Greetings Jetpack users. Apologies that its been so long since our last update, but most of the issues we’ve discovered the last weeks were minor. Here they are all together in the latest bug fix release: Jetpack 1.1.3. And yes, bigger releases with more features are in the works, but it would break 1.1.3’s little heart to use its announcement post to talk about future releases.
In addition to fixing a few minor bugs, Jetpack 1.1.3 includes 14 new translations! Many thanks to all our translators.
Jetpack 1.1.3 includes the following improvements and fixes:
- Increased compatibility with WordPress 3.2.
- Increased compatibility with Admin Bar.
- Stats: Improved performance when creating new posts.
- Fix: Twitter Widget: Fix PHP Notice.
- Fix: Sharedaddy: Fix PHP Warning.
- AtD: Add proofread button to Distraction Free Writing screen.
- Translations: Added: Bosnian, Danish, German, Finnish, Galician, Croatian, Indonesian, Macedonian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Russian, Slovak, Serbian, Swedish
- Translations: Updated: Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Portuguese
To update Jetpack: go to Dashboard->Updates. If Jetpack isn’t listed, click the Check Again button (it may take a few minutes for Jetpack 1.1.3 to appear).
Or manually download the latest version here. For Support, go here.

I hope the Google +1 button is included in one of those larger releases with more features that you didn’t talk about. I’ve patched Sharedaddy in 1.1.2 to add it, so I have to decide if 1.1.3 is worth upgrading to and re-patching. From the description in the post, probably not.

Hi Mega:
Google +1 is already available on wp.com, so we’re on it. When we do release an update to sharedaddy, it’s likely to be included. But I don’t want to hurt 1.1.3’s feelings, so I’ll leave it at that.
Cheers.

Hi Jetpack users. I appreciate how passionate you folks are about the WordPress.com commenting system. As mentioned, we intend to eventually make it available through Jetpack. But for good reason, we have never announced a specific date. Apologies if my joking around suggested otherwise.
We are continuing to experiment with comments design and related features on WordPress.com, and as much as we realize you want it immediately, we see ways to improve it before that happens. We also have the not so small task of continuing to develop many other features on WordPress.com, and if it seems Jetpack releases are slow, it’s not because we’re napping all day or trying to torture you. Simply put, there are many requests and many features my team is responsible for, and we’re trying to keep it all in balance, a fact I hope you can accept for a free plugin, for use on a free blogging platform.
We do take in, and consider feedback on Jetpack every day, including from this forum and others. Your suggestions and feedback are always welcome.

I appreciate the update, Scott. I know you’re doing a great job and it’s hard work. But this function still is really crucial, and one of the biggest updates (at least of the interface) of the .com-blogs. I think it should be put higher on the priority list, if it hasn’t already. As should more frequent updates on this site. =)
And for the record, I for one would be willing to pay (a small sum, perhaps $20) for this function. So money is not an issue (but it probably is for some people). The only problem is that this comment function simply isn’t available at all for self-hosted blogs. I really need people to be able to login from facebook and twitter. And no other plugins can handle this well.

I’d take a serious look at Disqus. It gets you a lot of the same features, and it is used by a number of major (and minor) blogs, so there is a good chance users are already familiar with it. I switched over a few months ago and it has been great. At this point even if they do update commenting in Jetpack, I don’t see a reason to switch back.
I would like to see Google +1 properly integrated, and the ability to have *both* ‘Like’ and ‘Share’ Facebook options – not one or the other. Maybe a ‘smart’ Facebook button that offers the user the choice when moused over.

Here at WordPress.com we recommend http://www.intensedebate.com/ – it’s the only commenting plugin fully supported by us. It’s free and easy to use – definitely give it a try if you want something more powerful.

Hey Scott,
I too face the same problem as Thekoolman3. Its been like that for some time – The stats preview in wordpress dashboard doesn’t work most of the time. Also When you click on the stats bar for a particular day, you go to the stats details on that day, but even this doesn’t work sometimes.

Scott,
While I’m lobbing requests your way, it would be nice to be able to show *both* the FB Like *and* FB Share buttons and not have to choice either/or. I really like being able to give people the ability to easily share the content, I think that’s valuable, but a lot of people just like to hit the ‘Like’ button and move on. Options are good.

After installing Jetpack I’m experiencing same problem that Thekoolman3 and Destination Infinity have described here, blank “Site Stats” widget in the Dashboard most of the times with a WordPress 3.2.1, Jetpack 1.1.3 hosted in a VPS. I didn´t have any problem before with the WP-stats plugin.
I already have sent a support request more than 24 hours ago and I’m still waiting for a reply. I also have seen others complaining about this issue in the Jetpack forum and WP-stats forum but nobody gives a workaround or a fix to this. Please, let us know what could be causing this or I would have to return to the old but efficient wp-stats plugin.

Hello, I am one of those many who would love to have the new comment system. I would love to know if it’s going to be released on Jetpack and here is a couple reasons why I would like it.
1. Worpdress has honestly given me a very special place in my life. I’ve wanted a website for as long as there was internet and you guys here are honestly the best thing that’s happened to the internet since bill gates. I would like it to be included because you are great with listening to your audience.
2. I only trust the default wordpress comment system Intensedebate, Disqus and others are good but i would rather have this function because I would honestly feel safer with it.
If you could let the people know what the future plans of this new comment system are, I can finally take a breath and relax until it’s out.
Thanks.

I hope the new update won’t take to long but bring it when it’s finished!
Some feedback would be nice though.
