Changelog

Drafting (#39896) and scheduling (#28721) of changes in the Customizer. Once you save or schedule a changeset, when any user comes into the Customizer the pending changes will be autoloaded. A button is provided to discard changes to restore the Customizer to the last published state. (This is a new “linear” mode for changesets, as opposed to “branching” mode which can be enabled by filter so that every time user opens the Customizer a new blank changeset will be started.)
Addition of a frontend preview link to the Customizer to allow changes to be browsed on the frontend, even without a user being logged in (#39896).
Addition of autosave revisions in the Customizer (#39275).
A brand new theme browsing experience in the Customizer (#37661).
Gallery widget (#41914), following the media and image widgets introduced in 4.8.
Support for shortcodes in Text widgets (#10457).
Support for adding media to Text widgets (#40854).
Support for adding oEmbeds outside post content, including Text widgets (#34115).
Support for videos from providers other than YouTube and Vimeo in the Video widget (#42039)
Improve the flow for creating new menus in the Customizer (#40104).
Educated guess mapping of nav menus and widgets when switching themes (#39692).
Plugins: Introduce singular capabilities for activating and deactivating individual plugins (#38652).
Sandbox PHP file edits in both plugins and themes, without auto-deactivation when an error occurs; a PHP edit that introduces a fatal error is rolled back with an opportunity then for the user to fix the error and attempt to re-save. (#21622).
Addition of dirty state for widgets on the admin screen, indicating when a widget has been successfully saved and showing an “Are you sure?” dialog when attempting to leave without saving changes. (#23120, #41610)

As always, there have been exciting changes for developers to explore as well, such as:

CodeMirror editor added to theme/plugin editor, Custom CSS in Customizer, and Custom HTML widgets. Integration includes support for linters to catch errors before you attempt to save. Includes new APIs for plugins to instantiate editors. (#12423)
Introduction of an extensible code editor control for adding instances of CodeMirror to the Customizer. (#41897)
Addition of global notifications area (#35210), panel and section notifications (#38794), and a notification overlay that takes over the entire screen in the Customizer (#37727).
A date/time control in the Customizer (#42022).
Improve usability of Customize JS API (#42083, #37964, #36167).
Introduction of control templates for base controls (#30738).
Use WP_Term_Query when transforming tax queries (#37038).
Database: Add support for MySQL servers connecting to IPv6 hosts (#41722).
Emoji: Bring Twemoji compatibility to PHP (#35293). Test for any weirdness with emoji in RSS feeds or emails.
I18N: Introduce the Plural_Forms class (#41562).
Media: Upgrade MediaElement.js to 4.2.5-74e01a40 fixing missing mejs.MediaElement reference (#39686).
Media: Use max-width for default captions (#33981). We will want to make sure this doesn’t cause unexpected visual regressions in existing themes, default themes were all fine in testing.
Media: Reduce duplicated custom header crops in the Customizer (#21819).
Media: Store video creation date in meta (#35218). Please help test different kinds of videos.

Multisite: Improve get_blog_details() by using get_site_by() (#40228).
Multisite: Improve initializing available roles when switch sites (#38645).
Multisite: Initialize a user’s roles correctly when setting them up for a different site (#36961).
REST API: Support registering complex data structures for settings and meta
REST API: Support for objects in schema validation and sanitization (#38583)
Role/Capability: Introduce capabilities dedicated to installing and updating language files (#39677).
Remove SWFUpload (#41752).
Users: Require a confirmation link in an email to be clicked when a user attempts to change their email address (#16470).

Whats new:>>

Fixes an issue where $wpdb->prepare() can create unexpected and unsafe queries leading to potential SQL injection (SQLi). WordPress core is not directly vulnerable to this issue, but we’ve added hardening to prevent plugins and themes from accidentally causing a vulnerability.
Also includes a change in behaviour for the esc_sql() function.

Changelog

An XSS vulnerability was discovered in the Flash fallback files in MediaElement, a library that is included with WordPress. Because the Flash files are no longer needed for most use cases, they have been removed from WordPress. MediaElement has released a new version that contains a fix for the bug, and a WordPress plugin containing the fixed files is available in the plugin repository.

21 other bugs were fixed in WordPress 4.9.2. Particularly of note were:

JavaScript errors that prevented saving posts in Firefox have been fixed.
The previous taxonomy-agnostic behavior of get_category_link() and category_description() was restored.
Switching themes will now attempt to restore previous widget assignments, even when there are no sidebars to map.

Thank you to the reporters of these issues for practicing coordinated security disclosure: xknown of the WordPress Security Team, Nitin Venkatesh (nitstorm), and Garth Mortensen of the WordPress Security Team.

Twenty-five other bugs were fixed in WordPress 4.9.5. Particularly of note were:

The previous styles on caption shortcodes have been restored.
