Update: VIP Go sites have been upgraded to Jetpack 7.6
Jetpack 7.6 will be deployed to VIP Go on Thursday, August 8, 2019. The upgrade is expected to be performed at 20:00 UTC (16:00 EDT). This deployment date and time is 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 7.6 offers a number of improvements primarily centered around integration with the AMP plugin and Jetpack Sync.
Regarding AMP, the latest Jetpack plugin offers improved integrations with sharing buttons. Supported sharing services will now be displayed with AMP-specific styling (square buttons) in AMP views. Related Posts will also be included in AMP views. Finally, when using Jetpack’s Image CDN feature and looking at your site in an AMP view, you should see amp-img and amp-anim tags instead of the usual img tags, all relying on images hosted with our CDN.
For Jetpack Sync, the latest release introduces some general improvements and addresses some issues with the synchronization of your site’s activity, posts, and taxonomies back to WordPress.com.
You can find a full list of changes in the release notes and the commit log.
