Minor bug fixes for the data loader.
We are updating our third-party libraries and/or their libraries to stay ahead of security vulnerabilities.
We have updated our EAP page to remove the option for the legacy header. All users should now be using the new header experience.
We fixed an issue of duplicates in data loading process caused by having multiple statuses with the same name.
The legacy loaders: Load a board, Load a filter and Load a project are no longer available.
This release fixes 2 issues related to the Blocked days calculation and the new data loading experience (the legacy data loaders were not affected by these):
In internationalized Jira instances - the flagged field was not detected properly.
In some cases, the blocked days calculation was off by 1 day if the jira issue was currently ‘Flagged’.
It also includes fixes for:
Hidden statuses bug, in some cases Jira statuses were not available to be mapped to ActionableAgile workflow stages.
Missing statuses in the mapping stage on non-English boards
We fixed the misalignment issue from the image export of the dashboard.
We moved the legacy loaders into a flyout option menu to reduce usage of these options and encourage usage of the new loader. This is the final step before removing them.
We removed Portfolio Forecaster from ActionableAgile (see unbundling documentationfor information on how current customers can get promo codes)
When you load the app from the reports area of a project you now get the new header. Please note the reports link will be phased out soon as you can access the app from the top nav of Jira and the project sidebar.

Added a configuration option for you to choose default data to load. Currently, there are two choices: Example data or Last Loaded Data. This is stored in Jira user properties and not in your browser storage any longer. When your last loaded data loads it will go fetch the latest updates.
Fixed a bug in the color palettes where the white wasn’t truly white, reducing the contrast.
We improved the readability of text in the dialog boxes
We fixed a bug where migrated data had unexpected values in the flagged field. This is only fixed in the new header data loader.
We have updated the Early Access Program navigation link to say Lab Control Room. This points to an updated page that has a place where users can toggle Beta features on and off as well as EAP features.
We have moved the new header from EAP to BETA. User messaging will go out soon and the EAP label next to the logo will change to BETA as well.
We streamlined the color palette options available in the Aging Work In Progress and Heat Map charts. We now have 4 that are all tested for accessibility with color-blindness.
The chart dropdown is in a more user-friendly order with the 4 main flow metrics charts at the top.
We’ve fixed a bug in which dot colors weren’t being saved when you returned to your saved data sets.
