4.0.0



Due to major architectural changes in the coverage view, some manual steps are required after upgrading the add-on to R4J 4.0.0. See more below



There are breaking changes to the REST api due to the move of the coverage into a separate service. All functions affecting the coverage view have their endpoint changed and need to be adjusted in external scripts.

Summary

R4J 4.0 brings a completely overhauled experience with better performance, layout adjustments and added functionality for the tree view and coverage view.

Finally you can add Confluence pages directly into your requirement tree and display it like a requirement. 

Upgrade Procedure

Saved coverage views must be migrated manually to the new coverage services after upgrade of R4J 4.0.0 from any older version.

  • Go to add-on administration

  • Select R4J - Requirements Management for Jira > Migrate Filters

  • Follow instructions on the screen
