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!

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.
