Notes about Confluence 10 and Jira 11

Please use our specific builds

Given the lack of adoption of Confluence 10 and Jira 11, we publish specific builds every few releases only.

Context

Confluence 10 and Jira 11 was supposed to be a high-risk major release: The JDK 21 has changed base package names, which has impacts on practically every class. Atlassian has coordinated the update with the vendors, while taking this opportunity to perform a huge library upgrade.

In reality, all our apps seem to work well. No customer feedback for the first 3 months, and extremely low adoption after Atlassian announced the EOL of Data Center.

Risk assessment

  • All our features work well in Confluence 10 and Jira 11, as far as we know,

  • We expect unexpected issues,

  • We expect that some customers will not be able to find compatible versions of other plugins.

Our assumption is that most customers will stay on Confluence 9.2 LTS.

What we ask from customers

  • important Please test the upgrade on a staging instance,

  • important Please ensure all apps on your instance have a version available,

  • important Please be patient and tell us each issue. We’re prepared to be responsive, give us the opportunity to demonstrate it. If you are not patient, then please see the section “Our recommendation for conservative customers”.

Specific features for Confluence 10 or Jira 11

  • The JQL functions in Jira 11 have been removed in favor of the simple = method. See JQL Syntax.

  • There is no other change, we haven’t removed other deprecated features. Indexing V1 is still there.

Our support policy

We support LTS versions of Confluence for 2 years, which means:

  • Confluence 8.5 is not supported,

  • Confluence 9.2 will be supported until December 2026,

  • Confluence 10.0 started support in August 2025,

  • Confluence 10.2 will probably be LTS, published in December 2025 and supported until December 2027.

See our Compatibility matrix for version details.

Our recommendation for conservative customers

  • If you are still on Confluence 8.5, upgrade to Confluence 9.2 LTS,

  • Only very early adopters will upgrade to Confluence 10 / Jira 11.

  • Given the announcement of the EOL of Data Center by Atlassian, most customers seem to intend to stay on Confluence 9.2 LTS at this time.
