To celebrate our 10th birthday earlier this year, we launched Jetpack Turns 10, a microsite to highlight how Jetpack has helped millions of people speed up and secure their WordPress sites.
In this release, we have shipped several under-the-hood improvements for an enhanced Jetpack experience.
In this release:
- We have improved compatibility with WordPress version 5.8 which was released on July 20, 2021.
- This release also includes many other bug fixes and improvements — check the changelog for more details.
To use the latest version of Jetpack on your site, update your existing installation or install Jetpack.
Jetpack is more than the sum of its code — it is the collective work of an amazing group of designers, product experts, Happiness Engineers, and code wranglers at Automattic. Does distributed work sound interesting to you? Check out our CEO Matt Mullenweg’s Distributed podcast.
