Jira development releases
Starting from Jira 10.1, we've moved the communication about Jira Software Data Center and Jira Service Management Data Center development releases to this page. With this transition, we aim to provide partners and developers with a single source of information about improvements and changes to our products.
You can continue using the Atlassian Developer community for discussion and support. For archive release announcements, check out our changelog.
An Early Access Program (EAP) release is a public development release leading up to the official release of a Jira version. Development releases are a snapshot of our work in progress, primarily focused on allowing Jira users to see the new features in advance and provide us with some useful feedback. EAP releases can include changes like:
- Changes to our APIs
- Database changes
- Changes to Jira bundled apps and libraries
- Changes in our supported platforms

Development releases aren't production ready. Development releases are snapshots of the ongoing Jira development process. They haven't undergone the same degree of testing as a full release, and could contain features that are incomplete or may change or be removed before the next full release.
No upgrade path. Because development releases represent work in progress, we can't provide a supported upgrade path between development releases, or from any development release to a final release. You may not be able to migrate any data you store in a Jira development release to a future Confluence release.
We don't provide support for development releases.
