Git Integration for Jira (Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab)

v5.5.1

• Corrected an issue that caused an error when upgrading from v5.4.1 to 5.5.0
• Improved support of GitLab access levels

v5.5.0

• Build and deployment information is now available for GitHub, GitLab, and Microsoft (e.g. Azure) services. This provides more visibility as a work item moves along CI/CD processes.
  • For existing GitHub integrations: indexing this information requires adding extra permissions to the GitHub App. To do that, one has to add 'Actions' and 'Deployments' permissions with 'read-only' access to the corresponding GitHub App according to instructions here.
  • After that, it is required to confirm the permission change. To do that, open the install of the GitHub App by clicking 'Install App' item in the left menu and pressing "a gear" button of the existing install. In the install settings, there is a change permissions warning with 'Review request' button.
• Improved the migration to Jira Cloud (Connect) by adding fields for web links
