JetPack 3.2 Removed Google module?

    In the JetPack v3.2 release notes, it states:
    Bug Fix: Removed Google+ module (discontinued by Google).

    Can someone expand on this a bit or point us to a good overview?

    Are they saying we’ll no longer be able to Publicize/Share our posts automatically with our Google+ Page when we Publish a post?

    Thanks in advance.

    We’ve indeed removed the Google+ Profile module in 3.2. That module is not related to Publicize. It was used to add Google+ Authorship markup to your site, but that feature has been retired by Google a few months ago:

    Publicize will continue to work, though, no worries!

    Thanks Jeremy for the background.

    Is it possible to edit the Change Log…

    From:
    “Bug Fix: Removed Google+ module (discontinued by Google).”

    To Something Like:
    “Bug Fix: Removed Google+ Profile/Authorship module (discontinued by Google). Publicize to Google+ still works.”

    I’m afraid we can’t change it until the next release, but we’ll definitely consider updating the changelog when releasing 3.2.1.

    Jeremy – I’ll just say that I agree with JohnNadeau that the Change Log is confusing. I did NOT upgrade my sites to the 3.2 release specifically because I saw this note and didn’t want to lose the ability to publicize out to Google+.

    If you can’t change the ChangeLog, it might be nice if you all put out a JetPack blog post or something like that to clarify this situation. (Which makes total sense to me, by the way, since Google discontinued the use of authorship markup.)

    I added a mention of Google Authorship to the changelog. Hopefully this should help. Thank you all for the feedback!
