The blog latest posts block has been redesigned to work better across devices and offer clearer display choices. Website editors now get standardized layout and hover options, plus the ability to show either recent or most viewed posts, making blog sections more polished and useful.
Original PR description
*: website This reviews the latest posts snippet and its options. Theme options (available in graphene and avantgarde themes) have been made standard, the hover effects on the images have been rewritten as they were broken since the snippet's DOM had been altered in bb0cdec4594f and the css rules no longer applied. The number of posts option has been removed in favor of a fixed number that depends on the screen size so that the layout looks good on all devices (3x1, 2x2 1x3). The list, big picture and horizontal layouts of this snippet have been fused, and the layout is now an option on the snippet. A new option has also been added to choose which posts are displayed: most recent or most viewed. Lastly, a new 'cards' layout similar to the one on odoo.com has been added. See sub-commits for details. task-2152188 Linked to https://github.com/odoo/design-themes/pull/198

Shipping carrier integrations now use the estimated weight from the related picking when preparing shipment requests. This should make carrier quotes and labels more accurate across supported delivery services, reducing manual corrections and pricing mismatches.
Event organizers can now view events on a map, making it easier to understand locations at a glance. Barcode check-in has also been improved so staff can scan attendees across ongoing events from one desk, reducing repeated scans and check-in friction.
