This is the release that puts Tested up to: 7.1 in front of users. The claim merged in #159, but wordpress.org serves the tag, and v1.5.2 predates it — so the listing still reads 7.0 today. WordPress 7.1 ships now.

What's in it

Six user-facing fixes since 1.5.2, all 7.1 fallout or found while testing against it:

Testing the first fix is what surfaced the next three: they are the same defect — an entry point offered where it cannot work — and three of them predate 7.1 entirely.

Verification

Version strings bumped by bin/prep-release.sh. Unit 167, JS 83, phpcs clean, doc-links clean. The full e2e suite ran green against a real 7.1-RC4-63322 build throughout this work (64 passed / 28 skipped at last run).

After merge

Tag v1.5.3 on main to trigger the deploy. Until that tag exists, wordpress.org keeps serving 1.5.2 and showing "Tested up to 7.0".

Six user-facing fixes since 1.5.2, all of them WordPress 7.1 fallout or
found while testing against it.

7.1 keeps the toolbar on screen in the post and site editors, where it
used to be hidden. That made Maestro's Edit Menu button reachable on
screens with no admin menu to edit — and testing the fix surfaced three
siblings of the same defect that predate 7.1: narrow viewports, the site
editor dead end, and the inert Collapse menu button.

Also fixes unsaved posts raising a browser "Leave site?" prompt when
entering or leaving edit mode, by autosaving first. Autosave, never
savePost: a published post keeps the version readers see.

Version strings bumped by bin/prep-release.sh. readme.txt carries the
changelog and Upgrade Notice in the plain user-facing voice the previous
entries use — what changed and what it means for the reader, not the
mechanism.

This is the release that puts "Tested up to: 7.1" in front of users:
the claim merged in #159 but wordpress.org serves the tag, and v1.5.2
predates it.
