New look and feel for Advanced Roadmaps for Jira
For: END USERS ADMINS
We're rolling out major updates to the user interface in the Advanced Roadmaps for Jira. These enhancements provide a seamless experience across Programs and Plans, ensuring consistency in how you view and manage your projects.
Here’s what's new:
- Restructured user interface and improved administration and program management functionalities for a more intuitive experience.
- Implemented dark theme, offering a modern and visually appealing interface. To test your apps for compatibility, enable the dark theme by going to your Profile, then Theme, and select Dark.
With these changes, we've also addressed security and accessibility concerns and reduced technical debt by updating outdated technologies.
Dates now follow profile timezone in Jira automation
For: END USERS ADMINS
We're updating how dates and times are displayed in Jira automation. Now, they'll be displayed in the timezone set in your Profile settings. Previously, these were shown in your system timezone. The timezone information will also appear alongside the dates and times. This change affects the following screens:
- Audit logs
- Performance insights
- Rule details
Improve Jira performance with Instance optimizer
For: ADMINS
We're introducing a new, more efficient way to manage Jira performance. Meet Instance Optimizer for Jira—a Marketplace app designed to help you identify and fix performance issues on your Data Center instance.
Instance optimizer contains key automation features and recommended settings that ensure your Jira stays fast and stable:
- Index auto-healing automatically detects and resolves indexing issues, ensuring your app’s performance remains optimal without requiring full reindexing.
- Database integrity checks functionality regularly scans and fixes inconsistencies in Jira’s database.
- Custom fields optimization is now part of the optimization features, so you can clean up your fields and proactively improve performance in one place.

Redirect email replies for Jira notifications
For: ADMINS
We're introducing a feature that lets you set the Reply-to header in email notifications. This ensures that replies are directed to a different address than the From address, preventing mismatches and protecting sensitive information.
The new field in Jira is called Receive replies at and you can find it on the following screens:
- Outgoing mail form in Settings, then System, then Outgoing mail, and open Configure new SMTP Mail Server
- Outgoing mail overview in Settings, then System, then Outgoing mail
- Project summary page in Settings, then Projects
- Project notifications page in Settings, then Projects
- Jira Setup Wizard in Select project and Summary

View your repo health with Sync history
For: ADMINS
We're introducing Sync history in the Distributed Version Control System (DVCS) admin section, a new feature that provides a repository sync audit log at a glance. Previously, admins couldn't access essential information about past repo syncs, making it challenging to assess the health of the sync process and debug errors.
Now, you can access a detailed list of repository syncs from the past seven days in the audit table, reducing the time you need to identify and isolate problem areas. The details include start and end time, sync status, failure reason, duration, and type of sync (soft or full).
To check the sync history of your repo:
- Go to Settings , then Applications.
- Go to DVCS accounts and open your account.
- Next to the repo you want to check, select Show sync history.
Feature flags removal
For: ADMINS
We’ve removed two feature flags:
com.atlassian.jira.agile.darkfeature.boards.find.on.board.sprint.optimized.disabled
- the legacy solution that was already turned off by default has now been removed. Only the optimized solution works now.com.atlassian.jira.agile.darkfeature.legacy.epic.picker
- the legacy solution was disabled by default in Jira 8.20.5. We’ve now removed it and only left the optimized solution.
New entry in deserialization blocklist
For: ADMINS
We’ve added a new entry to the list of classes that are blocked from deserialization: org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager
.
This update enhances security by preventing remote code execution (RCE) attacks via Java Management Extensions (JMX) when the JtaTransactionManager
is sent as a payload. More about monitoring using the JMX interface
