With 4.0 version of our App we decided to challenge existing limitations with Release Management in Jira and go beyond Fix Versions.
Thus, you can now create Virtual Versions either based on custom JQL or Epic Link. It means along side regular fix versions you can now convert Epics into deliverables and track them throughout your cross-project release cycle. As well as become very flexible in terms of defining release scope by applying custom JQL.
This opens a lot of opportunities, like:
- merge CI/CD with more classical Release Management inside one organization and Release Management approach
- sub-versions, hot fixes, service releases and other minor versions
- component versions
- adding CM tickets, CAB approvals, Deployment Tickets into your versions and release to track it end to end.
We also did a few smaller improvements, namely:
- inline adding issues to versions
- move release variables in the Hooks
Enjoy the rest of Summer and stay tuned!
