-**Bug Fixes**
+This release introduces a brand-new module, Jetpack Ads, a brand-new VideoPress feature, and a lot of new shortcodes and widgets.
+
+**Exciting New Features and Improvements:**

-* Widget Visibility: allow display of empty categories in the dropdowns. #5770
+* Generate revenue from your site with an all-new WordAds feature, which when enabled displays high-quality ads for your visitors.
+* Today we are proud to release a fully redesigned VideoPress interface for easy uploading, management, and add-free playback of your fantastic videos now fully integrated with your Jetpack Premium or Professional plans.

+
+**Enhancements**
+
+* Use the beautiful Jetpack carousel feature to display single images.
+* Turn on and update Related Posts right from the Customizer.
+* Customize the output of the Related Posts headline using a new filter.
+
+**Performance and Security Improvements:**
+
+* Your Custom CSS will now be served in a separate stylesheet when it is more than 2,000 characters.
+* Your Stats queries are now always being made over HTTPS.
+* Holiday Snow files now load in the footer, but rest assured the snow still falls from above.
+* We have improved Jetpack's synchronization process to support more plugins and use less resources.
+* The jQuery Cycle script used by slideshow galleries is now minified, resulting in faster loading times.
+
+**Slightly Less Exciting Enhancements:**
+
+* The JSON API now allows updating translations and alternative theme installation methods.
+* Public Custom Post Types are now automatically available via the WordPress.com REST API.
+* We've added a token-based authentication mechanism to the REST API in order for the site to be able to receive authenticated requests from WordPress.com.
+* Use `sync` commands in Jetpack's WP CLI.
+* You can now set the value for options directly in the Contact Form shortcode.
+* Updated some verbiage around IP Whitelisting on the Protect settings screen.
+* Custom sharing buttons got some new variables.
+* RIP blip.tv — we've removed your shortcode.
+* Improved Image and Display Posts Widget settings to provide more explanation and better error messages.
+* We've added a few new Content Options to the Customizer for supported themes.
+* Improved the Facebook Widget to avoid confusion when editing width and height settings.
+* Added and improved a few shortcodes.
 
 **Improved Compatibility:**
 
-* WPML: fixed the loading of the compatibility file for WPML so it loads at the right time. #5588
-* Sync: further improve Jetpack's synchronization process to support more plugins. #5671
+* If your server is misconfigured and we can't get an IP address we're going to deactivate Protect and send you a notice so you're in the loop.
+* The WPML compatibility file wasn't loading at the right time, but we've fixed that.
+* We've improved compatibility with tools like Cavalcade to avoid stuck Cron jobs.
+* Some selected WooCommerce data (order items and order item meta) are now syncing to WordPress.com.
 
-**Enhancements**
+**Bug Fixes**
+
+* You'll notice numerous design improvements to the Jetpack UI.

+* Eliminated a PHP Notice when running the CLI `wp jetpack` command.
+* PHP warnings in the Restaurant Menu Post type have seen their last day with us.
+* Fixed a bug that displayed the wrong connected user for up to 24 hours after they disconnected.
+* Removed a deprecated function to prevent notices when using Infinite Scroll in the Customizer.
+* Long titles in Jetpack widgets weren't looking so great, so we cleaned them up.
+* Before now you weren't able to create a child category from WordPress.com. Now you can!
+* Rogue colons were showing up in the related posts area on sites with the Twenty Fourteen and Twenty Sixteen themes.
+* Fixed a ReCaptcha error on the Email sharing button.
