After over 13 months of development, 4 months of beta and nearly 1000 resolved JIRA
issues, the biggest release in Atlassian
history is finally here: JIRA
4 is now available!
Best of all, every feature of JIRA 4 and GreenHopper 4 is now available to every user
with new user-based licensing starting at $10
each for 10 users. No more Standard and Professional editions, every
download of JIRA 4 has Enterprise functionality. You can learn more
about the new user-based
JIRA pricing here
JIRA 4 introduces countless new features including a fresh new UI,
completely overhauled dashboards with OpenSocial gadgets and JQL --
which is, simply put, the best way to search in an issue tracker.

 Today we're happy to announce the Atlassian
Starter Pack for six of our tools. Now, you can buy starter licenses for JIRA,
Confluence,
GreenHopper,
FishEye,
Bamboo
and
Crowd
for $10 each. The $10 licenses are new to our pricing structure. In other words,
there is no expiry date in sight to purchase these licenses.
You may recall that last April we gave away $5/5 user licenses of
JIRA and Confluence for small teams with all proceeds going to Room
to Read.
The program was a roaring success. We raised over $110,000 for Room to
Read, concentrating our donation in Cambodia to build 16 libraries,
provide a year of education to 68 girls and publish one Khmer Language
Storybook. Read on

Man, we had fun with this one. Our Cash
for Clunkers program ran for only three short weeks, but we accepted 427 clunker
trade-ins, and there were some doozies. So many in fact that we've decided
to add a few extra awards, in addition to the $4,000 grand prize
for the best trade-in. We're giving a special edition JIRA 4 t-shirt to
the three additional award winners.
So, without further adieu, we bring you the Cash for Clunkers Awards
Ceremony. Cue drum roll...

A while ago, in a land down under, some Atlassians gathered round a
table and a keg of ale to discuss a perilous quest. In the course of
time, Here
Be Dragons was born.
The quest? It's the task of installing and setting up a suite of
Atlassian applications so that they share information and provide an
awesome, integrated experience. Now that doesn't sound so hard, does it?
Actually, it is quite onerous. (Feel free to substitute
your own words there, if those are not quite descriptive enough.) We
know it's hard and we want to make it easier. So the Atlassians of the
Round Table announced the Here
Be Dragons quest.
