Release 2.1 - Ambitious bugfixes

This release contains important changes that could impact customers. Please review the release notes carefully. There is no "actual feature" in this release.

Permission change: All tabs are visible to everyone

We do NOT require the EXPORT permissions anymore for the tabs below:

We have improved the pagination and performance for all those matrixes, so we are confident that these tabs can be made visible to anyone.

If you used to rely on the EXPORT permission of the space:

• This permissions is deprecated for us,

• You can temporarily reactivate the EXPORT permission until the next micro release, using the system property -Drequirementyogi.require-export-permission-for-matrixes=true.

• Please notify us, otherwise we'll assume that no-one required the export permissions.

Immediate synchronization is mandatory for everyone

If you have Jira issues linked to requirements, then it is not possible anymore to delay the synchronization until a manual action is performed by the user.

Non-immediate synchronization had been deprecated for a long time, so no customer should be impacted... in theory.

Viewing a page

We have accelerated the page load. Rendering the macros doesn't require any access to the database, so pages load faster.

Drawback: The excerpts for the requirement popups are loaded after the page load, and it is especially visible when requirements are highlighted (in red for duplicates, or in other colors for colored requirements).

What we've improved

• RY-383 We ensure that tasks and threads are aborted as cleanly as possible when a user uninstall the plugin,

• RY-280 We've accelerated the loading times for requirements,

• RY-399 Compatibility with Confluence 7 - Confluence will drop some deprecated APIs in the following months, so we've ensured we didn't use them,

• RY-420 Fix the RPC URL when sending requests from Confluence to Jira (for the Traceability matrix),

• RY-421 Fix creating requirements in the dictionaries

• We are working on an API to work with external requirements (from Catia or other plugins).

Changes in the Test & Compliance module

• None.

Changes in the RY for Jira module

• None.
