A Detailed Overview of WordPress 5.5:

WordPress Core currently supports auto-updating, but WordPress 5.5 will introduce auto-updates for themes and plugins, as well. There are a number of plugins that already offer this ability (I’ve even written one), but this change brings it into the core and will provide settings to opt in or out of these updates. WordPress 5.5 is on the way and is slated for release on August 11th, 2020. After WordPress 5.4, this will be the second major WordPress release of the year, offering you tons of new features and improvements to enhance your overall content-publishing experience.
