Description

The link behind the version number we show in the Jetpack plugin redirects to https://jetpack.com. We may improve it by redirecting it to the [changelog page on WP.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/#developers) or on [GitHub](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/trunk/projects/plugins/jetpack/CHANGELOG.md#changelog).

**Steps to Check:**

1. Install the Jetpack plugin (make sure you are not on the Atomic site as on the Atomic site, it doesn't appear).
2. Go to Jetpack » Dashboard and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
3. Click on the **Version** and it will redirect to https://jetpack.com.

Research direction

Start at Jetpack » Dashboard and trace the Version link shown at the bottom of the page. Compare the current destination with the proposed WP.org or GitHub changelog URLs; done means the version link opens the selected changelog instead of jetpack.com.
