Release 4.2 – New UI for the search / reports screens

🧪 React Migration

Contents of the release

  • Our new binaries are in Java 11, since this is the minimum for Confluence 8.5 and Jira 9.12 (see the Traceability matrix),

  • Rewritten our screens in React: The search, traceability, reports, and the other space tabs. No administration or space-administration screens were modified,

  • This was an opportunity to notice a few features which weren’t working recently, which work in the new UI:

    • The autocomplete in the search was restored in the new UI,

    • A few details / custom fields (the Xray Requirement Status, …) in the traceability matrix.

  • We feel like the UI is much faster. Tell us if you like it!

  • In 4.2.12, a new feature was added to update Jira links in bulk.

The new UI

  • A lozenge titled “Old UI” is displayed at the top-right of the screen,

  • The URLs are named /requirementyogi/traceability.action (or list.action, etc.)

  • Buttons are rounded,

  • The button to add a new column is blue,

  • The URL is “ui.action”

Notes to administrators

Risk assessment

  • In 4.2.0, we’ve rewritten certains tabs in React (The search, the traceability matrix, the reports tab, the Excel tab, etc. - We didn’t modify the administration screens). There can be several risks for the first customers to upgrade:

    • We’ve reproduced all features. We may have missed some. Please reach out to our support if we missed anything!

    • We’ve changed all URLs. If users are redirected to the old UI, we’ve kept the old screens available and there is a “Old UI” label at the top-right. So, users will still benefit from a working screen, but by default they will be using the new ones.

    • If you notice old URLs / features which are missing from the UI, please report them to us!

No upgrade path from 2.x to 4.x.

  • Don’t forget to check out the announcement in Release 4.0 – Requirement types related to upgrading.

  • As a summary, please upgrade to the most recent 3.x version and wait for all ugprade tasks before using 4.x.
