8.4/4.4

Important notes:

  • To maximize your data security we’ve made the Public Sharing feature OFF by default. We also recommend that you revise your filter, dashboards and user permissions. 
  • We’ve introduced extra security measures to make issue attachments and keys safe and inaccessible for anonymous users.
  • To help Outlook users respond to Jira notifications we've improved the RegexCommentHandler UI to make it easier to set it up properly. We also advise that you don't use the NonQuotedCommentHandler as it doesn't work with html or rich text emails.
  • Email notifications will be batched by default. You can still disable the feature and the feature will remain disabled if you disabled it in a previous version of Jira.
  • We've introduced a new way of generating user keys for new users to reduce the number of places we store personal data. All user keys for new users (no changes for existing users) have the following format: JIRAUSER10100.
  • If you choose to use one of the new supported databases, Oracle 18c or 19c, you need to download a new JDBC driver. See upgrade notes for details.

Jira Software upgrade notes

Jira Service Desk upgrade notes

8.3/4.3

Important notes:

  • Jira is now bundled with AdoptOpenJDK 8 instead of Oracle's JDK. If you're installing Jira manually, you need to install JDK.
  • We have upgraded the atlassian-jslibs plugin from version 1.2.5 to 1.4.1 and are now bundling React 16.8.6, ReactDOM 16.8.6 factory, and Marionette 4.1.2 with Jira. 
  • When you upgrade you need to reapply any custom changes you've made to your old Jira files to the same files in the upgraded version. We will show you a list of files with custom changes.
  • To fix issues importing a backup from Jira Cloud into Jira Server, we needed to change the database column size. Now, Jira might start up slower after upgrade, especially if you're using MySQL database.
  • You can now encrypt your database password stored in the dbconfig.xml file.
  • We improved the cluster lock mechanism in Jira DC by introducing lock timeouts. When a node loses a cluster lock it will be automatically recoverable without any actions from administrator.

Jira Software upgrade notes

Jira Service Desk upgrade notes

8.2/4.1

Important notes:

  • We've upgraded the Microsoft JDBC driver, bundled with Jira, to 7.2.1. This versions is required for Java 11 support.
  • Jira installers are now bundled with AdoptOpenJDK JRE 8 instead of Oracle JDK. If you're using the installer, check your Java version after the upgrade, as Jira might have switched to AdoptOpenJDK.


Apps changes...

We've made some look and feel changes to the help center and customer portal. This is the first round of improvements aimed at making the customer experience both simple and polished.

In order to do this, we've had to make some changes to the frontend codebase and this may impact third-party apps.

What's the potential impact?

There's two things to be aware of:

  • layout changes may impact how your app looks within the customer portal
  • the customer portal now loads routes asynchronously, which can impact previously available globals.

What you need to do

In 4.2, your app might be impacted by these changes if no action is taken.

Steps to take:

  1. Check that the dependencies your app needs are specified in your web resources. When checking this, consider if these dependencies are necessary, or if they're negatively impacting load-time performance. You can use https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/atlassian-webresource-webpack-plugin to help achieve this.
  2. Check that your app works 'as expected' within the new layout. When the Service Management admin activates the new layout, the <body> element will contain the class custom-portal-layout-flag.

Jira Software upgrade notes

Jira Service Desk upgrade notes

8.1/4.1

Important notes:

  • We are deprecating 32-bit installers, and they will be removed in the upcoming release.
  • We are deprecating the CDN dark feature, and are planning to remove it in the upcoming release. We'll replace it with an official CDN support for Jira Data Center.

  • the customer portal now loads routes asynchronously, which can impact previously available globals.

What you need to do

In Jira Service Desk 4.1, your app should work as expected, but you'll need to check your dependencies and take the recommended action outlined below. In 4.2, your app might be impacted by these changes if no action is taken.

Jira Software upgrade notes

Jira Service Desk upgrade notes

8.0/4.0

Important notes:

Index changes...
  • Incompatible index: Due to the upgrade of the library responsible for the Jira index, your current index will become incompatible. You'll need to create a new index by reindexing Jira after the upgrade.
  • Index location changes: Starting from Jira 8.0, the Jira index will be stored in a new location: <Jira-home-directory>/caches/indexesV1.
  • Automatic reindex: Because of the above changes, Jira will trigger an automatic reindex after the upgrade, which might mean you'll need to reindex twice following the upgrade. Since this might be really time-consuming for large Jira instances, you can disable the automatic reindex, and run it manually whenever you're ready.
Apps changes...
  • Incompatible apps: You'll need to disable all apps that are incompatible with the new version before the upgrade. Incompatible apps might block the upgrade or the Jira startup after the upgrade.
Other changes...
  • Reduced logging: Application log output ( atlassian-jira.log ) is no longer mirrored in the Tomcat log file, catalina.out , to preserve the disk space.

  • Jira needs more memory: We've increased the default heap size available to Jira to 2GB. Note that this change requires extra steps if you're using 32-bit systems.

  • Zero downtime upgrades: This upgrade method won't be available when upgrading from Jira 7.x to Jira 8.x. Once you're on Jira 8.x, you can use it to upgrade to any later version.
End of support...

In Jira Service Desk 4.0, we've removed com.atlassian.fugue, and updated our APIs to use Core Java Data types and Exceptions. We’ve introduced this change to make it easier to develop on Jira Service Management.

What you'll need to do

Before using Core Java Data types and Exceptions, update any scripts, integrations, or apps that make requests to endpoints returning com.atlassian.fugue. This stops them breaking after the update.

Read our Java API docs and REST API docs to learn how.

Jira Software upgrade notes

Jira Service Desk upgrade notes

7.13/3.16

Important notes:

  • After upgrading Apache Tomcat to 8.5.32, we've added new properties to the server.xml file. Make sure you don't copy the old files to the new Jira version, but add the missing properties (or copy your customizations to the new file).
  • New properties, controlling the JVM code cache, have been added to the setenv.sh / .bat file.
  • Jira Service Desk 3.16 has deprecated the use of com.atlassian.fugue. In Jira Service Desk 4.0, we'll be permanently removing it and updating our APIs to use Core Java Data types and Exceptions instead.

Known issues:

  • A fix for duplicated job IDs requires extra steps in some instances, just to be sure (checking the database if the index was created; restarting your Jira instance.)

Jira Software upgrade notes

Jira Service Desk upgrade notes

7.6/3.9

Important notes:

  • Priority schemes (UI changes). We've made significant changes to how priorities are managed in Jira, but these changes are only available from Jira Service Desk 3.9.4.
  • We're no longer shipping the Oracle JDBC driver with Jira. You'll need to download it from the Oracle site and move to the /lib directory in the Jira installation directory.

Jira Software upgrade notes

Jira Service Desk upgrade notes

7.5/3.8
