JEMH 4.0.0 is finally out for Jira 9.0.0!

This release took a while…

This release took longer than usual to complete due to some undocumented changes in Jira 9.0.0 (velocity template usage of Active Objects no longer work) that broke pretty much every single UI screen’s in JEMH, fixing that let us to address other things in our backlog that will make a big impact for customers, primarily:

Profiles are now fully cached in memory which now drives both UI Profile navigation which becomes much snappier, as well as email processing where the interaction with the db to retrieve configuration will be near zero. Its DC aware and will have its local cache replicated to other nodes within 1 minute of noticed changes.

Breaking changes

As a Major release, we have taken some steps to clean house that result in breaking changes:

  • JEMH Profile XML exports from < 4.0.0 cannot be imported into JEMH 4.x, JEMH 4+ profiles are: <Profile version="11">

  • We have removed historic support for simple ‘username’ for fields such as the default reporter, in favour of the expanded form:<user displayName="admin" emailAddress="admin@admin.com" key="JIRAUSER11000" name="admin"/> that has been included in the JEMH 3.3.x series of releases

  • Wufoo field processor has been removed due to lack of use/duplication

  • 3rd party Field Processors access to configuration is now through dedicated data carrier ‘bean’ classes in the API package, see Javadoc for IJEMHRuntimeConfig

Additional Improvements

  • Profile Breadcrumb trail: has become more consistent, more links added allowing new tabs to be opened ‘deeper’ into Project Mappings and below.

  • Advisories: We’ve seen some monster profiles through support that showed up a lot of advisories, impacting the usability of the main configuration view, so we’ve moved them into their own Advisories section. Individual project mappings now have there project-specific advisories made visible

Upgrade path

Customers must upgrade through Jira 8.x and latest available JEMH 3.3.10x before upgrading to Jira 9.0+
