Structure 3.0 Demo Server
A Different ExperienceStructure 3.0 is very different from previous versions of Structure. While the main concept – "structure" as a hierarchical list of things – remains, many things changed and a lot of features were added. We have put a lot of thought into expanding the scope of the product and rebuilt Structure almost from the ground up. After upgrading and finding your way around new user interface, you should be able to work with Structure 3.0 in the same way you worked with Structure 2.x. However, to take advantage of the new features such as Automation, some learning will be required. The Structure 3 Quick Start Guide is a great way to get started with the new features. Highlights
Take a look at the Structure 3 Quick Start Guide for more information about the new features. Supported JIRA VersionsStructure 3.0 supports JIRA versions from 6.3 to 7.1. Note that there are separate downloadable files for JIRA 6 and JIRA 7. All editions of JIRA (JIRA Core, JIRA Software, JIRA Service Desk) are supported. Compatibility IssuesOther JIRA PluginsIf you’re using a plugin that integrates with Structure 2.x, most likely it will not work with Structure 3.0. Here’s the suggested course of action:
REST APIREST APIs also have changed in Structure 3.0. If you have any reporting scripts that connect to Structure via REST, they most likely will stop working. At this moment, the new API is not published — please contact us at support@almworks.com and we’ll be happy to help you upgrade your scripts. Changes in APIIn Structure 3.0 we have made massive changes in the architecture of the product to accommodate the new features and lay groundwork for future expansion of the platform. Unfortunately, that means a lot of incompatible changes in the API. Most integrations with Structure 2.x will not work with Structure 3.0. The new Java and REST API will be published later, closer to Structure 3.1 release. The reason for that is that we’ll need to spend additional time after Structure 3.0 release to stabilize and clean the new APIs and provide sufficient documentation. Until the new stable API is released, we can provide information about the new API on individual basis. Please feel free to contact us at support@almworks.com if you’d like to integrate with Structure 3.0. DocumentationAt this time, the documentation for Structure 3.0 is in the works. We’ll release full documentation along with the final release of Structure 3. Please refer to the Structure 3 Quick Start Guide for a short introduction to Structure 3. Installation and UpgradeThis version is not published on the Atlassian Marketplace, you'll need to manually download and install it. Also, the data from Structure 2.x is not automatically transferred, so you'll need to manually upgrade it.
DowngradingIf you decide to downgrade to an earlier version of Structure, you can do so, but any changes made in Structure 3.0 will not be transferred to the previous version. Feedback Is WelcomePlease let us know what you think about the new Structure! We value your feedback very much and we still have time to make some final changes before official Structure 3.0 release.
