Release Notes

1.0-m28

  • New documentation for the Atlassian Connect Javascript API
  • Java 7 is no longer required at runtime (change in atlassian-jwt 1.0-m8)
  • JSON descriptors that request web-hooks must now also request the corresponding scopes required to receive these web-hooks
    • Without the correct scope you will see an error in the host product's log during installation that tells you which scope to add
  • JIRA REST API endpoints are in the JSON descriptor scopes white-list
    • If your add-on uses these endpoints then you can now specify scopes in your descriptor and they will be respected in authorisation checks on requests to JIRA
    • E.g. add "scopes": ["READ", "WRITE"] to your JSON descriptor if your add-on performs read-only actions and mutating actions
    • Scopes white-list documentation coming soon so that you will be able to figure out which scope is required for each endpoint that you access

1.0-m25

Atlassian Connect 1.0-m25 introduces a number of changes to how you will build add-ons for Atlassian OnDemand. There are two important changes in this release: a new format for your add-on descriptor and a new authentication method. Both of these changes are designed to help developers build add-ons more quickly and easily.

  • JSON Add-on Descriptor
  • JSON Web Token (JWT) Authentication
  • atlassian-connect-express v0.9.0

These new features replace the XML descriptor and OAuth, which are now deprecated. Please read the deprecation notices.
