Read before you install/upgrade: Atlassian does not support upgrades both 'from' and 'to' EAP releases. EAP releases should not be used in production environments as they are not officially supported. For all production use and testing of JIRA, please use the latest official release instead.
Key Features
新しい課題ナビゲーター
We made it easier to create and edit issues with inline editing in JIRA 5.1 and the create/edit issue dialog in JIRA 5.0. In this release, we're making it easier for you to find issues with a brand new issue navigator. With easily accessible filters, each team member can quickly access team priorities, view and remove blockers, and track progress toward a common goal.
Here's a summary of the features we've added so far:
- 新しいシステム フィルター — JIRA で最も一般的なビュー（「自分がオープンした課題」、「自分が報告」、「最近の表示履歴」、「すべての課題」）を簡単にフィルターできます。
- Favourite filters on the navigator — Quickly switch between views. Your favourite filters are now just a click away.
- Intuitive filter management — See who owns a filter at a glance and whether changes have been made, at a glance.
- 新しい検索バー — 検索で希望の条件を選択するだけです。目的の検索条件に焦点を当て、他の部分は非表示にします。
- Ad-hoc searches — Search and refine on the fly with immediate results. Refresh your results without reloading your page.
- 複雑な検索— 複雑な検索を簡単に作成して実行できます。新しい検索 UI によって、プロジェクトの数、カスタム フィールド、または JIRA の構成にかかわらず、検索がシンプルになります。
We'll be adding more improvements with each new EAP milestone. However, being a technology preview, the issue navigator is incomplete and will have bugs. For a list of known issues, please see this page: New Issue Search Known Issues.
The new issue navigator is the default issue navigator in this EAP milestone. You will not be able to revert back to the old issue navigator. We would love to hear your feedback on this preview. You can provide feedback via the Give Feedback link on the new issue navigator in your JIRA instance.
In this release:
Workflow administration improvements
Jira 4.4 でのワークフロー管理と Jira 5.1 でのプロジェクト管理の改善に続き、アトラシアンではプロジェクト内でのワークフローの編集を容易にするための改善に取り組んでいます。Jira ワークフローのパワーと柔軟性を引き続き利用しながら、さらに直観的に構成を行えます。
ワークフロー スキーム デザイナー
This release provides you with the perfect complement to the existing workflow 'Diagram edit mode' — the workflow scheme designer. The workflow scheme designer replaces the existing workflow scheme page for a project (note, it is not available from the global list of workflow schemes). It provides you with a powerful tool for viewing and configuring a workflow scheme.
The workflow scheme designer shows a visual representation of a workflow scheme. A diagram of each workflow in the scheme is displayed in a table, with the associated issue types alongside. The old text-based view of each workflow is still available as well, if you prefer.
Configuring a workflow scheme is also much easier. Want to preview changes as a draft before publishing? Want to browse through diagrams of the workflows in the system when adding a workflow? Want to assign multiple issue types to a workflow in a single step? You can now do all of these tasks and more.
画面デザインが簡単に
The screen designer has been overhauled in this release. Screens are just as customisable as ever, however the user interface is faster and much simpler to use. You won't have to wrestle with 
controls when reordering — just drag and drop to move a field or tab. Autocomplete is now used when adding fields, making this process quicker and easier as well.
入門ガイド
For new installations, JIRA now gives you the option of creating a demonstration project. This demonstration project contains a number of sample issues that explains some JIRA basics: searching for issues, keyboard shortcuts, and editing issues. You can keep this project for future new users, or delete it at a later stage if you no longer need it.
JIRA now has inline help tips to guide new users in getting the most out of JIRA, the most prominent being a handy message instructing users to create issues. Others include admin only tips for creating users and editing workflows.
課題の Webhook
Webhook は、リモート アプリケーションが JIRA からプッシュ通知を受信するための軽量なメカニズムを提供します。たとえば、JIRA のバグに何か変更があれば、その変更がテスト管理システムにプッシュされ、再試験できます。
Registering a webhook is as simple as entering the name of a webhook and the URL where the callback should be sent. Any time any issue changes in JIRA, a JSON notification will be sent to the URL. No polling required.
You can also refine a webhook to suit your needs — constrain a webhook to fire for a set of issues and/or specific issue events; use a variable to include the key of the issue that fired it; or configure a workflow post-function to fire a webhook.
Enterprise scale and performance improvements
In JIRA 5.1 we created a dedicated team focused on improving JIRA's core performance to make all aspects of JIRA faster, more scalable, and easier to manage. In 5.2, we've continued on to deliver more scale and management improvements for customers running JIRA in an enterprise environment.
パフォーマンスの改善
This release includes a multitude of performance improvements. You may not notice every tweak we've made, but it all adds up to a better user experience. Here are some of the areas that we've tackled:
- Speed — faster rendering for attachments, increased performance for nested filters, faster display of version lists (all browsers except Internet Explorer), faster rendering of wiki markup.
- Indexing — more low level lucene options exposed.
- Memory usage — a reduction in velocity files and more efficient searching
We've also released an HTTP requests log analyser, which you can download separately. See the Additional tools for download section below.
SSL configuration via the JIRA configuration tool
If you want to run JIRA over SSL or HTTPS, you'll be happy to know that we've simplified this process. You won't need to tinker around in XML files anymore, as the JIRA configuration tool has a new screen that lets you easily configure access via HTTPS. The configuration tool also validates your configuration, so you won't need to worry if you've mistakenly entered an invalid certificate.
その他の改善
プロジェクトのための合理化されたユーザー インターフェース

課題コレクターのコピーと編集
JIRA 5.1 では、JIRA 課題コレクターが導入されました。これによって、JIRA インスタンスに課題を作成する web サイトに JIRA フィードバック フォームを埋め込むことができます。このリリースでは、課題コレクターの編集とコピーの機能が追加されました。既存の課題コレクターを微調整したり、完全な新しいものの基礎として使用したりしています。
より高速で信頼性の高いメンション
JIRA 5.0 ではメンションが追加されました。これによって JIRA ユーザーは簡単に、メールで他のユーザーと課題を共有できるようになりました。このリリースでは、この機能に対して重大なパフォーマンスの改善を導入しました。「@」の後に文字を打つと、ユーザー名がより素早く提案されることに気付くと思います。また、提案される結果はより正確で信頼性が高くなっています。
Platform changes
We have made a number of platform changes in this release, including upgrading JIRA to run on Tomcat 7 and support for Java 7. Some of these changes affect the installation and upgrade process for JIRA.
Please read the upgrade guide for details.
Additional tools for download
HTTP Requests Log Analyser
We recently developed a tool to analyse request logs that we are now making available to customers. The HTTP requests log analyser provides you with information, such as the maximum requests per minute, that can help you performance tune your JIRA instance. The tool is not bundled with JIRA, but you can download it for free.
