4.7.0, 4.7.1

This release focuses on performance improvements for the tree view and related filter/search operations. Depending on the data and environment, some operations run up to 90% faster than in any older version of R4J. Check out our test benchmarks!

The tree data migration is a required action for this release. Read here for the pre-requisites and detailed execution steps.

R4J 4.7 tree data is not compatible with older versions of the R4J
To resolve performance bottlenecks, which affected the R4J tree rendering and R4J custom JQL queries, we developed an optimized R4J tree data model. Upon starting R4J 4.7.x, you’ll be requested to migrate your projects to the new tree structure. The migration process was thoroughly tested by our test engineers. No data loss is expected.
Nevertheless, as the migration process cannot be rolled back, we recommend backing up your Jira data and verify the process on a staging system before you run a migration on a productive system.
