WordPress published a minor release today to last month’s major 6.0 upgrade. As this is a maintenance release, it’s a good idea to update but it’s not critical that you update it immediately. This update contains the following changes:

14 Core Bug Fixes:

#55668	skipOnAutomatedBranches() does not work as expected, take 2
#55681	block-templates theme support not present in /themes REST API endpoint
#55808	About page: Replace video thumbnail image
#55810	Twenty Ten: Unbump version number due to lack of functional changes.
