*
* '''Panel API''': The [https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/0.7/docs/#module/jetpack-core/panel panel] API creates floating modal popups that appear on top of web content and browser chrome and persist until dismissed by users or programs.
* '''Clipboard API''': The [https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/0.7/docs/#module/jetpack-core/clipboard clipboard] API allows callers to interact with the system clipboard, setting and retrieving its contents.
* '''Notifications API''': The [https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/0.7/docs/#module/jetpack-core/notifications notifications] API allows you to display transient toaster- or Growl-style messages to the user.
* '''Better Documentation''': Many APIs that had no previous documentation are now documented, and most documentation now shares a consistent visual style.  A new [[Labs/Jetpack/SDK/Writing_Documentation|walk-through]] that instructs you on how to produce your own high-quality documentation is also available.
