JIRA 4 Beta 3 and SharePoint

Today I installed and configured JIRA 4 Beta 3 in my local PC to check if the product developed by us works as expected with the new version of JIRA 4 Beta 3 API Web Service.

Installation and setting up of JIRA 4 Beta 3 doesn't trouble me much, then I proceed with testing of our product abd it works perfectly without the need for code changes.

So I investigated further the Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) for JIRA 4 Beta 3 and compared to previous version of JIRA 3.13.4 and 3.13.5. It turned out there are total of 8 new methods that have been added with this new version of JIRA 4 Beta 3 API Web Service, these includes:

  1. deleteProjectAvatar ( )
  2. getIssuesFromJqlSearch ( )
  3. getProjectAvatar ( )
  4. getProjectAvatars ( )
  5. getResolutionDateById ( )
  6. getResolutionDateByKey ( )
  7. setNewProjectAvatar ( )
  8. setProjectAvatar ( )

In  JIRA 3.13.4 and 3.13.5, there are total of 100 methods exposed by JIRA API Web Service - based on my initial investigation, none of existing methods are deprecated or updated in JIRA 4 Beta 3 (Don't count on this, let wait until Atlassian release a final documentation on JIRA API Web Service)
