An Early Access Program (EAP) release is a public development release leading up to the official release of a Jira version. Development releases are a snapshot of our work in progress, primarily focused on allowing Jira users to see the new features in advance and provide us with some useful feedback. It also gives app developers an opportunity to test and fix their apps in advance of an official release.

EAP releases, which include more mature Beta and Release Candidate (RC) builds are available for download and their release notes are listed on this page.

Note, Beta and Release Candidate builds generally do not introduce new changes, and provide bug fixes and tweaks to features introduced in earlier EAP releases instead.

EAP releases can include changes like:

  • Changes to our APIs
  • Database changes
  • Changes to Jira bundled apps and libraries
  • Changes in our supported platforms
