🎉POSTing the Markdown template 📑

ARN now supports the possibility of POSTing the Markdown to a pre-defined URL. This works especially well if you want to post the content to MS Teams.

🎉Adding more permissions for granular control ⚙️

Jira admins now have more control over the sensitive features of ARN to protect the organization's data from being released in public domain. Read more about this here.

🐞Multiple line breaks were getting ignored

Multiple line breaks included in the multiline field were getting ignored when transporting them to ARN. For the presentation nerds out there, we have corrected this behaviour

🐞Font size of 'Custom field' was not getting updated 🧐

There was a bug which would not allow change of font size when one or more ‘Custom Fields’ were included in the JQL section. This is now fixed.

🎉ARN evaluation license can now be extended beyond 3 months 🥳

ARN server/DC variant supports evaluation up to 3 months. Now it is possible to extend it beyond by deleting all your existing data and starting fresh simply by confirming so within the app.

🎉

Welcome custom styling of 'Group by' fields 😻

The way ARN rendered Group by fields in release notes was hardcoded. Now it is possible to apply custom styling to the label & value of Group by field.

Dynamically include issue users as release notes email recipients 📧

Don’t limit release notes communication to pre-defined set of users, add issue users dynamically to the list. e.g. reporters, creators, assignees, watchers or any other multi-user custom fields.

'Run rule as' parameter to honour existing Jira project permissions 🔐

In Jira cloud, an app has a peculiar user called ‘App user’. This user has access to all Jira projects.
Before this, if anyone tried to use a JQL query (in ARN templates) that pulled data from projects they don’t have access to - they will see the data. But with this change, we are running every rule in the capacity of rule creator and allowing additional configuration of changing this behaviour - by turning on the ‘App user’ configuration.

🐞Run rule as value was being inserted as null causing errors in rule execution, fixed 🧐

For fresh installations, when default rules were added automatically they had ‘Run rule as’ value set to null. This caused errors while executing these rules. The fix will insert accurate entry instead of null and will also update all the existing rules where the value is already null.

🐞Hyperlinks from Scriptrunner's custom field were not rendered properly 🥺

To prevent XSRF, we had sanitised some special characters earlier. That caused some legitimate hyperlinks from Scriptrunner’s custom fields to not render properly. This is now addressed.

🐞Date time was auto added to headers in PDF templates

There was a bug that inserted date time into headers of PDF release notes generated via ARN. This is now fixed 🐞

🎉Cross project release calendar as a Jira dashboard gadget 🥳

It is now possible to insert cross project release calendar from ARN as a Jira dashboard gadget.

🐞Custom fields in release notes were returning values inconsistently 😟

In order to improve performance, we used a wrong API. ARN was fetching historical values for Custom fields included in the templates. This now stands corrected.

🎉🤩 🥳 🤓 Much awaited cross project release notes templates have landed!

No need to use some workarounds to generate cross project release notes. Now simply create a multi-version template on the ARN cross-project screen & bingo.

Support for cross project release notes is on the way and as a precursor, we are improving multi-version support. Read more about it here.

🎉🙌 JQL section titles now support formatting & Stats

Image Modified

Up until now it wasn’t possible to format JQL section title visually, or include Stats in it. Well, that changes now

🎉Send HTML release notes as email attachment 📑

Up until now, it wasn’t possible to send HTML release notes via email. Now it is. Similar to PDF, just attach the HTML release notes to an outgoing release notes email.

🎉Welcome JQL autosuggest 🎊

JQL sections are the core of ARN’s immense flexibility. Now, we have made them even better with the release of JQL autosuggest feature. Just type in and complete the JQL within ARN.

🎉ARN branding is now available across all visual templates 📌

We have introduced ARN branding for all visual templates. This branding cannot be disabled in the free cloud version, for others it can be easily taken out.

🎉🤖 ARN becomes smarter as it starts retaining last visited pages

To make your use of ARN a bit more swift, the app now remembers what ARN screen you visited last & brings you to that page automatically the next time.

🎉Calendar now displays detailed & structured info about releases 📊

We wanted the release calendar in ARN to be of more value to you. And thus we are introducing a pop-up displayed on click of a version in the calendar. This information is available in in-project & cross-project calendars.

🐞Minor correction in JQL autosuggest feature 😯

When there were too many values for a field in the JQL, autosuggest wasn’t working based on user’s inputs. That is now fixed.
