23.3.1
We changed the way alerts appear when you’re inserting media into blocks from a URL. So we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.
It’s also easier to tell the difference between placeholder text and actual content in block-based themes.

No updates this week, but we’re hard at work on a pressing feature we know you’ll enjoy.
22.2

When you log in to a self-hosted site that connects to Jetpack through individual plugins, you’ll see a pop-up stating that this type of connection doesn’t support the app’s core features yet. You can get around that problem by switching over to the Jetpack app. Up, up, and away.
