February 27, 2023

Before upgrading to this release, see Upgrading a Multi-Node Jira Data Center Instance for important considerations.

New Features

  • Significant Increase in Dataplane Indexing Speed (MySQL databases only)

    • MySQL full index builds now complete up to 5x faster. (Performance may vary depending on the configuration of Jira and database)

Improvements

  • Upgraded included libraries to get the latest improvements, fixes and security patches.

Fixes

  • Fixed PDF report export issue causing Jira issue statuses in the "Todo" status category to be covered by a dark-gray rectangle and unreadable.
  • Fixed one source of MySQL database error "Got SQL exception transforming JQL: The table 'arthash' is full". An app disable/enable or manual emptying of Dataplane database table 'arthash' was previously needed to clear the condition. (MySQL databases only)

Upgrading a Multi-Node Jira Data Center Instance

Before upgrading to this release note the following important considerations.

Normally Dataplane does not force a rebuild of its index when upgrading versions. However there is a known issue on multi-node Jira Data Center instances where, due to a Jira node cache synchronization problem during app installation, Dataplane may incorrectly assume it does not have a valid index and require its index to be rebuilt.

As index rebuilds can take substantial time on large instances, plan the timing of your Dataplane upgrade with the assumption that an index rebuild might be required.

This issue does not affect Jira Server or single-node Jira Data Center instances. If you are affected by this issue, contact Arsenale Support so we can add you to our notify list for when a fix is released.
