Original Warning - Oct 13
Due to an unexpected bug, we've had to hold the JIRA 4.4.2 release. As a result, GreenHopper 5.8 is not available at the moment.
We are working hard to get the bug JRA-25914 fixed as soon as possible and will keep this post updated. There is currently a workaround posted in JRA-25914 for this issue. Please contact Atlassian Support with any questions.

As we told you last time in 4.4.1, the JIRA team is hard at work building awesome features and because they are so awesome we couldn't wait for the next major release to get them into your hands. So in JIRA 4.4.2 we bring you:
More enhancements to JQL
Enhancements were introduced in JIRA 4.4.0 that allowed you to search the history of an issue's Assignee and Reporter fields. In JIRA 4.4.2 we are adding to that list Fix Version and a new "CHANGED" operator. This new operator can accept the optional predicates "FROM", "TO", "ON", "DURING", "BEFORE", "AFTER" and "BY". The "CHANGED" operator can be used on the Status, Assignee, Priority, Reporter, Resolution and Fix Version fields.
Let me use it now
