JIRA Agile 6.6.41 Release Notes
15 December 2014
The Atlassian team announces the release of JIRA Agile 6.6.41. This point release contains a number of features as well as several updates and fixes. Upgrading to JIRA Agile 6.6.41 is free to all customers with active JIRA software maintenance.
Note, JIRA Agile 6.6.41 and JIRA Agile 6.6.40 are functionally the same: 6.6.40 was only released to JIRA Cloud and 6.6.41 was only released for JIRA Server.
Highlights
Move an issue to the top/bottom of a column or swimlane
You can now move an issue to the top or bottom of a column (or a swimlane, if you have swimlanes configured) in Work mode, via the issue menu. Just right-click the issue and click Top of Swimlane/Bottom of Swimlane or Top of Column/Bottom of Column.
This is particularly useful on a Kanban board with lots of issues in the To Do column, when it can be difficult to rank an issue by dragging and dropping it.
Upgrading JIRA Agile
What do I do if I have problems with JIRA Agile?
If you run into problems when installing/upgrading JIRA Agile or using it after an upgrade, please contact our support team. This is the fastest way to get your problems addressed. The support team can work with you to figure out what is going wrong, and if there is a bug with JIRA Agile, they will escalate it to our development team.
Change to the REST API endpoint for balancing rank fields (Lexorank)
In previous releases, JIRA administrators and JIRA system administrators could trigger a balance of all rank fields, by using a GET with this REST resource: rest/greenhopper/1.0/lexorank/balance
From JIRA Agile 6.6.41 onwards, the behaviour of this resource has changed:
POST | Trigger a balance of all rank fields | POST rest/greenhopper/1.0/lexorank/balance |
---|---|---|
Trigger a balance of a single field | POST rest/greenhopper/ 1.0 /lexorank/balance/<fieldId> | |
GET | Get the status of the rank balancing. Returns the following:
| GET rest/greenhopper/1.0/lexorank/balance |
