Highlights of this release:

Upgrading Bonfire?

Atlassian Bonfire 2.1 includes updates to the JIRA server plugin, as well as major updates to client browsers. All browser extensions will need to be upgraded by visiting the "Get Bonfire" page from your JIRA instance after the server plugin is upgraded. For more information on upgrades, check out our Bonfire Upgrade Guide.

Shared test sessions

Bonfire 1.7 saw the introduction of shared issue templates. Bonfire 1.9 added shared variables to the templates. Now we've completed the team collaboration story in Bonfire 2.0 with shared test sessions.

Shared sessions allow any member of your team to join in your active test session, allowing for collaborative testing efforts such as bug blitzes (AKA bug bashes).

Screenshot annotation colours

The ability to change the colour of Bonfire's screenshot annotations is one of the first feature requests we received. In Bonfire 2.0 we've added a simple colour palette to our screenshot tools.

New look and feel – browser extensions

A 2.0 release of any product is usually a good time for a bit restyle and Bonfire 2.0 is no different. For this release we have completely revamped the look of the browser extensions to make things cleaner and neater.

The biggest change is to the active test session area. All the details of the active session (additional info, issues raised, session notes) are available by clicking on the active session header. This means you can access your session notes regardless of which sidebar tab you were on.

New look and feel – JIRA plugin

After giving the browser extensions a lick of paint, it was logical to give the JIRA plugin a bit of a refresh too. The layout and styling of the test session pages is now more consistent with JIRA's issue pages.

And more...
