### Connection process
### Protect

We made some changes to reduce the number of connection issues that may happen on a site when switching from HTTP to HTTPs. To test this, if your site uses HTTPs, make sure you can still interact with your site via WordPress.com (try publishing or editing posts for example), and check to see that things like Related Posts still work on your site.
We've created a new setting one can use to change the default WordPress log in form, and add a new field with an option to send yourself an email with a link to log in when you got locked out of your site.

We have also improved the connection process to make sure other plugins can't interfere with the connection. To test this, try the following:
Follow the instructions below to test the feature:

1. Start with a disconnected site and user, and multiple other plugins active. If you'd like, you can use [jurassic.ninja](https://jurassic.ninja/) to get a brand new site quickly.
2. Visit the dashboard and confirm that the Connect button has an appropriate URL and that you can connect
3. After connecting, login in with a non-admin user and confirm that the banner button that reads "Connect to WordPress.com" works and has a good href.
4. Confirm that you can cycle the connection. Connect Jetpack, get back to the admin page. Disconnect, and try to connect again without refreshing the page.

### Carousel

We have made some performance improvements to the Carousel feature. It would be great if everyone could test every aspect of Carousel in this release:
- Does it work well on single images when the image is set to link to an attachment page?
- Does it work well with standard WordPress galleries?
- Does it work well with Tiled Galleries?
- Are you able to comment on a Carousel image, whether you are logged in or logged out of your WordPress account?

### Custom CSS

The next version of WordPress, 4.9, will be released very soon and will include [a lot of changes to its code editors](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/10/22/code-editing-improvements-in-wordpress-4-9/). As part of those changes, the CSS editor will now have its own syntax highlighter. Until now, there was no syntax highlighting in the CSS editor unless you used Jetpack and its Custom CSS module.

You will consequently want to test 4 things:
- What happens when you use the current version of WordPress (4.8.2) with the new version of Jetpack? Does syntax highlighting still work? Can you save CSS changes?
- What happens when you then use [this plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/) to update WordPress to the 4.9 Beta version on your site? Does your CSS remain? Are there any issues during the migration? I would suggest to try this update after having added a lot of CSS to the editor.
- What happens when you use the CSS editor with WP 4.9 Beta? Does syntax highlighting work well?
- Does everything work regardless of whether the Custom CSS module is active or not?

### Gallery Widget

The next version of WordPress will now include its own [Gallery Widget](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/09/25/introducing-the-gallery-widget/). If you previously used a Jetpack Gallery Widget on your site, that widget will disappear and will be replaced by the new WordPress gallery widget.

To test this, start by adding a Jetpack Gallery Widget on your site, Then, update to WordPress 4.9 Beta. You can use [this plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/) to update WordPress on your site. Once you have done so you should see the new WordPress widget under Appearance > Widgets and Appearance > Customize. Try to use one the Tiled Gallery types, and make sure it is displayed properly.

### Misc

- [Always] Try to connect with a brand new site, and also cycle your connections to existing sites.
1. Set the following constant in your `wp-config.php`: `define( 'JETPACK_ALWAYS_PROTECT_LOGIN', true );`
2. Now when you go to wp-login.php you will be asked to enter an email.
3. After receiving the email you should be able to login again or change your password.
4. The token that you get in the email is only valid for 15 minutes.
