20264 releases

  1. Canvas 2.5.5Latest

    • Fix: Tab blocks now correctly display one tab at a time in the editor instead of stacking all tab contents vertically.
    • Fix: Tab labels are now shown in the editor after reloading a post and can be cleared and renamed freely.
    • Fix: Reducing the number of tabs no longer hides all tab content when the active tab was removed.
    • Fix: The column resize handle appears again when hovering a column in the editor, and is correctly positioned when a custom gap is set.
    • Fix: Collapsible items no longer show extra vertical spacing and missing separators in the editor.
    • Maintenance: Added missing translation text domains in the Tabs block editor and removed deprecated editor component props.
    • Maintenance: Updated the “Requires at least” value to WordPress 5.6 to reflect the actual block editor requirements.

  2. Canvas 2.5.4

    • Fix: Tab blocks created with older versions of the plugin no longer show as invalid in the editor. Added a block deprecation to handle the previous save output that included the wp-block-canvas-tab class.
    • Updated icon font for improved compatibility

  3. Canvas 2.5.3

    • Security: Fixed an authenticated (Contributor+) stored XSS in the Section Heading block via the “tag” block attribute (CVE-2026-9629). Tag names are now validated against an allowlist (h1–h6, div, p) and heading text is sanitized.
    • Security: Hardened output escaping across blocks, including tab and collapsible titles and the Posts block title tag.
    • Compatibility: Tested up to WordPress 7.0.
    • Maintenance: Resolved WordPress Plugin Check issues — added direct file access protection, translation text domains, and output-escaping improvements throughout the plugin.

  4. Canvas 2.5.2

    • Added compatibility with WordPress 6.9.
    • Migrated all custom blocks to Block API version 3 for iframe editor compatibility.
