This adds the correct string for performance changes, updates the header images to not have rounded corners, and updates the release badge to use the stylized 6.9 icon.

@westonruter I'm looking at the About page performance string and I wonder if it could be updated for flow. What do you think of the following?

WordPress 6.9 includes a broad set of performance enhancements. A better LCP metric is achieved through improved loading of conditional and inlined stylesheets, script loading with fetchpriority support, and core optimizations. Editor advances include fixes for layout shifts caused by the Video block and faster loading of the terms selector.

@ryelle that works for me! I would add one additional word: put "other" before "core optimizations". They are all core optimizations in the end.

Or "additional core optimizations"

Sounds good, "additional" just fits to match line-length with Accessibility.

Just waiting a bit longer to see if there is any more feedback about the way to mark this up for translations.

This looks good to me.

Strings in WP are treated as trusted and can use the inline tags, it's very common.

As one example of many,

$publish_box .= '<li>' . __( '<strong>Format</strong> &mdash; Post Formats designate how your theme will display a specific post. For example, you could have a <em>standard</em> blog post with a title and paragraphs, or a short <em>aside</em> that omits the title and contains a short text blurb. Your theme could enable all or some of 10 possible formats. <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/wordpress/post-formats/#supported-formats">Learn more about each post format</a>.' ) . '</li>';
