Notable changes

  • We introduced a Jira global permission a while back to control the visibility of the app, per user. However, this permission is not updated correctly by Jira and is causing issues for new users being added to activated projects. Therefore we have decided to make the use of the permission optional. If you have been using the Jira permission to control visibility, you'll need to enable the respective setting in the global app settings going forward
