Hi Pedro, welcome to the Community!
We release major/minor versions sequentially, with bugfix versions made available for the most recent minor versions and for any Long Term Support versions (such as 7.13) which are still in maintenance. Given this, the release of 8.0.0 meant there would be no 7.14. I hope that sheds a little insight into our versioning scheme!
That being said, 7.13 is a Long Term Support Release, and I'd recommend Jira 8.5 as a version to look at upgrading to now if you prefer Long Term Support releases. Our release notes page has a good overview of versions including which ones are Long Term Support.
As previously announced on Community , the next Long Term Support version after that will be 8.13, and based on a targeted ~12 month release cadence for LTS versions, it may be released in October.
If you have specific concerns about upgrading, I'm happy to address them! I've just taken a peek at your account and from a licensing perspective, it looks like you're all set to go up to 8.5 now or even 8.13 when it is released. There are some breaking changes in the Java API with Jira 8, but this is only a consideration if you have custom-developed internal apps for Jira. Our marketplace partners have made changes to Marketplace apps where necessary to keep things compatible.
Cheers,
Daniel | Atlassian Team
