Decided to dedicate this minor release to release notes improvements, namely upload to confluence:

• We now create a new version of the document if such document/name already exists

• Render proper links to attachments

Plus small UX improvement

• We now sort projects alphabetically so you can find them easier in our lookups

We decided to dedicate this release to few of the features requested by our clients, namely:

• Release Calendar. Just a view for v1 with ability to look into the future and retrospect backwards. Plus access to Details screen with Summary, Milestones, Issues and Commits. Got loads of ideas how we can develop it further but keen to get your feedback either.
• Release notes. Added group by versions into Release templates as well as standalone Versions Details table.
• Comments and Transitions history for Releases. Same same you already got for versions.
• Release milestones report. Insights on milestones completion for specific release and all its versions.
• Move outstanding issues into another version upon release.
• Few UX Improvements. We will copy all your inputs in Jira standard issue create forms if we can't create it ourselves. Plus few more like auto-populate project name in the picker, create version from release swimlane, etc.

Stay tuned for more releases this Spring!

Cosmetic front-end improvements

We are back, after the summer holidays!

In this release, we have done 3 main improvements:

• We added tags support to versions and releases. Now, the user can structure releases and versions in lots of dimensions. Apply extra filter on the board. New JQL functions will help to extract items by one or multiple tags. Tags are cross board so we open new abilities to organize cross-board releases (before, we had a limitation to filter the data in the scope of one board only)
• Code tracking. User can track code changes on release or version levels: all commits, branches and pull requests will be visualized. As a result, the user can do a cross-check between issue statuses and real code changes.
• We improved the scope change report. Issue type filter could be applied to the report (for instance, now you can track only bugs which were added to the version or be focused on user stories only).
