In addition to these improvements, the release includes better accessibility, with the addition of keyboard shortcuts for the block editor and improved contrast ratios for the admin color schemes.

Other key changes in WordPress 6.1 include improved support for the custom logo feature, new functions for developers to query block data, and improved data handling when importing and exporting posts.

In conclusion, WordPress 6.1 is a strong update that offers new features and improvements to the popular content management system. If you use WordPress, be sure to upgrade to version 6.1 to take advantage of all the new features and enhancements.
