Performance Improvements to Data Migration
This requires the installation of Jira Integration for Jenkins version 3.4.0
This release includes an effort to improve the performance of data migration when upgrading from a pre 3.x version of the app.
Try the migration out on a staging environment and play around with the jenkins.connector.migrator.threads system property. By default this is set to 10, but depending on your database system and the up time requirements of Jira during the migration, you may opt to increase this number to see if the migration is executed in less time.The migration code is limited to the capabilities of the Active Objects framework used by Jira. The transaction context with some data systems is not shared between threads, in this case, the add-on will handle the migration within a single thread and will thus take longer to complete.
3.5.0
-
Improved Build Completed Notifications Handling
This requires the installation of Jira Integration for Jenkins version 3.4.0
Build completed notifications handling has been improved to only include Jenkins jobs that either own the build itself, or are a parent of the job owning the build that completed. This should reduce the load the add-on generated on your Jenkins instance.

New Data Model
This release brings a new data structure to better support storing data from Jenkins Site, Job and Build. During the installation the add-on will take care of upgrading the data structure. At no point will the add-on delete existing data, all data in copied to the new structure leaving the old structure unchanged!
Due to the new data model, upgrades can take a some time to complete. Since this is highly dependent on the data present in the old model, it is advised to copy the data from production to a testing or staging environment to perform the upgrade there first to see what the impact will be on production. -
JWT based Sync-Token
Sync-Token is required to securely communicate with the Jenkins plug-in version 3.0.0 and newer.
