This major version introduces internal API changes that are not visible for the end-user, but make automations more robust under the hood.
Starting from this major version, we reworked certain low-level technical details to make automations more robust. According to our testing, wiring and classloading problems should not occur anymore!
This release is simply a compatibility release which updates the app for Jira 8.
As you probably know, Better Excel Automation already supports Jira Data Center deployments (i.e. clustered Jira). To be precise, those are supported since app version 2.0.0 (released in Feb 2016).
In 2018, Atlassian re-launched its Data Center program and introduced new criteria for "Data Center readiness". This version is the official release for the revised Data Center Ready program.

Improvements
Bye-bye "Excel Automation Plugin for Jira"! Hello "Better Excel Automation for Jira"!
In addition to some cosmetic changes, with this version we made a slight adjustment in the app's name due to the following reasons:
You may still see the old name popping up here and there, until we roll out the change everywhere. Thanks for the patience!

Bugfixes
Code Barrel took over the old Automation Plugin for Jira from Atlassian in March 2017 and renamed it to Automation Lite for Jira. Its latest release 3.0.0 is built from their next generation codebase, which is the same codebase that is the foundation of Code Barrel's paid automation add-on called Automation for Jira.
Excel Automation Plugin for Jira supports both the old Automation Lite codebase and the new one, but you must be careful about the versions.

Notable changes
This new automation action allows generating Excel spreadsheets periodically or by triggered by issue events (created, updated, transitioned, work logged, etc.) and then attaching the resulted file to a Jira issue. The target issue can be the one which triggered the automation, or another one selected by a JQL query!
This realease fully supports Jira Data Center, enabling automation in clustered Jira deployments.
More robust installation
Previous add-on versions may have had class-loading issues right after installation or version update. This release comes with rewamped OSGi dependency management, to prevent those issues.
This is a compatibility release for Jira 7, also maintaining compatibility with the Jira 6 line.
Just some days after releasing the stable version of Better Excel Plugin for Jira, the automation solution that integrates it to your business workflows is finally available!
