Upgrades for Bonfire involves two components:

  • Upgrade on the JIRA server
  • Upgrading the client browser extension

1. Upgrading Bonfire on your JIRA server

  1. In JIRA, go to "Administration", then "Plugins" to open the Universal Plugin Manager
  2. Go to the "Manage Existing" tab in the Universal Plugin Manager (if not already there), and search for the 'Bonfire' plugin entry.
  3. Click 'Upgrade' button. A confirmation message and the plugin details will display, if it is installed successfully.
  4. Restart JIRA.

2. Upgrading Bonfire on client browsers

The browser upgrade process varies depending on whether the upgrade is a major or minor upgrade. Major upgrades occur when a major version of Bonfire is released, and the new version of the Bonfire server plugin is not compatible with prior versions of the Bonfire browser extensions. Major upgrades require a re-installation of Bonfire browser extensions. Minor upgrades occur when a minor version of Bonfire is released. Minor upgrades do not require a complete reinstallation.
