WordPress Launches Retina Support For Gravatar And All Hosted And Self-Hosted WP Sites

wordpress-logoWordPress' Matt Mullenweg just announced that the WordPress.com interface and all the blogs hosted on the site are now optimized for high-density displays like the ones found on Apple's new iPad and Retina MacBook Pro. Through JetPack 1.6, which also launched today, users with self-hosted WordPress sites can also enable the same functionality.The arrival of these high dots-per-inch (HiDPI) devices took many developers by surprise and while many Mac apps, for example, have already been optimized for Retina displays, most developers are still playing catch-up. Things are even worse on the Web. As Mullenweg notes, most web sites "dont have high-resolution equivalents of all their graphics to take advantage of the new screen, so they get doubled and look fuzzy, they stand out like a sore thumb."
