Jira software update

[Alicia Y]

When can you update the Jira software features such as dependency alignment, Estimation type extension, workflow edition, compatibility of classical epic type and next-gen epic type in portfolio ... etc. ?? We need a detail date so that we can know when to get the implementation of next gen agile licence, current version still got some disadvantage compare to classical agile, however, we did love the "road map" function in next generation....

Hello,

It is difficult to say when Atlassian introduces new features, which are expected by you. Usually you find out about changes after a new version was released in the release notes.

Hi Alexey, thanks for your reply, can I know when the scheduled release date for a new version is every month? It's impossible and not convenience for us to check the release note daily, right?

[Alexey Matveev]

I am not aware of the dates of releases. But you can check this page:

Atlassian release "when it is ready", not by arbitrary points in a calendar, so there is no schedule.

Noted, thank you guys.

And I have one more question @Alexey Matveev,once a patch updated, will my current Jira software be updated automatically? Or do we need to buy the updated licence? For example, I bought the current Next-gen Jira, and later I realised the feature of workflow customization had been updated, will my current Jira software be updated automatically or I need to pay for this new patch?

[Alexey Matveev]

Do you meant that you have Jira Cloud? I gave you links for Jira Server. On Jira Cloud your instance will be updated automatically. You do not need to buy anything or ask for update. Another thing that you can not ask Atlassian not to update your Jira Cloud instance, your Jira Cloud instance will be updated anyway.

For Jira Cloud I ve never seen release notes.

Yes, I am using Jira Cloud, okay, noted, thank you so much Alexey
