Dynamic (non-explicitly declared) properties are deprecated as of PHP 8.2 and are expected to become a fatal error in PHP 9.0.
There are a number of ways to mitigate this:
* If it is an accidental typo for a declared property: fix the typo.
* For known properties: declare them on the class.
* For unknown properties: add the magic `__get()`, `__set()`, et al. methods to the class or let the class extend `stdClass` which has highly optimized versions of these magic methods built in.
* For unknown ''use'' of dynamic properties, the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute can be added to the class. The attribute will automatically be inherited by child classes.
Trac ticket #56034 is open to investigate and handle the third and fourth type of situations, however it has become clear this will need more time and will not be ready in time for WP 6.1.
To reduce “noise” in the meantime, both in the error logs of WP users moving onto PHP 8.2, in the test run logs of WP itself, in test runs of plugins and themes, as well as to prevent duplicate tickets from being opened for the same issue, this commit adds the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute to all “parent” classes in WP.
The logic used for this commit is as follows:
* If a class already has the attribute: no action needed.
* If a class does not `extend`: add the attribute.
* If a class does `extend`:
- If it extends `stdClass`: no action needed (as `stdClass` supports dynamic properties).
- If it extends a PHP native class: add the attribute.
- If it extends a class from one of WP's external dependencies: add the attribute.
* In all other cases: no action — the attribute should not be needed as child classes inherit from the parent.
Whether or not a class contains magic methods has not been taken into account, as a review of the currently existing magic methods has shown that those are generally not sturdy enough and often even set dynamic properties (which they should not). See the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZWepDQQVE live stream from August 16, 2022] for more details.
This commit only affects classes in the `src` directory of WordPress core.
* Tests should not get this attribute, but should be fixed to not use dynamic properties instead. Patches for this are already being committed under ticket #56033.
* While a number bundled themes (2014, 2019, 2020, 2021) contain classes, they are not a part of this commit and may be updated separately.

Add support for a "_pretty" meta-parameter on all REST controllers which instructs WordPress to return pretty-printed JSON, for better readability when inspecting endpoint responses in curl output or certain developer tools.
Introduce the "rest_json_encode_options" filter to permit site owners to control this behavior globally.

While a custom post type can define a custom route by using the `rest_base` argument, a namespace of `wp/v2` was assumed. This commit introduces support for a `rest_namespace` argument.
A new `rest_get_route_for_post_type_items` function has been introduced and the `rest_get_route_for_post` function updated to facilitate getting the correct route for custom post types.
While the WordPress Core Block Editor bootstrap code has been updated to use these API functions, for maximum compatibility sticking with the default `wp/v2` namespace is recommended until the API functions see wider use.

Previously, only the first error message for each parameter was made available. Now, all error messages for a parameter are concatenated. Additionally, the detailed error for each parameter is made available in a new `details` section of the validation error. Each error is formatted following the standard REST API error formatting.
The `WP_REST_Server::error_to_response` method has been abstracted out into a standalone function `rest_convert_error_to_response` to allow for reuse by `WP_REST_Request`. The formatted errors now also contain an `additional_data` property which contains the additional error data provided by `WP_Error::get_all_error_data`.

A new route is introduced, `batch/v1`, that accepts a list of API requests to run. Each request runs in sequence, and the responses are returned in the order they've been received.
Optionally, the `require-all-validate` validation mode can be used to first validate each request's parameters and only proceed with processing if each request validates successfully.
By default, the batch size is limited to 25 requests. This can be controlled using the `rest_get_max_batch_size` filter. Clients are strongly encouraged to discover the maximum batch size supported by the server by making an OPTIONS request to the `batch/v1` endpoint and inspecting the described arguments.
Additionally, the two new methods, `match_request_to_handler` and `respond_to_request` introduced in [48947] now have a `protected` visibility as we don't want to expose the inner workings of the `WP_REST_Server::dispatch` API.
Batching is not currently supported for GET requests.

In WordPress 4.4 the REST API was first introduced. A few releases later in WordPress 4.7, the Content API endpoints were added, paving the way for Gutenberg and countless in-site experiences. In the intervening years, numerous plugins have built on top of the REST API. Many developers shared a common frustration, the lack of external authentication to the REST API.
This commit introduces Application Passwords to allow users to connect to external applications to their WordPress website. Users can generate individual passwords for each application, allowing for easy revocation and activity monitoring. An authorization flow is introduced to make the connection flow simple for users and application developers.
Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication, and by default is only available over an SSL connection.

#50244 aims to introduce batch processing in the REST API. An important feature is the ability to enforce that all requests have valid data before executing the route callbacks in "pre-validate" mode.
This necessitates splitting `WP_REST_Server::dispatch()` into two methods so the batch controller can determine the request handler to perform pre-validation and then respond to the requests.
The two new methods, `match_request_to_handler` and `respond_to_request`, have a public visibility, but are marked as `@access private`. This is to allow for iteration on the batch controller to happen in the Gutenberg repository. Developers should not rely upon these methods, their visibility may change in the future.

“The WordPress open source community cares about diversity. We strive to maintain a welcoming environment where everyone can feel included.”
With this commit, all occurrences of “whitelist” and “blacklist” (with the single exception of the `$new_whitelist_options` global variable) are removed. A new ticket has been opened to explore renaming the `$new_whitelist_options` variable (#50434).
Changing to more specific names or rewording sentences containing these terms not only makes the code more inclusive, but also helps provide clarity. These terms are often ambiguous. What is being blocked or allowed is not always immediately clear. This can make it more difficult for non-native English speakers to read through the codebase.
Words matter. If one contributor feels more welcome because these terms are removed, this was worth the effort.

The `$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA` global was deprecated in PHP 5.6 and removed completely in PHP 7.0. In general, `php://input` should be used instead of `$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA`.
Because WordPress Core still supports PHP 5.6, some plugins or sites may still rely on this variable being present and populated with the expected data. For that reason, occurrences of the variable will remain with updated inline documentation until support for PHP 5.6 is officially dropped in WordPress.
