[#53032] - Record usage events for the comment form, sign-in, and block editor. [#53387] ### Changed - Embeds: show a provider's content without its script, and the URL rather than a preview on the edit-comment screen. [#53364] - Load less code on every page: the sign-in dialog loads when needed, and the comment editor downloads a smaller bundle. [#53375] - Match core's busy and disabled button states on the submit buttons, and keep theme button styles off the editor toolbar. [#53260] - Match the updated WordPress.com sign-in contract, and keep returning commenters signed in for 30 days.

[#53415] - Replace the identity menu with one link beside the commenter's name: Change for guests and Log out for anyone signed in.

[#53391] - Hide the plain textarea once the editor mounts, even in themes that style it by ID. [#53293] - Identity: refuse a sign-in code posted from another site, take log-out by POST only, verify TLS on the exchange, and count email checks across sites. [#53343] - Keep the caret where the reader clicked when the comment editor opens. [#53318] - Keep the images, embeds, captions, and headings in comments written with the previous editor, as links and text. [#53370] - Keep the submit button inside the comment box in themes that offset it. [#53294] - Let a saved guest switch to a WordPress.com sign-in when changing their details. [#53386] - Load the block editor and sign-in dialog on sites where a plugin combines scripts. [#53436] - Load the block editor in older Chromium browsers, such as Chrome 109 and Samsung Internet. [#53423] - Render blocks as plain text in the comment notification emails WordPress sends, instead of showing their raw markup.
