The 2020.002 release github.com/overbaard/overbaa… allows an 'Overbaard Admins' group to allow more people to edit board configs. See section 4 of overbaard.github.io/docs/adm… for more details.
The start of a little something to enable cross repository CI on GitHub Actions without releases of each consumed component github.com/overbaard/multi-r… Still a little rough around the edges but we hope to start using it for @WildFlyAS soon. My github.com/kabir/maven-snaps… has an example

Our releases are called BetaX while having been used in production for a long time. I'd like to come up with a new versioning scheme that is more representative for the maturity of the project. Do people prefer (or care): - major.minor.micro - major.minor - <YEAR>.<incremental>

Overbård 1.0.0.Beta9 is out. Thanks to github.com/akurdyukov for reporting problems with Postgresql. Should be fixed now!

New Overbård release! Get it from github.com/overbaard/overbaa… Highlights: * Current User filter for 'user' custom fields * Collapse columns in Rank View (issues in the collapsed/grey states are not shown in the list): See it in action at overbaard.github.io/demo/#/b…

The next step will be to untangle the Jira plugin stuff from the core back-end code and look into supporting Jira Cloud. Once that is done, I think we have a nice opportunity to look into pulling data from other sources such as GitHub issues and so on
Overbård has now been refactored to support both Jira 7 and Jira 8! Grab it from github.com/overbaard/overbaa…. The versioning scheme is overbaard-jira-plugin-<tgt-jira-version>-<plugin-version>.jar so overbaard-jira-plugin-8-1.0.0.Beta6.jar targets Jira 8.

Dual Overbård Jira 7 and Jira 8 support working locally! The WIP is in github.com/overbaard/overbaa… Will release once the guides and other things have been updated.

Started refactoring the back-end to support both Jira 7 and 8 (we still only support Jira 7). This is giving me ideas for a standalone mode where you can run Overbård on your own server when you don't have admin rights to install the Overbård plugin into your Jira instance

Finally got around to adding a long missing piece. History of board configurations for those cases when your hands work quicker than your mind, so you can recover badly changed, accidentally deleted configs. overbaard.github.io/docs/adm…

Although we've been quiet for a while (working on other stuff) we have plenty of stuff in the works, which should be coming soon(ish). If you have any ideas feel free to comment on the issues in github.com/overbaard/overbaa… (or add new ones)

Blog post "Why We Wrote Overbård" overbaard.github.io/2019/02/… giving some background for why Overbård provides a better Agile experience in Jira! And a little animation for those who have not viewed our demo at overbaard.github.io/demo
Watch our demo at overbaard.github.io/demo and grab our first downloadable Beta release at github.com/overbaard/overbaa…. You can now install it into your Jira instance without needing to build it yourself!

We're happy to present you with the initial read-only demo instance of Overbård! Evaluate the UI without needing to install it into Jira at overbaard.github.io/ob-demo. More advanced features and links from the docs to follow.

Making a vague start on a read-only demo site that can be used to show off new features for people to see before needing to install in Jira

It is pronounced 'overboard'
