Version 24.11.0

Release Date: November 2024

Bug Fixes

TicketIssueImpactResolution
NPT-608Comparison null reference with multi-item linksComparison view crashes when multi-item columns contain null valuesNull check added to comparison filtering
NPT-614Newly created tasks fail to linkFreshly created mitigation tasks cannot be linked in FMEA workflowsTask ID assignment timing corrected
NPT-615Module properties cached incorrectlyConfiguration changes not reflected until browser refreshCache invalidation added on config updates
NPT-604backLink parameter not processingCross-project linking with backLink parameter ignoredParameter parsing fixed in URL handler
Users on version 24.10.0 or earlier with FMEA workflows should upgrade to 24.11.0 to resolve the NPT-614 task linking issue.

Version 24.6.0

Release Date: June 2024

Bug Fixes

  • Duplicate Mitigation Task Error - Fixed critical bug causing automatic duplication of mitigation tasks in FMEA workflows. See Troubleshooting: Duplicate Mitigation Tasks for details.
  • Improved task creation validation
  • Enhanced task uniqueness checking

Version 24.5.0

Release Date: May 2024

Features

  • Enhanced timezone support for international date handling
  • Improved datetime calculation accuracy

Known Issues

Date Column Format Regression (Fixed in 24.6.0)Version 24.5.0 introduced a timezone fix that inadvertently breaks date columns with format property configuration. After upgrading to 24.5.0:
  • Date columns with format property cannot be saved
  • Users cannot enter dates directly in cells
  • Workaround: Enter dates as YYYY-MM-DD in cell input
  • Solution: Upgrade to 24.6.0 or remove format property temporarily
See Date Column Save Errors for affected configurations and recovery steps.

Version 24.0.0

Release Date: January 2024

Major Changes

  • Complete architecture refactor
  • New comparison engine for baseline analysis
  • Improved OData integration
  • Enhanced permission system

Compatibility Notes

  • Requires Polarion 2023.2 or later
  • Configuration format unchanged from 23.x
  • API endpoints backward compatible

Version 23.10.2

Release Date: October 2023

Bug Fixes

  • Various stability improvements
  • Performance enhancements for export operations

End of Support

Migration Guide

From 23.10.2 to 25.1.0

Preparation Steps:
  1. Backup all Polarion project data
  2. Review Polarion Version Compatibility to verify compatibility
  3. Export current RISKSHEET configuration using Configuration Editor
  4. Notify users of maintenance window (expect 30-60 minutes downtime)
Upgrade Process:
  1. Disable RISKSHEET widget on all pages (temporary)
  2. Install RISKSHEET 25.1.0 server component
  3. Clear browser cache
  4. Test RISKSHEET on staging environment with sample risksheet
  5. Verify comparison, export, and review workflows
  6. Re-enable RISKSHEET on production pages
  7. Notify users upgrade is complete
Validation:
  • Open existing risksheets and verify data integrity
  • Test comparison mode against baselines
  • Generate PDF export and validate formatting
  • Run review workflow with test items

From 24.x to 25.1.0

Preparation:
  1. Review release notes for 25.1.0
  2. Test on non-production risksheet first
  3. Plan 15-minute user notification window
Upgrade:
  1. Install RISKSHEET 25.1.0 server component
  2. Clear browser cache (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R)
  3. Reload risksheet page
  4. Verify grid performance and functionality
Rollback (if needed):
  • Revert to previous RISKSHEET version using server deployment
  • Clear browser cache again
  • No data loss occurs during rollback

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I skip versions during upgrade? A: Yes. You can upgrade directly from any supported version to the latest version. No intermediate steps required. Q: Will my risksheet data be lost during upgrade? A: No. Upgrades do not modify Polarion work item data. All risk items, configurations, and baselines remain intact. Q: Do I need to reconfigure RISKSHEET after upgrading? A: No. Configuration files are fully backward compatible. Existing settings automatically load in new versions. Q: How long does upgrade take? A: Typical upgrade takes 15-60 minutes depending on server size. Plan a maintenance window and notify users in advance. Q: What if upgrade fails? A: Rollback to the previous version using your deployment system. No data is lost. Clear browser cache and reload.
