DC app - Running release notes

🎉Epic links can be further customised

If you are using epic links in your release notes, you can customise them further to meet your needs.

🎉Confluence page update 1.0 is here 🍻

ARN now supports ability to update an existing Confluence page. This is 1.0 & only full update is allowed. In the next 6 weeks, we will go live with 2.0 that lets you append/prepend to existing Confluence content.

🎉Settings icon added on field listing ⚙️

⚙️ without any UI element, it wasn’t clear that one can further customise the Jira issue fields further. Now it is abundantly clear

🎉Support for customer satisfaction fields

If you use ARN in Jira service management projects, then you can generate reports based customer satisfaction fields. We have added support for customer satisfaction & customer satisfaction date.

🐞Release dates off by a day in calendar

Calendar tab in ARN displays releases for a given project based on their start & end dates. For some timezones, the dates were off by one day. This is now addressed, all dates should appear correctly.

🎉Stats can be generated as links 🔗

Stats can now be rendered as links that point back to Jira with the advanced search using configured JQL.

🎉Header & footer for PDF templates are here

😍 PDF templates in ARN now support configuration of header & footer content. Start customising your pdf release notes now!

🤹‍♂️ Hint for adding header/footer in PDF template

PDF templates now support addition of header & footer. But for that to work, custom margin has to be used. That’s what we’ve highlighted via a message on the UI. No functional impact, only UX improvement.

🎉

Clone JQL sections in just one click

We have seen so many of you spend a lot of time create multiple JQL sections that are almost identical with only a few minor differences. Well, you can use that time to do something else. One click ‘Clone JQL section’ is here 1️⃣

🎉

Custom field id visible in JQL section

We’ve enhanced JQL section so that field id is displayed in case a custom field is used. Helps the nerds keep things organised 🤓.

🎉

Stats now supported in page property macro

ARN does a lot more than just generating release notes. Many of you use it for reporting. We just extended that possibility further by allowing Stats to be used inside of Page properties macro within Confluence template. Put on your thinking hat 🎩 & get going.

🎉

Global templates now allow cloning

:partying_face: cloning is here for global templates (earlier it was restricted to local templates only). Just use the ‘Clone' action from template listing page as you’d do normally. That’s it.

🎉

PDF file names accept variables

Up until now PDF file names generated by ARN were pre-determined. Now you can put together an expression with variables & ARN will generate PDF release notes with the desired file name. Read more here.

🎉Calendar tab is back with a bang

💥 during the recent migration project, we had taken down the calendar tab. It is now back with the exact same functionality.

🎉Template builder now supports hyperlinks

ARN’s visual template builder now supports an additional content type - hyperlinks. Before, one had to modify the source code of the template. That is not needed anymore 🤩

🎉Publish release notes on multiple Confluence instances

Some of you requested ability to publish release notes on multiple Confluence instances, here you go 🎁. One can now connect upto 3 Confluence instances from ARN.

🎉Help tab 📢 introduced

📢. introducing ‘Help’ tab within the app that provides easy access to important resources.

🐞Mails being sent with empty result set 💔

Introduced during the migration project (v 2.3), we have now fixed ♥ this. Mails won’t be sent (if the config is appropriate) if none of the JQL sections return any results.

🐞'Empty state' configuration not behaving as expected

JQL sections let you configure ‘Empty state’ so that if the JQL doesn’t return any issues, the entire section will be hidden. This wasn’t happening & in case of no results, ‘no issues’ was being displayed. Stitched 🧶

🤹‍♂️ Much awaited, major platform release 🥳

We have now completed the major migration project we have been working on, for the past 6 months 😎. This will now help us expedite feature releases as a single code base serves both cloud & on-prem apps.

🐞Source code option wasn't available from previews

Ability to view source code for the generated release notes was missing from previews. This is now addressed 👌 .

🐞Apostrophe was not escaped in the JQL query

If the version name included an apostrophe, ARN couldn’t parse it properly leading to an error. 🐛quashed.
