Those actively paying attention will recall that we released 4.4.2 last week and then pulled it off a few days later due to an unexpected bug.

Well we are now glad to let customers know that 4.4.3 is released and customers can finally get their hands on those great new features!

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 4.4.3 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

You can read all about JIRA 4.4.3 at our release notes and as usual JIRA 4.4.3 is free to all customers with active JIRA software maintenance. Download JIRA 4.4.3 here.

Give it a spin and let us know what you think!
