CM - Release Notes

Version 4.0

Release Date: April 2026

Sprint lifecycle tracking and performance improvements.

13th Tracked Section: Sprints are now tracked as a full configuration section for Jira Software projects using Scrum boards.
Sprint Lifecycle: Detects sprint creation, deletion, start, close, and reopen events.
Sprint Details: Tracks changes to sprint name, start date, end date, and sprint goal.
Full Attribution: Identifies who created, started, closed, or modified each sprint.
Smart Detection: Automatically detects Scrum vs Kanban boards. Kanban projects are silently skipped — no errors, no noise.
Sprint Filter: New “Sprints” filter button appears only for Software projects, keeping the interface clean for other project types.

Better Attribution: Change attribution now matches by project identity (not just project key), resolving cases where attribution was missing for role changes, project updates, and other modifications.
Workflow API Migration: Migrated to the latest Jira workflow API for future-proof compatibility and richer transition rule data.
Smart Lead Tracking: Project lead and component lead changes are now compared by identity, so user renames no longer trigger false change alerts.
Improved Anonymization: Post-anonymization activity by the same user is tracked normally, ensuring ongoing accountability while respecting erasure of historical data.
