This is a release addressing few issues reported by users and improving overall user experience.

• [feature] Added locale support. By default, new export configurations will pick up locale from your Jira profile. You can change it to whatever you like in the "Format" tab of export config settings. Locale will affect how dates and numbers are formatted.
• [feature] Reorganised settings for export configurations (they're now grouped in 3 tabs: Data, Format, CSV specific settings).
• [feature] You can now live preview raw JSON format too (apart from simplified JSON).
• [feature] You can not reorder fields which were previously locked in place: "Key", "Created" and 4 fields added when exporting history: "As Of", "Changed Fields", "Change Author" and "Time to Next Change".
• [feature] Option to add empty line after every issue when exporting history of changes.
• [change] JSON export - fields which are computed (i.e. not received directly from Jira) are now prefixed with "ae_". There are currently 4 of them: "ae_asOf", "ae_changedFields", "ae_changeAuthor", "ae_timeToNextChange"
• [change] The details in the dashboard list of export configs now shows if the history is exports, and what locale the export uses

Highlights

We have added the ability to use SendGrid as an email provider. This way you can start sending reports using your email service which is useful if you want emails coming from your domain.

1.3.1-AC (31st May 2023)

We're continuing to work on improving Scheduled Exports based on the feedback from our lovely customers!

• as usual, a host of other smaller improvements

1.3.0-AC (18th May 2023)

This is a major release with several new features.

The most notable one is ability to schedule recurring exports.

You can still use Advanced Export as before, for exporting directly via browser (in which case they're generated on the fly, in the browser), however we find scheduling recurrent exports just so much more convenient!

Highlights

• [feature] Added Dashboard where you can create/view/edit or schedule defined exports.
• [feature] Ability to schedule recurrent exports (daily, weekly on specified day of the week, monthly, yearly).
• [fix] Fixed error retrieving saved exports when page left open for a long time (error 401 caused by expiring Jira security token).
• [fix] Other minor fixes and improvements.

2.0.6

Visual and usability improvements.

Highlights

• [feature] Visual changes to the export creation page. Download/Schedule buttons are now at the bottom.
• [improvement] Warn when leaving the export screen if there are unsaved changes.
• [fix] Fixed issues when Excel export would fail because a cell contains more than 32767 characters (that's an Excel limitation). We truncate the cell content to 32767 characters.
• [fix] Other minor fixes and improvements.
