Jetpack 7.5 will be deployed to VIP Go on Thursday, July 11th. The upgrade is expected to be performed at 15:00 UTC (11:00 ET). This deployment date and time are subject to change if issues are discovered during testing of the Jetpack release.
The beta is available now, and the download link is at the top of the beta release notice.
What is being added or changed?
Jetpack 7.5 includes some navigation and wording updates within the Dashboard alongside some improvements to thumbnail handling within VideoPress and a new option—Magic Links. If you use one of the WordPress mobile apps, you’ll now be able to send an email to yourself, from the Jetpack dashboard, with a magic link that will allow you to log in to the mobile app in one click.
The release also includes internal architecture updates that rename or move many classes, methods, and constants. While we strive to ensure full backward compatibility, there is a higher-than-usual likelihood that if you include files or classes directly in plugins or integrations that an incompatibility issue could be introduced. Actions and filters are unchanged in the update. However, we strongly recommend testing the update using the instructions below to minimize potential issues/concerns.
You can find a full list of changes in the release notes and the commit log.
What do I need to do?
We recommend:
- Installing the beta release on your non-production sites using these instructions.
- Running through the testing flows outlined in the Jetpack Testing Guide.
If you have testing feedback or questions related to this release (or Jetpack in general), please open a support ticket with details and we will be happy to assist.
