresponding nav menu item controls in pane. [36383] #32681
  • Hide help toggle button in panel when no description is supplied. This aligns with the .customize-panel-description element which is also excluded if there is no description. [36374] #35540
  • Fix click.preview event handler for jump links and shift+clicks in preview. Fixes #26005. [36371] #32681, #26005
  • Prevent erroneously directing user to login screen when closing. Fixes #35355. [36363] #32637, #35355
  • Respect custom pagination params when using wp_list_comments() in a query loop. Merges [36324] to the 4.4 branch. [36360] #35402

Documentation

  • Correct return value for is_allowed_http_origin(). [36398] #35607
  • Clarify that mu-plugins can’t be “active” in docs. [36397]
  • Fix parameter documentation ordering in the hook docs for the register_taxonomy_args filter. [36391] #32246

Editor

  • TinyMCE: add inline link dialog. First run. Links the advanced button to the “old” dialog for now. [36384] #33301
  • TinyMCE: remove the srcset and sizes attributes (if any) after replacing or editing an image. [36376] #35434

Emoji

  • Work around a mod_security rule which prevents pages with 4 or more instances of String.fromCharCode( from being served. [36359] #35412

I18n

  • Add the text domain to translate_nooped_plural() calls as well. [36390] #34126
  • Add a test for the add-textdomain.php script. [36389]

Media

  • In _wp_handle_upload(), move ending brace to a new line. [36373] #35565
  • When reusing the initial values from the global MediaElement config object, the config object should first be cloned. Objects in JS are references that will retain any changes. Fixes #34152. [36364] #34152

Multisite

Plugins

  • Pass data consistently on plugin, network plugin, and network theme screens. [36394] #35335

  • On the Taxonomies screens, prevent a page reload when pressing Enter on a focused field. Merges [36260 to the 4.4 branch. [36355] #35401

Posts, Post Types

  • Allow is_post_type_viewable() to accept a post type name. Previously, it accepted only a post type object. [36402] #35609
  • Add tests for is_post_type_viewable(). [36401] #35609

Taxonomy

  • Populate term cache with proper clone of term objects. Merges [36323] to the 4.4 branch. [36358] #35462

Themes

  • Themes: Enhance filtering options for allowed themes on a network. [36366] #28436

TinyMCE

  • Update to 4.3.3. Update the QUnit tests and revert back to testing the non-minified files in /src. [36352] #35539

Upgrade/Install

  • Switch the locking mechanism to using static methods so that it can be accessed from other upgrade-classes. [36370] #34878

Widgets

  • Show the “Clear Inactive Widgets” button only after the sidebar with inactive widgets. Merges [36326] to the 4.4 branch. [36369] #35447
