Jira Software 10.7.x upgrade notes

Here are some important notes on upgrading to Jira Software 10.7.x. For details of the new features and improvements in this release, see the Jira Software 10.7 release notes.

New webhook URL encoding behavior

We’ve updated the way webhook URLs are encoded. Before, Jira would decode and re-encode special characters with varying rules for different characters, leading to inconsistent handling of webhook URLs. For example:

  •  %3D and = would both end up as =
  •  %25 and % would both get encoded as %25

Now, Jira no longer modifies URLs. For example:

  •  %3D in a URL will stay as %3D
  •  = will stay as = .

If you’ve applied custom workarounds like double-encoding of some characters, you'll need to remove them after upgrading to Jira 10.7.0.

Changes to supported platforms
