- i18n - Added Danish translation
Added
- ACF now integrates with the WordPress Abilities API, allowing external consumers (AI tools) to manage field groups, post types, and taxonomies when explicitly enabled via the `enable_acf_ai` feature flag
- ACF can now generate JSON-LD structured data fields when explicitly enabled via the `enable_schema` feature flag
- ACF now includes WP-CLI support with new `wp acf json` commands for importing, exporting, syncing, and checking the status of ACF JSON files
- ACF custom post Types now support the WordPress 6.9+ "Notes" editor feature via a new "Notes" checkbox in the Supports settings
- The Blocks V3 "Open in Expanded Editor" button text can now be customized via a new `acf.expandedEditorButtonText` block.json property
- A new `acf/blocks/default_expanded_editor_button_text` PHP filter allows customizing the default "Open in Expanded Editor" button text for all V3 blocks
- The Blocks V3 edit and "Open in Expanded Editor" buttons can now be hidden via a new `acf.expandedEditorButtons` block.json property
- A new `blocks/expanded_editor_overlay_class` JS filter allows customizing the CSS class on the Expanded Editor modal overlay
- ACF Blocks V3 now preloads the block form HTML alongside the preview, eliminating an extra AJAX call on mount
- ACF inline script tags now use `wp_print_inline_script_tag()` for Content Security Policy (CSP) compliance and nonce support
- The Expanded Editor buttons are now hidden for V3 blocks that have no fields assigned
Fixed
- Flexible Content fields now properly clean up nested postmeta when a parent layout containing nested Flexible Content fields is deleted

- Range field number input now syncs to the slider and correctly updates V3 block previews
- Message field Name and Instructions settings are no longer shown in the field group editor
- Image field no longer crashes in WordPress 7.0 release candidates
- Auto Inline Editing blocks now receive block context variables in render templates
- V3 blocks registered via PHP now correctly show the "Open in Expanded Editor" button
