Creating issues from email

This release brings a popularly-voted feature to JIRA OnDemand — support for issue and comment creation of from email messages (JST-5649).

Administrators can:

  • configure JIRA OnDemand to read email messages from one or more POP or IMAP mail servers and

The Tempo plugin for JIRA has been upgraded from 7.0.2.1 to 7.0.3.2. This upgrade fixed the issue that caused drop-down menus in Tempo to become unusable in last week's OnDemand release. See JRA-27955 for details.

Change to configuring announcement banners

Reiterating a late addition to last week's release summary announcement — if you are configuring an announcement banner, please note that we changed the formatting functionality of the Announcement field from HTML to wiki markup. Help on wiki markup syntax is provided by clicking the question mark icon under the Announcement field.

HipChat plugin available for Confluence

Confluence OnDemand bundles the HipChat plugin and you will get the following features with the plugin:

  • When hovering over a user's username in Confluence, you will see the user's HipChat presence status.
  • You can link Confluence spaces with HipChat rooms so that when a new blog post is created in a space, links to the post and the author will be broadcasted in the rooms that are linked with the space.

For instructions of configuring the HipChat in Confluence, see the Configuring HipChat in Confluence OnDemand page.

The source of the plugin is available at: https://bitbucket.org/rmanalan/hipchat-for-confluence.
