Note to subscribers of those release notes - Changes to the Atlassian Marketplace.

Unfortunately, you also receive the release notes of Cloud versions, which is a little disturbing. Those release notes are irrelevant for Data Center users. They cannot be filtered, we do not have a choice in those emails being sent. They can be identified because they have no release notes.

This change is part of a larger evolution of the Atlassian Marketplace, where it sends irrelevant emails, adds delays and constraints for vendors, and makes our work more difficult. We’ve asked, and Atlassian has so far refused to change this trend.

Please understand that Requirement Yogi has nothing to do with the Atlassian Marketplace’s decisions.

Improvements

RY-1909: When Confluence is connected to several Jira instances, the dropdown to add custom fields in the traceability matrix would only display fields from one source. Now, we also display the custom field type and explicitly show fields which are n

Bugs

RY-1891: Requirements having wrong format are no longer interrupting the migration

Note to email subscribers of the release notes: You are also receiving notifications related to new releases of our Cloud app. Those releases are automatically created by Atlassian without text or content when we change scopes or add major features (like Data Residency).

This object is returned in most APIs of the search, for archived requirements only.

Hi everyone,

We did it. We're compatible across the board, from Confluence 7.19 to the not-even-released Confluence 9.0! 🎉

Other vendors were more impacted by the technical challenges of Confluence 9.0, so please be patient and carefully check everyone's release notes before upgrading.

The other good news is that users of Confluence 7.19 can upgrade too:

• RY-1540 Compatibility with Confluence from 7.19 to 9.0,
• RY-1520 Test & Compliance was interfering with the traceability matrix when installed together with Requirement Yogi,
• RY-1458 Color for the statuses of the Easy Dropdown Menu, when using the indexing v2,
• RY-1542 Display the description of requirements in property panel of the editor.
• If PSEA is also installed on your instance, then the version 2.0.1 will be required and it only supports Java 11 (which is the build-in version in Confluence).

Best regards,

The Yogi team
