Reblogged from Jetpack for WordPress:
The past nine releases of Jetpack have started to reveal our vision for next-generation features that will boost WordPress’ incredible success by making it more social, more connected, more mobile, and more customizable.
Over three million downloads later, we’re excited to report that the community has embraced this seemingly impossible vision for combining the best of hosted and non-hosted WordPress. This tenth release brings some of the most-asked-for features into the hands of millions of Jetpackers.
Photon is hands down the coolest addition. Having transferred a couple hundred WordPress.com sites to self-hosted installs of WordPress, one of the most noticeable differences is just how long it takes for images to load on self-hosted sites. Photon fixes that... give it a try and you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
