[xwiki-users] [ANN] JIRA Macro and JIRA Scripting API v8.2.1 released

Hi everyone, FYI I’ve released version 8.2.1 of the JIRA Macro (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/JIRA+Macro) and the JIRA Scripting API (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/JIRA+Module). The main new feature is the ability to access authenticated JIRA servers and to manage JIRA servers configuration from the Admin UI, see http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/JIRA+Administration/ Before you had to specify a URL when using the JIRA macro, such as {{jira url=“http://jira.xwiki.org” …/}}. You should now prefer using the {{jira id=“someid” …/}} parameter and define “someid” in the Admin UI. This allows to manage centrally JIRA instance configuration. Note that the URL parameter is still supported though. In addition, these extensions were located in xwiki-rendering and xwiki-platform. They’re now under xwiki-contrib which means they’re now no longer linked to releases of XWiki; they now have their own release lifecycle, which will have 2 consequences: - it’ll be easier to release new versions more quickly - any committer on xwiki-contrib can improve them Enjoy! Thanks -Vincent
