Minor fixes and improvements

This is a major release update that migrates the app from the Atlassian Connect app development platform to the new Atlassian Forge platform. This is a necessary change as Atlassian has announced the retirement of the Atlassian Connect platform in the near future (see Announcing Connect End of Support: Timeline and Next Steps).

There are no changes in terms of app features or gadget functionality.

What is the impact of this upgrade?

After upgrading to this new version, the existing dashboard gadgets in your Jira Cloud instance will continue to work as before and no specific action is required.

But, if you also have Great Gadgets for Confluence Cloud app installed in your Confluence Cloud instance, the macros from Confluence pages might stop working. To restore their functionality please also install StonikByte Connector for Jira Cloud (free app) in your Jira Cloud instance.

For any questions, please contact StonikByte Support.
