This table displays the version of Requirement Yogi to use with the version of Confluence and Jira.

Our guideline: We aim to support In the past, we’ve supported LTS versions of Confluence and Jira for 2 years (two LTS versions). In 2024, we may reduce to one LTS version and require Java 17, to help us with upgrade challenges (including: Offering Java 17 for our employees, supporting Confluence 9.0, using more modern libraries, and removing libraries which are now supported natively by Java). As seen in the table below, we’ve made our best to limit the impact.

[2]As an exception, we are expecting to shorten the duration of the support for Confluence 7.19 (1.5 75 instead of 2 years), and require Confluence 8.5 sooner than expected, because of difficult API changes coming up in Confluence 8.7, 8.8 and 9.0.
