Accessibility: Text spacing
Following on the accessibility theme, we’ve added a new option to your personal accessibility settings.

Need a tailored upgrade path?
Back in Jira 8.0, we created the Pre-upgrade planning tool that recommends a version to upgrade to, runs pre-upgrade checks, and provides you with a custom upgrade guide with step-by-step instructions.
If you haven’t checked it out already and are looking to upgrade, see Pre-upgrade planning tool.
