What is Oxygen?

Oxygen 6.2 is final: AI agents can now build and manage Oxygen sites over MCP.

Oxygen is a WordPress site builder from the same team as Breakdance. Version 6.2 left beta on October 26 with an MCP server, so AI agents can build and manage sites through prompts. 6.2.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. Before the final release came Beta 9 and RC 1 in September, alongside fixes for WordPress 7.1 in the Gutenberg add-on and WooCommerce 11 in Oxygen Classic.

What is ZoloBlocks?

ZoloBlocks keeps padding its WordPress block library with new blocks and styling controls.

ZoloBlocks is a WordPress Gutenberg block library with free and pro tiers, competing in the Elementor/block-addon space. Recent releases add blocks and styling controls — a full Google Fonts library in typography, a Modal block, Marquee axis controls, per-block color and alignment options — interleaved with routine bug-fix point releases. The feed's latest entry is mid-March 2026, so shipping has been quiet for several months.

6.3

Oxygen 6.2 is final: AI agents can now build and manage Oxygen sites over MCP.

◆ Current state

Oxygen is a WordPress site builder from the same team as Breakdance. Version 6.2 left beta on October 26 with an MCP server, so AI agents can build and manage sites through prompts. 6.2.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. Before the final release came Beta 9 and RC 1 in September, alongside fixes for WordPress 7.1 in the Gutenberg add-on and WooCommerce 11 in Oxygen Classic.

◆ Where it's heading

Oxygen and Breakdance shipped the same agent capability on the same day, so the vendor is betting both builders on agents. The legacy Classic and Gutenberg products still get compatibility releases.

◆ Prediction

Expect 6.2.x patches for the MCP server and WooCommerce edge cases; what comes after agent control is unclear from the entries.

Z0.0

ZoloBlocks keeps padding its WordPress block library with new blocks and styling controls.

◆ Current state

ZoloBlocks is a WordPress Gutenberg block library with free and pro tiers, competing in the Elementor/block-addon space. Recent releases add blocks and styling controls — a full Google Fonts library in typography, a Modal block, Marquee axis controls, per-block color and alignment options — interleaved with routine bug-fix point releases. The feed's latest entry is mid-March 2026, so shipping has been quiet for several months.

◆ Where it's heading

Development is steady, incremental block-catalog expansion: more blocks (Modal, Marquee, Tag Cloud) and finer styling controls (typography, badge colors, hover states), split across free and pro channels. Nothing here redirects the product — it competes on breadth and polish of the block library. The multi-month gap since the last release is worth watching.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued additions of individual blocks and styling controls across both tiers, with net-new blocks tending to land in the pro channel first. No directional shift is visible in these entries.
