We are proud to announce our R4J - Requirements Management for Jira will release version 4.5 soon.
If you would like to participate in the 4.5 BETA release, we advice for you to prepare the following ahead of the release:
The revision cleanup process is a required action for this release. Due to the clearing up of data in the R4J revision history tables, views that use the revisions are affected and were modified accordingly to fit the new implementation. The cleanup is performed as a background task and no downtime is expected. |
