Data Center Approval

This app for Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket, with 8.0 release is a Data Center approved app for Atlassian Marketplace. In addition to being Data Center compatible, the app is now tested and verified for its compliance with Data Center scalability and availability standards. This ensures delivering high standard of reliability in a cluster and performance at scale.

Additional Notes

  • With the progression of the Agile Command Line Interface (CLI) with new capabilities, this is a reminder that the older Jira agile actions are deprecated as noted in the reference - these deprecated actions will be removed in some future release. Customers should use the agile client included in the distribution which will continue to improve with new capabilities. The existing Jira CLI connector app supports connections from all the Jira related clients including agile, servicedesk, tempo, and jira.
  • There are some minor incompatibilities with the agile related actions including output format changes (columns removed and added).
  • Atlassian has discontinued Hipchat. See Atlassian's announcement for details. As a result, Hipchat CLI will also be discontinued. Client distributions will continue with the Hipchat client for a limited time as people migrate off the platform. We will no longer be testing against Hipchat nor respond to Hipchat support requests. Even after removal from the distribution, customers can still use older distributions against their Hipchat server instance for as long as they wish.

Compatibility

Compatibility

The Atlassian Command Line Interface (CLI) supports a large range of product releases. The matrix below provides compatibility guidelines based on testing, API compatibility information provided by Atlassian, and community feedback. User's are encourage to help improve compatibility information through discussions and issues. The CLI also works with releases not officially listed here since in many cases it uses remote APIs provided by Atlassian that have been stable for many years. Check previous versions of the CLI for coverage of earlier releases. Users should verify their usage scenarios on new releases. Support normally is limited to minimum releases indicated. Client requires at least Java 1.8. In some cases, new actions are only available on later versions of the server - these are often noted in the documentation or in error messages.

To simplify the matrix, we no longer list much older releases even though there is some level of compatibility for these as well. Refer to earlier compatibility notes for information on older releases.

See also Compatibility for overall information on supported Atlassian releases.

CLI Clients and Connectors

  • 8.0 clients require connectors at version 7.8 or higher. 
  • Cloud users usually need to update their clients regularly to address incompatibilities introduced by Atlassian with their daily Cloud updates. We deliver EAP releases to immediately cover any problems.
