Jetpack 0.6 has added two major APIs to its base.They are :
- Ability to add to and edit existing menus, which includes both system-specific menus and the right-click context menu on individual objects.
- A secure preferences system, which lets you select what secure fields you need to display in your UI, like user-name, password and alike.
Apart from these there are innumerable bug fixes. The blog also features video tutorials; on how to use the new APIs when creating your next add-on with Jetpack.
