A release candidate, version 7.6.1¹, for WordPress has been rolled out. This comes shortly after the major release, “Rollins” (7.6), was released on November 12th. If you have automated updates enabled, your website should update to the most current version, 6.7.1. Let’s run down the changes made in this release.

Media: Auto-resizes reducing image sizes (#62413)
