Note: there is a breaking change in this release, please read all of the release notes

What's new:

• To maintain compatibility with the latest versions of Jira the Test Session functionality has been removed. We've had to do this as page navigation within Jira has changed and now conflicts with Test Sessions. If the removal of this feature impacts your usage of Behave Pro please contact support to discuss an ETA for it's inclusion.
• The legacy Specifications page has been removed

Improvements

• Deleting a Jira project now triggers all Behave Pro classic data (Non-git related data) to be deleted from the SQL database

• Fixed Test Sessions not supporting more than 50 project boards

• Fixes GitLab 15 OAuth authentication issue - This upgrade is only required if you are using GitLab

Minor CSS and JavaScript enhancement to support Jira 9

Through a transient dependency, it may be possible for a version of Spring Beans vulnerable to CVE-2022-22965 to be imported from Jira into Behave Pro. Behave Pro does not use the vulnerable functionality, and no exploit has been detected, but as a precaution we have removed the transient dependency in this release
