This Sunday, 2015-01-17 both confluence and JIRA will be ugraded. During this upgrade both services will be moved to new servers that will hopefully help with some of the slowness that sometimes happens. This will allow us to fine tune the servers for better performance for each of the services. This should however not impact NCSA Open Source and you should still be able to access the services as https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/jira and https://opensouce.ncsa.illinois.edu/confluence.
This will upgrade JIRA to version 7.0.5 which is a major version jump, as always please let me know if anything does not work as expected. Confluence will be updated with a minor update to version 5.9.4.
