Questions the author answers
What should I know about Post List / Post List Slider filters (Pro)?
The search keyword is a fixed filter; it does not add a search field to the site.
A keyword makes WordPress treat the block query as a search (is_search()), so themes or search plugins may affect its results.
Once a keyword is saved, the post containing the block may appear in its own results, because block settings are saved in the post content and WordPress searches it (the same as the core Query Loop block).
Latest changelog entry
[ New Feature ][ Post List Block (Pro) ][ Post List Slider Block (Pro) ] Added fixed keyword search and parent filters for displaying matching posts or direct child pages.
[ Spec Change ][ Post List Block (Pro) / Post List Slider Block (Pro) / Select Post List Block (Pro) / Child Page List Block (Pro) ] Updated the vk-term-color library used for category colors from 0.7.1 to 0.7.4, also adding a permission check when saving a term color and hardening the library against invalid input (fatal errors / PHP warnings in a few edge cases).

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
