REST API endpoints for your WordPress content. These endpoints provide machine-readable external access to your WordPress site with a clear, standards-driven interface, allowing new and innovative apps for interacting with your site. These endpoints support all of the following:
- Posts: Read and write access to all post data, for all types of post-based data, including pages and media.
- Comments: Read and write access to all comment data. This includes pingbacks and trackbacks.
- Terms: Read and write access to all term data.
- Users: Read and write access to all user data. This includes public access to some data for post authors.
- Meta: Read and write access to metadata for posts, comments, terms, and users, on an opt-in basis from plugins.
- Settings: Read and write access to settings, on an opt-in basis from plugins and core. This enables API management of key site content values that are technically stored in options, such as site title and byline.
Love your REST API, WordPress! The infrastructure says, "Let's do lunch!" but the content API endpoints say, "You're paying!"

* Custom CSS is associated with a given theme and is displayed in an inline `style` element at the `wp_head` hook after the `wp_print_styles` is called so that it overrides any enqueued stylesheets.
* A `wp_get_custom_css()` function is used for accessing the CSS associated with the current theme (or another theme) and a `wp_get_custom_css` filter for manipulating it.
* CSS is managed in customizer via a new "Additional CSS" section with a single `textarea` control.
* `WP_Customize_Section::$description_hidden` is introduced for hiding extended descriptions in customizer sections behind a help toggle as done with panels.
* CSS is stored in a `custom_css` post type with the theme (stylesheet) slug as the `post_name`.
* `WP_Customize_Custom_CSS_Setting` is introduced to handle validation of CSS, previewing, and persisting the CSS to the `custom_css` post type.
* The `custom_css` setting is tied to a new `unfiltered_css` capability which maps to `unfiltered_html` by default.
* Escaping the message in the notification template is removed to allow markup (`code` tags) to be rendered.

Previously, changing the post thumbnail of a published post in the edit screen
would immediately apply the change, rather than waiting for the post to be
saved before applying the update. This could lead to someone unintentionally
editing the post thumbnail on a published post, and made it impossible to
preview changes to post thumbnails on published posts before saving the change.
This introduces a new Ajax handler, `wp_ajax_get_post_thumbnail_html()` to
retrieve the HTML for the post thumbnail meta box without updating the post
meta value for `_thumbnail_id`. It also allows post thumbnail changes to be
previewed by passing the `_thumbnail_id` as a query variable to the preview
screen and adding a new filter, `_wp_preview_post_thumbnail_filter()`, which
gets applied to `get_post_metadata` during the post preview process.
Props flixos90.

This adds three new functions for getting/displaying attachment captions:
* `wp_get_attachment_caption` - Retrieves a caption for a specific attachment.
* `get_the_post_thumbnail_caption()` - Returns the post thumbnail caption.
* `the_post_thumbnail_caption()` - Displays the post thumbnail caption.
These are helpful for displaying a caption associated with an image directly
in a template, rather than using the caption shortcode.
This also introduces two new filters:
* `wp_get_attachment_caption` - Filters the value of `wp_get_attachment_caption()`.
* `the_post_thumbnail_caption` - Filters the display of the post thumbnail caption.
`the_post_thumbnail_caption()` is automatically filtered by `wptexturize()`,
`convert_smilies()`, and `convert_chars()` in `wp-includes/default-filters.php`.

This changes the global `$wp_post_types` to an array of `WP_Post_Type` objects. `WP_Post_Type` includes methods to handle post type supports, rewrite rules, meta boxes, hooks, and taxonomies.
Each post type argument becomes a property of `WP_Post_Type`.

Known functions, classes, and methods are now auto-linked in Code Reference pages following #meta1483.
Note: Hook references are still linked via inline `@see` tags due to the unlikelihood of reliably matching for known hooks based on a RegEx pattern.

Percent signs are reserved characters in URIs. As such, it was impossible for
plugins to route requests to trashed posts, as happens in bbPress. The new
`__trashed` suffix should be sufficiently unique.
Also adds a test that demonstrates that the `__trashed` suffix can be
appended to slugs that contain the suffix somewhere other than the end of
the string.

When determining a unique post slug, trashed posts are taken into account. Previously, new posts would add suffixes to their slugs (e.g. `about-2`) when a post in the trash had the desired slug (e.g. `about`).
To avoid this behavior, when a post is trashed its slug (i.e. `post_name`) is now suffixed with `-%trashed%`. The post's pre-trash slug is stored as post meta, and if the post is restored from trash, its desired slug is reapplied.
For existing trashed posts which don't have the `-%trashed%` suffix, the suffix is added when a post with its desired slug is created.

Comment and term meta lazyloading for `WP_Query` loops, introduced in 4.4,
depended on filter callback methods belonging to `WP_Query` objects. This meant
storing `WP_Query` objects in the `$wp_filter` global (via `add_filter()`),
requiring that PHP retain the objects in memory, even when the local variables
would typically be expunged during normal garbage collection. In cases where a
large number of `WP_Query` objects were instantiated on a single pageload,
and/or where the contents of the `WP_Query` objects were quite large, serious
performance issues could result.
We skirt this problem by moving metadata lazyloading out of `WP_Query`. The
new `WP_Metadata_Lazyloader` class acts as a lazyload queue. Query instances
register items whose metadata should be lazyloaded - such as post terms, or
comments - and a `WP_Metadata_Lazyloader` method will intercept comment and
term meta requests to perform the cache priming. Since `WP_Metadata_Lazyloader`
instances are far smaller than `WP_Query` (containing only object IDs), and
clean up after themselves far better than the previous `WP_Query` methods (bp
only running their callbacks a single time for a given set of queued objects),
the resource use is decreased dramatically.
See [36525] for an earlier step in this direction.
