which version of jira is stable in market right now?

[Surender Reddy]

Hi All,

            May i know the most stable version of JIRA Software (Server) we have in market now ?

We are planning to Upgrade from JIRA 7.3.3 to JIRA Software 7.11.0 and wish we Upgrade to the one which was more tested and affected with less Bugs.

I appreciate all your opinions and suggestions.

All of them.  Atlassian do not put "unstable" releases into the download list (they do release "early access", which you could call "unstable", but these are held separately).

I would tend not to go for a release with a .0 on the end because these are new to market and Atlassian can't test every possible combination that's out there, so the .0 releases may have some issues with some specific hardware/os/config setup.

But the answer to what's "stable" is "any version you can download".

There is also the Enterprise release, currently 7.6.latest, which will be supported and patched for a much longer time than other versions.e

All good with the answer but why would we prefer 7.6 when we have 7.12.3 in the market with lot new features . is there any problems or issues if we upgrade to latest version 7.12.3 . can you please let me know .

Because 7.6 is the enterprise release, so it's going to get updates at that version for a long time.  If you encounter problems in 7.12.3, and Atlassian fix them, they will go into 7.12.4 or later and you'll need to upgrade to get them.
