Improvement

While most of the capabilities remain similar, we believe the new, simplified layout provides you with a better experience - improved functionality and usability.
-

Bug fixes

9.12.1 - March 22, 2023
-
Compatible with Jira 8.6 and later (including Jira 9.7.0)
New features
-
We improved frontend performance:
- The front-end will only download the necessary code to run for a specific page. It will reduce bandwidth and make it faster to open the page you want.
- You will notice that the reports tab takes an extra second or two to load, as it will download additional dependencies before opening. This will only happen once. After that, the transition back and forth will be fast as usual.

The report print as PDF now shows the entire page.
-
The report print no longer shows the "Help and Support" button.
