From FEBRUARY 2024 we no longer automatically offer technical support, security updates, or bug fixes for vulnerabilities for our server apps .

Regular security updates help protect your business from threats and vulnerabilities. We recommend moving to Atlassian Cloud or Atlassian Data Center and our Cloud or Data Center apps as soon as possible.
