Important Upgrade Notes
Structure Backup is strongly recommended before the upgrade.
=20Also, after upgrade you may need to re-create GreenHopper synchronizer c= onfigurations (if using GreenHopper 5.8 or later) and revisit Sub-tasks syn= chronizer configurations - please read below.
Structure API is the biggest thing that we've worked on since version 0.= 4, and as of Structure version 1.3 (API versions 1.0.0 and 2.0.0), it's a b= ig window into the the structure data that lets other JIRA plugins and remo= te applications integrate with structure, read or update hierarchical issue= lists and extend Structure functionality.
=20If you are a developer, take a look at our Structure Developer's Guide.
=20We're constantly improving performance of our plugin, which is especiall= y important if you have lots of issues in a single structure. In this versi= on, we've made three different performance improvements which can lower dow= n the load time of a large structure three to ten times, depending on the c= ircumstances.
=20GreenHopper 5.8 and 5.8.1, released last week, replaced the old Rank fie= ld with new Global Rank field. Now the Global Rank in GreenHopper allows to= prioritize issues across multiple projects on the Rapid Board.
=20Updated version of the GreenHopper synchronizer in Structure 1.3 support= s the new Global Rank too, allowing you to select multiple projects in conf= iguration.

=20Sub-tasks synchronizer logic has been made less confusing. Now when the = synchronizer "sees" a sub-task at a wrong position in the structure, it wil= l move it to the right position under its parent task. (The synchronizer us= ed to move a sub-task only if it wasn't in the structure or was at the top = level, but not under another parent issue.)

=20This version of Structure supports JIRA 4.2 =E2=80=94 4.4.x. Note that t= here are separate downloadable files for JIRA 4.4.x, 4.3.x and 4.2.x.
= =20The plugin may be installed from the Plugin Exchange or = from the Administration | Plugins menu. Further informatio= n is available in the Administrator's Guide.
=20Migrating to version 1.3 from an earlier version involves automatic upgr= ade of the underlying database data, so it's a good idea to make database b= ackup. If you decide to downgrade back to 1.2 after upgrade, you'll need to= clear the database and restore from backup because 1.2 will likely not be = able to work with the upgraded database.
