If upgrading from a previous version of JIRA please pay attention to the Upgrade Guide of the version you are upgrading to, and any version of JIRA that you are 'skipping' during the upgrade.
- JIRA 4.3 Release Notes — Identity management comes of age in JIRA 4.3, with complete LDAP integration. JIRA 4.3 also includes the Universal Plugin Manager for easier management of plugins, and a new data importer for easier migration from your old systems. Additionally, a raft of new JQL functions give you many powerful new searching options, such as the ability to search an issue's change history.
- JIRA 4.2 Release Notes — JIRA 4.2 gives you a few extra minutes of precious time every day, by providing the ability to triage issues directly from the Issue Navigator without you having to open each issue. For the mouse-averse, the new 'Operations Dialog' box provides access to all menu options via the keyboard.
- JIRA 4.1 Release Notes — This release makes your JIRA experience easier and more convenient than ever. The issue UI has been redesigned for a simpler, friendlier experience, and keyboard shortcuts have been streamlined. Issues can now be actioned directly from your dashboard via a handy dropdown in the gadgets. Each issue's attachments are now displayed in an image gallery, and can all be downloaded to a single ZIP file with just one click.
- JIRA 4.0 Release Notes — We have improved the UI to provide contextual awareness, improving the navigation and usability with features like activity streams and issue history. We have also added the most powerful searching capabilities ever seen in a bug tracker, called JIRA Query Language (JQL). The simple auto-complete entry system makes it incredibly easy for any user to create sophisticated queries.

- JIRA 3.12 Release Notes — JIRA 3.12 provides a number of enhancements for the upcoming JIRA Studio. Because some of these enhancements may be of benefit to you, we have decided to provide them as a public release rather than making you wait until JIRA 4.0.
