Documentation for JIRA 4.4. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

Please note the following before performing this upgrade:

Please test your business-critical gadgets

As with any new and rapidly evolving technology, gadgets offer exciting opportunities — and potential technology incompatibilities. If your cross-server gadgets are working successfully with JIRA 4.0, and you rely on these gadgets for business purposes, please test them with JIRA 4.0.2 on a non-production server before upgrading.

Upgrading from JIRA 4.0 or 4.0.1 to 4.0.2

Please follow the JIRA general upgrade instructions.

Upgrading from JIRA 3.13.x and earlier

In addition to the above, please read the JIRA 4.0 Upgrade Guide and the Upgrade Guide for every version you are skipping during the upgrade. The complete list of Upgrade Guides is available here.
