HAPI Changelog

Compatibility policy

We will try to maintain HAPI compatibility between releases. Unfortunately, we can't promise never to change HAPI—such a promise does not align with the key goal of being compatible with the Jira API. If the Jira API changes substantially, e.g. in Jira 10, HAPI may need to change too.

Breaking changes policy

HAPI is a new API, therefore breaking changes may need to be introduced as we respond to feedback from our customers. We will endeavour to avoid making breaking changes if at all possible, if such changes are introduced they will be communicated via this changelog and in release notes.

In future a more rigid breaking change policy may be introduced, after responding to initial feedback from customers.

Changelog

8.0.0

Breaking change related to retrieving the customer request type

You can now retrieve more properties of a request type.

We changed the return type for getRequestType() on Issue to return a com.atlassian.servicedesk.api.requesttype.RequestType rather than a com.atlassian.servicedesk.api.request.type.CustomerRequestType.

The previous object did not allow users to retrieve properties of the request type, such as the name.  Check out the documentation for retrieving the customer request type for more information.

We made this breaking change instead of introducing a new method because our analytics showed limited use of this method.
