 ## Unreleased
 
+## 17.2.0-next.0 (2026-09-17)
+
+### Internal
+
+-   Remove the `crossorigin` MutationObserver. Under `Document-Isolation-Policy: isolate-and-credentialless` cross-origin resources load without the attribute, and adding it broke any resource served without CORS headers ([#82614](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82614)).
+
+### New Features
+
+-   Add a text shadow block support and its control in the typography panel ([#79584](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79584)).
+
+### Enhancements
+
+-   Remove the `react-autosize-textarea` dependency. `PlainText` and the block "Edit as HTML" field now auto-grow with CSS `field-sizing: content`. Browsers without support use scrollable fields. `PlainText` consumers should use CSS height constraints instead of `rows` ([#64208](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/64208)).
+-   `BlockCard`: Migrate the block-type badge from the private Components `Badge` to `@wordpress/ui` `Badge`. ([#82503](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82503)).
+-   Inspector controls in the standard block-supports panels (Typography, Dimensions, Border, Color, Background, Filters) reflect the value a block inherits from Global Styles when nothing is set on the block. The `gutenberg-global-styles-inheritance-ui` experiment now gates only the indicators for that value: the dotted underline on an inherited label, and the dot that resets a local override ([#82840](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82840)).
+-   `TypographyPanel`: Setting a text color starts an unset link color tracking it whenever no link color is set on the block or inherited from Global Styles. Previously the link color was left alone ([#82840](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82840)).
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+-   `LinkControl`: Only label pages as the front page or blog home. Posts, terms and media are separate tables and can share an id, so an unscoped search could label a term "Front page" ([#83082](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/83082)).
+-   `InnerBlocks`: Resolve a container's legacy layout markup (`inherit: true`, or a bare `contentSize` / `wideSize` with no `type`) to a constrained layout for its inner blocks, so they are offered the wide and full alignments. Previously only the container's styles honoured the legacy form, and the inner blocks resolved to the flow layout ([#82637](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82637)).
+-   Block Patterns, Block Visibility, and Block Lock: Preserve the intended colors of icons converted to strokes. ([#82540](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82540), [#82754](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82754))
+-   Layout: Treat a missing `spacing.blockGap` setting as no block gap support, as the server does. A theme that does not opt into block gap has the setting stored as `null`, which the block settings resolve to `undefined`, so per-block layout styles applied block gap values the front end never renders. An editor that never provides the setting must set it to `true` to keep rendering block gap values ([#82401](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82401)).
+-   Block Toolbar: Show the parent block selector for blocks inside patterns and `contentOnly` locked blocks. It selects the nearest parent shown in List View and the breadcrumb ([#82912](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82912)).
+
+### Internal
+
+-   Block bindings and variation transforms: Use the public `Menu` from `@wordpress/ui` instead of the private Components API. ([#81925](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/81925))
+-   Layout hooks: Use `normalizeLegacyLayout` in `useLayoutClasses`, `useLayoutStyles`, the block layout styles wrapper and `isAxialBlockGapAllowed`, replacing four inline copies of the legacy `inherit` / size check ([#82710](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82710)).
+-   Extract the populated pattern category computation from `usePatternCategories` into a `getPopulatedCategories` util, and expose it and `searchItems` through private APIs for reuse by the start page options modal ([#81396](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/81396)).

 ### Enhancements
 
+-   `BlockAlignmentControl`: List Wide and Full width as unavailable when a parent layout withholds them but the theme itself offers them, instead of removing them from the menu without explanation. A theme that offers neither keeps them hidden, since it is curating its own options. Blocks whose only alignments are wide and full, such as Group and Columns, now keep an alignment control in layouts that offer neither ([#82600](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82600)).
 -   Borders: rename the "Border & Shadow" panel to "Borders", whichever of its controls are available, and always show the Border and Shadow controls' visible labels. A stable panel title is what lets the Border label render unconditionally, so its "Unlink sides" toggle lines up with the border radius one ([#82163](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82163)).
 -   `ListView`: Updated to use `outset-ring__focus()` mixin for focus outline wherever applicable instead of the previous box-shadow implementation. ([#82129](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82129))
