With the WordPress 4.4 Release Candidate now available, we wanted to release our fully-compatible version of Jetpack a little early. So here it is, along with some minor bug fixes and accessibility improvements.
Photon + Responsive Images
There are some cool things coming in WordPress 4.4, such as responsive images. To take full advantage of this, we made sure that Photon serves responsive images as well.
Twenty Sixteen
If you’ve had the pleasure of testing out Twenty Sixteen, we’ve included some compatibility styling to make sure Jetpack features such as Related Posts, Share Buttons, Likes, and Infinite Scroll all look great.
Accessibility Enhancements
WordPress made some adjustments to the heading levels in 4.4 to improve accessibility. We scrubbed Jetpack to make sure our heading levels are semantic and accessible to screen readers as well.
More Streamlined
We went through and optimized the images that we display within the Jetpack Admin, which dropped our image directory from 1.8 MB to 856 KB. Every little bit counts!
Bug Fixes
Fixed some minor bugs with Carousel, Markdown, Single Sign On, and Subscriptions.
