Hi all,

 

as you probably noticed, jboss.org JIRA instance running at http://issues.jboss.org has been upgraded this week to JIRA 5 and GreenHopper 5.10.

 

There is lot of interesting improvements in JIRA 5 as you can see in Release Notes. Probably most noticeable are:

  • Share issues when you need someone else to take a look at a JIRA issue or a list of issues
  • Mention users in Description and Comment fields
  • JQL enhancements to search for issues based on their history
  • Improved and more stable REST API

 

GreenHopper has been updated from 5.8 to 5.10, so you need to check two release notes:
