• The rendering of the Issue Navigator XML output is now configurable via the configuration page.
• 'Raw Wiki' is now a rendering option. Selecting this will leave the last comment as it was typed in the comment box.

An upgrade task was fixed so that draft workflows that contained references to missing deprecated classes will be fixed in workflows using the Comment on Transition feature.

Configuration form design has been overhauled.

Changes:

• Field names and description have been made clearer to reduce confusion on purpose.
• Field descriptions are now hidden, but can still be viewed by clicking on the '?'.

Bugs Fixed:

• • LCCF-91: configuration does not save

A Getting Started page has been added to assist in the creation of the Last Comment custom field.

This can be accessed after plugin installation or via the Manage Add-Ons page.

This release makes the plugin compatible with Jira 6.4.

Issues Fixed:

LCCF-80: Fixed a bug with the XML Output that prevented the field from displaying correctly in Confluence via Jira Issues Macro.

This release fixes a Cross Site Scripting(XSS) vulnerability in the Last Comment Custom Field.

Customers are urged to update in order to close this security hole.

Issues Addressed in this release:

• LCCF-75 - Fixed a bug that prevented you from using the CommentOnTransition workflow function.
• Fixed a UI bug that occurred when trying to edit a CommentOnTransition workflow function.
• Fixed a bug that rendered HTML incorrectly in some cases.

Changes:

• LCCF-73 - Fixed bug affecting some users that prevented the plugin from rendering the last comment properly based on the configuration.

Changes:

• LCCF-72: Fixed targeted search bug that limited the amount of results to 10 or less.
• LCCF-74: Username and Timestamp is now surrounded by brackets so that they are easier to discern from the comment.
• LCCF-71: Fixed bug that prevented XML Exports.
• LCCF-63: Fixed bug where non-logged in users could not view the last comment field.

Targeted Search Documentation: Targeted Searching

Rendering changes:

• Last Comment is no longer dependent on the the Jira system comment active rendering type, now only uses Last Comment rendering configuration.

• Improved compressing of HTML rendered comments.

Release 3.1.5

• Jira Data Center 6.3 Compatibility isn't quite there yet but will be tomorrow
  • We'll be making the next release compatible with 6.3+ and we knew everyone would want the new functionality - so we're releasing this plugin as valid only for 6.2.7 and will get the Data Center release out tomorrow.
• New Feature: ability to search last comment author's username and display name
• New Feature: ability to search last comment author's project roles
• New Feature: ability to search last comment author's groups

Known limitations listed on our How it Works page

This release adds a new workflow post-function called CCC CommentOnTransition that automatically adds a comment(specified during post-function creation) to an issue during transition.

• Release v3.0.3 changed how the end of a sentence is found once the minimum number of characters is exceeded - previously we only looked for a single '.', which broke URL's. Now we look for a '. ' (period followed by a space)
• Additionally we clarified text under the min/max configuration
• Get a free 1yr License to our splendid workflow Transition Reorder X plugin using promo code https://promo.atlassian.com/RRPXOS when you purchase a copy of CCC Last Comment!

Fixes a bug where a null pointer error is thrown during indexing when comment user could not be found.

New in this release

• compatibility with Jira 6.2+
• demonstration of a more rapid release cycle

Fixed in this release

• Our inability to release a new version without breaking it (and everyone's Jira instance) for 6 months. (this has been FIXED - this is not something we're calling a FEATURE)

• This Release is broken - please do not use it - issue is being tracked here: https://capitalplugins.atlassian.net/browse/LCCF-35
  • We're working to get it resolved ASAP WITHOUT releasing another buggy version (i.e. spending some time on our TC's)

We're pleased to announce...6.0+ compatibility + enhanced contextual viewing

NOTE: Until you configure/re-configure the plugin this release use the following defaults for rendering text:

• Browse Issue
  • Wiki Renderer
• Issue Navigator List View
  • Plain Text Renderer
• Excel Export
  • Plain Text Renderer

----

After a long _(much too long)_ delay we are very pleased to announce the release of Last Comment 2.0.6 build 420 - compatible with Jira v6.0+

We are extremely thankful for all the support (and purchases) of our little plugin and am sorry for the delay in getting a 6.0+ compatible version released to the marketplace.

But! We have a new Office Manager (say hi to Natalia) to provide us with some long needed support and organization (primarily organization) and will soon have more of our spectacular ideas rolling off the funway.

In addition to providing compatibility with Jira 6.0 through 6.1 we have also resolved some long-standing customer requests related to how the comment is displayed. Specifically you can now have the last comment rendered differently in three different contexts:

1. Browse Issue
2. Issue Navigator List View (only if you add the field to your display)
3. Excel Export

Additionally we've provided a configuration option to not remove the new lines/carriage returns if your organization prefers to view the text in it's original style.

Thank you all for your support and if you bump into me (William Crighton) at summit next week feel free to share any improvements or features you'd like to see added.

NOTE: Installing this release will reset the Last Comment property settings to their default values...Yep, we know, all 4 of them. Hopefully it will at most be a minor annoyance to most.

This release is the result of some excellent assistance from Jay Armstrong helping us debug a problem he encountered during a background reindex. Because of the way we were storing the plugin's property settings in certain instances an exception would be thrown when re-indexing the last comment field.

The resolution to this problem, as noted in bold above, required us to rewrite how the property values were stored (read...we called the OTHER 'storeProperty' routine) - the result of this allowing reindexes to proceed unimpeeded (yea!) but resetting each of the 4 plugin property values to their default value (boo!).

As part of the release cycle we made a minor change to the plugin name (removed the 'Custom Field' part) and modified the plugin description (marketing approved version).

Other plugin listing:  CCC Transition Reorder X - Workflow Transition reorder utility

1. Min/Max comment length (with option to always display entire comment)
2. Renderer selection - Wiki or Plain Text - latter renderer will produce much more readable exported reports
3. Comment author timestamp information

Updating the plugin will not change how it worked previously.

Finally, some changes!

Last Comment has been upgraded to work with all Jira 5.x versions.

To allow us to do this - and by doing so commit to never being further than One month out of date from a major release (two weeks or any minor release that breaks functionality)  we've had to take the plugin commercial. 

For those unfamiliar with this simple plugin please take a look at the included screenshots.

We are deprecating our Studio site for this plugin and migrating everything over to our OnDemand instance....Soon. Atlassian tells us everything will be migrated by 14 Feb.

Additionally there are some important fixes coming - namely to how we handle Wiki Markup in the last comment. The current plan is to just strip it out of the comment and not let it count towards the extracted comment length, but we haven't come to a conclusion on the design yet.

This version (1.0.11) is compatible with Jira 4.4.x.

Apparently we have incorrect install instructions on our Wiki. Please ignore them. Install this plugin via the plugin manager in Jira. Do NOT copy the jar into your WEB-INF/lib directory.

You can just Upload the plugin jar if for some reason you cannot get the plugin manager to pull it from the plugin repository. Or you can just copy it into <jira home>/plugins/installed-plugins/ and restart your Jira server.

4.3 Compatibility added.

Plugin logo created and added. Not a lot of work went into the logo making.

We've upgraded the plugin to be a version 2 plugin plus we've removed the username/datetime stamp from the plugin comment.

Our thought with removing the username/timestamp is that information can be shown via the 'last updated by' field along with the days since last comment field. It cleans up the last comment string and makes it smaller (fewer lines - well, 1 fewer line)

Note: We changed the file name to 'ccc-lastcomment-<version>.jar - you will need to delete the previous version when installing this one. This one is 'ccc-lastcomment-1.0.45.jar'.

This is still a v1.0 version plugin that needs to go into WEB-INF/lib. We're working on the v2.0 but ran into some problems and needed to get this change released, so there you go.

Enjoy! It has been tested with all the 4.0, 4.1 releases and so if you have problems please raise and issue in the Jira project located here: https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/LSTCMT

The source is out of date and we apologize for that - it's not that we don't want to share, we've just not refreshed it for a while and aren't in the habit of refreshing it for each release (yet).

Fixed bug where it will display last comment regardless of whether the current user has permission to view it
