Version Highlights
Changes in DetailConfigurable Progress ColumnThe new Progress column supports multiple ways to calculate progress, such as:
To try the new functionality, click the arrow marker on the Progress column and play with possible configurations. Documentation: Progress Column Calculating Sum for Any Numeric FieldAny numeric field can now be aggregated up the structure, and the total value can be displayed for parent issues. Click the arrow marker on the numeric column and turn on Sum over Sub-Issues, or select the pre-configured totals column from the Add Column drop-down. Documentation: Field Columns Renaming Columns and New Column Configuration PanelEach column type now may have multiple customizable options, including column name. The column names and other options are parts of the view specification, which can be saved and shared as a view. To view and change column options, click the little arrow marker in the Structure widget header – it appears if you move mouse pointer over the column header. To accommodate the new configuration panel, we had to make certain changes to the already existing functionality:
Documentation: Customizing Columns New Column Extension APIUsing the newest Structure API, it's now possible to create your own plugin that would extend Structure by adding new column types.

Documentation: Simple, JQL, and S-JQL Search Turn Off Description in the Summary fieldYou can now turn off showing Description in the main Summary field – use the arrow marker for the column options. Documentation: Summary Column Editing Value in the Aggregate ColumnWhen a field column displays a total value for an issue (sum of a numeric or a time-tracking field over sub-issues), it's now possible to edit that issue's own value of that field in the usual way – by double-clicking or using keyboard to start editing a cell. This is a small convenience, which can save you from displaying two columns instead of one. Other Improvements and Notable Bugs Fixed

View Specification UpgradeIn Structure 2.5, we have changed how certain columns work. The TP column (type, priority) has become Icons Column, and Progress Column has been largely remade.

When you save changes to a view, the new view specification will refer to the new columns.
