= 6.8.1 =
*Release Date 13th May 2026*
* Security – ACF now correctly checks user permissions before running database upgrades on a specific site in a multisite network
* New – A `wp.data` store (`acf/fields`) is now available in ACF PRO for reading and writing ACF field values from JavaScript, which can be enabled via a new `acf/settings/enable_datastore` filter (requires WordPress 6.7 or later).
* New – ACF PRO block bindings now support live preview and editing in the block editor, when both the datastore and the `enable_block_bindings` setting are enabled.
* New – ACF PRO can now save metabox field values via Gutenberg’s native REST flow with full revision and autosave support when using the datastore.
* New – ACF PRO Blocks can now define their field group inline via an `acf.fields` array in `block.json`, or via a `fields` argument in `acf_register_block_type()`, with field keys auto-generated and scoped to the block
* Fix – Repeater and Flexible Content row helpers no longer trigger a PHP 8.x `TypeError` when `row_index_offset` or the active loop index is non-numeric
