This is a patch release based on Structure 5.6.2. It provides performance improvements for Jira 8+ and the Portfolio Extender.
Upgrade is recommended for all customers using Structure 5.6.x.
If your Jira server does not have Structure yet, the installation is simple:
catalina.out
or jira-application.log
for log messages from Structure.If you're upgrading from version 2.11.2 or earlier, please read Structure 3.0.0 Release Notes.
The upgrade procedure for versions 3.x to 5.6 is simple:
Install the new version of the plugin.
catalina.out
or jira-application.log
for warnings or errors.Structure 5.6.3 significantly increases Lucene index reading operation performance on Jira 8+. The new version of Lucene in Jira 8 introduced major changes to index data structures, which made its traditional read APIs significantly slower on large amounts of data. Structure 5.6.3 compensates for this, providing overall performance on Jira 8.x comparable with Jira 7.x, or even faster. We have also improved the performance of the Portfolio children extender, which now batches Lucene queries in some cases and should work faster on Jira 8+. We advise you to run Structure 5.6.3 tests on your slowest structures pre-update (for example, structures using the Child Issues (Portfolio) Extender) and compare the new times against your current Structure version.
