WordPress has supported custom page templates for over 12 years, allowing developers to create various layouts for specific pages.
While this feature is very helpful, it has always been limited to the 'page' post type and not was not available to other post types.
By opening up the page template functionality to all post types, we continue to improve the template hierarchy's flexibility.
In addition to the `Template Name` file header, the post types supported by a template can be specified using `Template Post Type: post, foo, bar`.
When at least one template exists for a post type, the 'Post Attributes' meta box will be displayed in the back end, without the need to add post type support for `'page-attributes'`. 'Post Attributes' can be customized per post type using the `'attributes'` label when registering a post type.

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`.

The media library can contain files which aren't attached yet. When attaching a file you currently get "Media attachment reattached.", or the opposite "Media attachment detached.". That's redundant and can be inaccurate. It's also not easy to translate in some languages.
This change generalizes the strings to refer to a "media file" instead.

* Move the array processing to a new function, `_wp_post_revision_data()`.
* Make both functions accept a post array or a `WP_Post` object.
* Always apply the `_wp_post_revision_fields` filter and pass the post data to it.

Shortlinks had their day in the popular usage sun before all these services moved to their own shorteners and running your own custom one became a lot easier. Shortlinks are still useful in some contexts, such as analytics or when links need to be shared verbally or copied down by hand.
If any filters are hooked onto `pre_get_shortlink` or `get_shortlink` and produce a non-empty value (with an exception described below), the button will magically reappear. This allows any custom shortlinks to keep the button without hiccups.
If you're in need of the default shortlinks, the fastest way to reenable them is `add_filter( 'pre_get_shortlink', '__return_false' )`. Note that it must return false in order to continue on to the rest of `wp_get_shortlink()`.

Currently, there is no way to toggle those settings off.

* Introduce `is_post_type_viewable( $post_type_object )`
* Separate the HTML bits from the translatable bits in the `post` messages array in `edit-form-advanced.php`
* Don't show certain UI pieces when a post is not viewable on the front end
When a custom post type item is not viewable on the front end, we don't want to show links to View it (on the front end) all over the admin. We also want to hide the Preview link, et al. We also want our admin messages to not contain said links.
Custom post types with `public_queryable` set to `false` are not viewable on the front end.
`'page'` is viewable on the front end, but `'page'` is a `_builtin` type, and `public_queryable` is set to `false` when it is registered - see `WP::parse_request()` for when `public_queryable` gets used.
This is confusing, but also somewhat straightforward: to determine if a post type is viewable on the front end, we can check one way for `_builtin => true` and another way for `_builtin => false`:
`$post_type->publicly_queryable || ( $post_type->_builtin && $post_type->public )`
If a post type is `publicly_queryable`, it's viewable. If that value is `false`, it is viewable if it's a `_builtin` type that is also `public`.
I am in search of edge cases, so this shall land.

First step towards restoring a good heading structure in wp-admin.
The previous `<h1>` contained the site title and a link to the front page and was removed with the toolbar refactoring in 3.2.

These no longer return upon refreshing the page when JS is on and working, so users should be able to dismiss them. This is particularly important on the post edit screen when DFW is triggered, but pretty much all notices can be dismissed if needed. A post on Make/Core will follow with information on how this can be leveraged in plugins.

Users are frequently confused as to why the content they've entered or the page template they've selected doesn't apply for this one page. Showing and saving items that don't do anything hurts trust.
Developers can elect to turn on the editor should they be using it for something. If the content isn't empty, the editor will show so that users still have access to their content.

* `get_permalink( $post_ID )` can return `false`, set it to a variable and check it
* Using the variable allows us to replace 11 separate calls to `get_permalink( $post_ID )` in the file
* These notices were triggered by the potential for `false` to be passed to `esc_url()`
