7.4.1 New configuration parameter "Max. recursive calls"

• Fixed minor bugs.

• Parameter “Max. recursive calls“. Affects the linksHierarchyFilter function.

Recursive searches in your JQL, they can cause issues with your Jira instance, slowing it down.

Added a new configuration parameter (System > Manage apps > Links Hierarchy > Troubleshooting) so that administrators can control the number of recursive searches allowed for the linksHierarchyFilter function.

Example 1:

for the jql: issue in linksHierarchyFilter(“Filter A”)

[with “Filter A”]: … AND linksHierarchyFilter(“Filter DEMO”) … // First recursive search

[with “Filter DEMO”]: project = DEMO

The complete search will be done for [“Max. recursive calls“ > 0]

Example 2:

for the jql: issue in linksHierarchyFilter(“Filter A”)

[with “Filter A”]: … AND linksHierarchyFilter(“Filter B”) … // First recursive search

[with “Filter B”]: … AND linksHierarchyFilter(“Filter C”) … // Second recursive search

[with “Filter C”]: … OR linksHierarchyFilter(“Filter D”) … // Third recursive search

[with “Filter D”]: … AND linksHierarchyFilter(“Filter DEMO”) … // Fourth recursive search

[with “Filter DEMO”]: project = DEMO

The complete search will be done for [“Max. recursive calls“ >= 4]

For [“Max. recursive calls“ = {value between 0 and 3}], the search will abort and return no results.

• IMPROV: Matrix performance has been improved and now it is drawn up to 30% faster. These are the results of our benchmarks:

• And other minor  bug fixes...

...

5.4.0

• IMPROV: Exporting matrixes to Excel is faster now

• IMPROV: Built-in JQLs' (with applied filters on them) performance improved

• IMPROV: New button for Full Screen for network graph and tree views

• IMPROV: The network graph and tree views are resized to smaller when fewer data are displayed.

...

5.3.1

• FIX: On some databases, the 5.3.0 version of the app stops to work as there is a column doubled indexed which might cause issues.

...

5.3.0

• IMPROV: Reversed Links. In Jira, link directions are essentially arbitrary as they have no impact anywhere except how the link labels are named and displayed. However, link directions are critical in Links Hierarchy app since it computes inward progress only from the root. Therefore, some link-types contributions are missed by the users as they are not computed. This new feature allows the administrators to reverse the link directions right within the app only while the original direction is preserved in the rest of Jira. In this way, the administrators can make some like types to contribute to progress in the expected way.

...

Note that the "split from" (inward direction) overtakes the "split to" (outward direction) when they are displayed.

...

5.2.0

• FIX: Large menus are partially hidden. Now they show a vertical scroll bar

• IMPROV: New Project and Numeric Custom Field filters. The custom field values are displayed and summarized up too:

...

Whereas the calculation is the same from the root issue perspective, now everything is more coherent and easy to understand. 

...

...

• IMPROV: Now JQL functions and the rest of the views avoid loading unnecessary data improving performance.

4.1.10a Fix error in Agile Dashboards (and Blank Tree and Network Graph views)

There was a conflict with one variable name. We have changed the name in hundred places in version 4.1.10, tested the app etc. Unfortunately, the name was not replaced in one line causing the tree and network views gone broken. This release fixes both issues: the agile Board error and the Tree and Network blank views. Apologies for the inconveniences.

4.1.8 Fix: Error panel in tree hierarchy view

...

4.1.7 (cumulative changes since the 4.0.19 version) 

• IMPROV: It tries to load the full network graph which will work in most cases. If it is too large and it consumes excessive JIRA resources (memory, CPU,threads, etc.), the plugin might not display the full the network graph at a glance and let the users load incomplete nodes. So users will always able to view the network graph regardless its size.

• IMPROV: Support Sprint Status on network graphs.

• FIX: Export to Excel fully works for JIRA 7.2  and above after Atlassian dropped support for export  to Excel and replaced it with CSV files.

• FIX: the More menu is now fully visible always.

• FIX: Internet Explorer 11: missing arrows on the network graph

• IMPROV: Documentation is now online instead of PDF.

• FIX: Different results in JQL functions vs Tree Hierarchy View: In previous versions, the JQL filters were applied during the tree building to improve performance. Now, the tree is fully built and then the filters applied later on it which is the way it works for the view, so they should be produce the same results now.

• IMPROV: Nicer and lesser disruptive tooltips on the Trew view node elements (icons and texts)

• FIX: A bug affecting license validation has been fixed. Under some circumstances the plugin stops to work even if a commercial license is installed.

• FIX: More robust code on Agile Boards to avoid Error messages which might impact on the Board usability. The Javascript library upgraded in 4.1.0 version causing issues has been rolled back to keep compatibility with 4.0.19 and earlier versions.
