Version 3.66.3

Bugfix Release

• Fixed the possibility for a failing upgrade task when a Sprint or Board of Agile Hive would have been deleted.
• Fixed an upgrade task which migrates Business Value fields, so that it now only migrates values, for whom no new values where set after failed upgrade tasks.

Important note: A reindex might be necessary, for the change on the Business Value fields to work.

Version 3.66.2

Hotfix release

We fixed the possibility for a failing upgrade task when the start or end date of Sprints were not set (i. e. null values in data base).

This error meant that in this case all upgrade tasks newer than August 2023 were not executed (including the migration of the business CFs). This will be corrected with this hotfix.

Version 3.66.1

Health check in admin settings and PI customfield bugfix

• Health Check warnings will only be shown to administrators and project administrators.
• New Health Check page in Agile Hive admin section.
• Fixed a bug in the PI customfield where the field could not be set on Team issues when no parent issue was linked.

Version 3.66.0

• In Project Hierarchy in the Agile Hive Settings, it's now possible to mark projects in Jira as Shared Service Teams.
• Once marked as Shared Service Team, issues from this project can be linked to features from different ART projects using the Agile Hive Hierarchy link.
• The Teams Involved field supports Shared Service Teams and also calculates the value by looking at linked issues.
• If a Shared Service project has the Planning Interval field configured in its issue types' screen schemes, the PI field can be set either manually depending on the parent issue or it will be calculated depending on Due Date or Sprint.
• Shared Service Team issues will display their hierarchical context in the issue's sidebar.
• ART reports will display the Shared Service Teams that contribute to this ART's features and enablers. To be considered for a certain PI, set the PI field on Shared Service Team issues, or they must be planned in sprints or need to have a Due Date set, that correlates with the PI.

Version 3.65.1

Property calculation, app resilience, minor improvements and bugfixes

• Introducing asynchronous loading for report statistics using a loading skeleton as a placeholder.
• Previously, ongoing property calculations hindered Agile Hive plugin updates, requiring Jira shutdowns for successful updates. We made the property worker more resilient so that an update of the plugin works now as expected.
• Fixed a bug limiting users with only start/complete sprints permissions from starting and completing Sprints due to timestamp issues when creating Planning Intervals.
• Further improvement of the property calculations by eliminating the need to calculate independent team issues every time an issue changes. We now calculate those only when users open the report pages.
• The Public API's Iteration data transfer object now includes the ID field.
• For milestone creation, date formats are now language-dependent, with known issues for Chinese, Spanish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Romanian formats (here you have to use the date picker!)
• Fixed performance problems introduced in 3.65.0.

Version 3.64.3

Bugfix and minor improvements release

• Added the possibility to select a Primary Board for ART and higher level projects. This board will be used to determine Quick Filters for Roadmap backlogs (and other places in the future).
• Added an interface for migrating the Agile Hive issue links to an Agile Hive Cloud readable format.
• Fixed a bug, where on fresh installs of the Agile Hive plugin, Upgrade Tasks, which required the Admin user set (obviously not possible as this is the first install), would fail. On subsequent upgrades, the Upgrade Tasks could run again unnecessarily.
• Fixed a bug where an alternative Agile Hive Dependency Link did not appear on the ART Planning Board right after it was set via the Jira issue detail view.
• Fixed a bug where dependencies between ARTs were not shown initially on the Roadmap but needed an "Update data" or an issue change.
• Fixed a bug where a user without "Edit issues" permission could still drag and drop issues on Breakout Board and Roadmaps.
• Fixed breaking project names in Agile Hive menu.

Version 3.64.2

Improvements and Bugfix release

• All plugins are now compatible with Jira 9.12.

• Fixed the Feature swimlane name on the Breakout Board when scrolling horizontally on a higher zoom level.
• Fixed a bug where two features could overlap if the start or end date was modified in the detail view.
• Fixed a bug on Roadmaps, Planning and Breakout Boards where dropdown menus did not close when switching to other views.
• Fixed a bug where a CSS directive that was defined in another plugin hid the Unplanned Issues backlog.
• Fixed a bug where the Quickfilters for the Unplanned Issues Backlog were taken from the wrong board. (Known Issue: If the Board with the lowest ID is a Scrum Board, this will still be the board from which the filters will be taken. This will be fixed once we release Primary Board for ART level with 3.64.3.)

Version 3.64.1

Bugfix and Compatibility Release

• Fixed NullPointerException during Manual Recalculation when projects had been removed from Hive.

Version 3.60.2

Bugfix Release

Bugfixes

• Burn Up Chart: Fixed a bug that caused the forecast to drop when the sum of SP done in the current PI was significantly higher than the velocity.
• The data points in the Burn Up Chart were still stored in local user time, which led to unexpected behavior. Now they are handled like all other date objects in order to achieve more uniform behavior.
• Project Hierarchy: In large hives, the projects on the right side were partially hidden and no longer accessible. This is fixed now.
• Breakout Board: Fixed a bug, where the Independent issue lane was not visible when there were no independent issues.
• Breakout Board: The subtasks displayed since version 3.60 are now hidden again.
• The "AgileHiveHierarchyProperty" is no longer used. Existing data base entries will be removed by an upgrade task. The performance web service now relies on the "AgileHiveProgramIncrementProperty" - take this into account if you want to compare its results before this version with ones from now on.

Version 3.60.0

JQL Filter for Breakout Board and SAFe 6 naming

New Features

• Added autocomplete field to filter issues by a custom JQL query on the Breakout Board.
• We made the name adjustments for SAFe 6 compliance (i.e. Program to ART etc.).
• The Custom Epic Panel now supports the "Swimlanes"-configuration for the respective board. Just choose the "Epic" option to display swimlanes based on the linked parent issues.

Bugfixes

Version 3.59.3

Security Update

Upgraded the bundled plugin InstaPrinta to version 2.11.1

Version 3.59.2

Bugfix Release

Fixed a bug that prevented the breakout board from loading when an issue was assigned to a sprint without an end-date.

Version 3.59.1

Bugfix Release

• Users can now specify exact times for the start and end of iterations and PIs, with the times automatically converted to other users' local times based on their time zones.
  • This can cause issues with the ART Roadmap display, as this view currently assumes that all dates are in the same timezone. We are working on a fix for this issue.
• "Ghost" issues were displayed on the Breakout Board when sprints had no end date; this has been fixed.
  • End date of the iteration is now used as a fallback when the sprint has no end date.
• Fixed an issue where boards were not loading when there were many ART issues present.
• Log Level has been adjusted so that the following log message is now classified as a warning instead of an error:
  • "0 sprint references were found for the sprint with id. Expected exactly one."

Version 3.59.0

Dependencies between issues of different ARTs on PI Roadmap

New Features

• PI Roadmap: Now shows dependencies between issues of different ARTs.
• Health Checks: Setting an admin user in the Agile Hive admin settings will now check if user has sufficient permissions for all projects in Agile Hive ("Browse project" and "Edit issues"). If not, this will result in a health check warning.

Improvement for PI Roadmap

• The PI Roadmap will display a loading icon for each ART project individually so you won't have to wait until all issues are loaded.

Bugfixes

• Breakout Board: Fixed a bug that prevented the Breakout Board from loading, when sprints did not have an end date set.
• PI Roadmap: Fixed a bug in Safari browser, where the PI Roadmap would not be displayed.

Known Issues

Version 3.58.0

Multiple ARTs on the Roadmap and new Health Check Item

New Features

• Program Roadmap: Show additional ARTs on the roadmap to synchronize planing, show issue progress etc. Future release will also show dependencies between ART-issues.

• The Health Check now validates if the Admin-user for the property calculation has Browse Project - and Edit Issues Permissions on all Projects in the Hive.

• Fixed a bug that prevented apps that are bundled within the Agile Hive Suite from being disabled without affecting the other apps from working properly.

Known issues

• Showing multiple ARTs with a lot of issues might impact the performance of the roadmap UI depending on your system

Version 3.57.0

Improved Roadmap, Reports and Project Hierarchies

Improvements for the Roadmap

• You can now move issues into already occupied rows, moving the existing issues to the row below. Also resizing issues can move issues that would lead to overlapping into a new row.
• New Drag and Drop Library for the roadmap (smoother dragging from sidebar, replacing existing issues, better date snapping)

Improvements for the ART and LS Report

• The PI Overview widget will now show existing WSJF values for the displayed issues. The WSJF value is also used for the issues' order now.

New Quality of Life Feature for the Project Hierarchies

• It is not longer necessary to unlink every project from its parent in order to move said parent to a new parent (e.g. move an entire ART to new Portfolio)

• Sprint Lozenges and Sprint dates would not be displayed anymore
• It was allowed to set an inactive user as admin user in the Agile Hive settings

Notes

• If the Agile Hive admin user currently set in your Jira instance is inactive, the health check will turn red and you will have to set a new admin user
• In the current version the ART and Team Burn-up Chart reports could differ because Issues that have no Sprint set but a Program Increment are included in ART report but not in the Team report

Version 3.55.4

Introduced Caching and changed compatibility

New Feature

• Introduces caching for some key entities like Program Increments, Layers and Hive

Bugfixes

• Fixed a problem, where archived issues would still appear on some of the reports. Agile Hive Hierarchy links are now removed from archived issues, to correctly calculate story point statistics.
• Fixed a bug, where cache was not cleared when Manual Recalculation was triggered immediately after upgrade

Important Notes

• A manual recalculation is required to correct the currently falsely visible issues.
• With this bugfix, Jira Version 8.4.0 will be the earliest supported version.

Version 3.54.0

Report refactoring

• Fixed the capacity calculation for all Reports
• Fixed a bug, where creating or modifying independent issues on Team level did not change the ART Report statistics and was not displayed in the ART Report overview

Version 3.49.0

New Objective handling and other improvements

• Team and ART objectives are now assigned to a report by their PI field. For existing objectives with an Objective link, an upgrade task will set the appropriate PI to display them correctly. Note: Since the changes made are visible in the issue history assigned to the user who installed the update, it is recommended to use a non-personal administrator account. Please add the PI field to the Objective's field screen.
• The public REST API has been expanded. The full documentation can be viewed in your own Jira instance: https://your-jira-instance.de/rest/agilehive/latest/public/
