**Highlights:**
This release introduces **Block Bindings** for Meta Box fields, allowing you to bind field values directly to blocks in the WordPress editor. Meta Box fields now appear as a source in the block bindings panel, making it easy to use custom field data inside blocks without shortcodes or PHP. See our [blog post](https://metabox.io/introducing-block-bindings/) for details.
**Other changes:**
- Fix password strength showing for login/forgot password forms
- Update select2 library to fix missing placeholder
- Fix `querySelector` errors with numeric IDs and missing DOM elements
- Update description text for `max_clone` in relationship Fields tab for clarity
- Update Twig to v3.11.3
- Fix conflict style of the ajax message with WPEngine on Extensions page
**Highlight:**
Introducing `has_one_relationship` option — configure it per side (`from`/`to`) to limit an item to a connect to only one item on the other side. Combined on both sides it creates a one-to-one relationship; on one side only, it creates one-to-many without duplicates.
