  • IMPROV: BIRT Runtime 4.8.0 replaced moved from OpenText to Innovent Solutions. A brief history to understand this change: The Eclipse BIRT project is sponsored by three companies. IBM, Open Text and Innovent Solutions. In early 2015, OpenText acquired Actuate Corporation. Actuate was the leading company developing Eclipse BIRT. Unfortunately, since its acquisition, Open Text made developers' live a lot harder and stopped providing critical parts to integrate BIRT with third-party tools like Jira. Perhaps they thought many developers would stop supporting Eclipse BIRT and this would bring new business opportunities to them. Anyway, we were able to migrate Actuate's BIRT runtime (4.6.0) to OpenText's 4.8.0 versions for Jira which took us a lot of weeks, instead of hours. Fortunately, Innnovent Solutions come to the rescue and published its own version of the Eclipse BIRT Runtime for the 4.8.0 version. Now, we have used the Innovate Solutions version to run Eclipse BIRT on Jira which resolves some bugs too. We expect that replacing the provider of Eclipse BIRT will help to support this app for Jira in the short and long-term.
  • FIX: Support for Jira 8.5.0
  • FIX: Some graphs are missing from the reports on Jira.
