Update April 4, 2021: We have released R4J 4.4.1 and highly recommend an update to this fix version for customers using the coverage view functionality. See 4.4.1 release notes for details.
We are glad to introduce REST API 2.0, which aims to provide a more complete and better structured REST API support for R4J.
If you have scripts running on REST API 1.0, you don't have to worry! We will not remove this version and support will continue until further notice.
Get familiar with the REST API 2.0 endpoints through the REST API 2.0 Reference.
Announcement
Jira 7 support for R4J will stop from R4J version 4.6. The next major version, R4J 4.5, will be the last version to support Jira 7 compatibility.
This is in line with Atlassian Support’s EOL Policy.
