Retiring IE11 support for Jira Align products

[#1]

In 2015 Microsoft released Edge as the browser to supersede Internet Explorer (IE). Since then IE has not received major updates, or added support for many modern web standards. In early 2019, Microsoft discouraged the use of Internet Explorer as a default browser, and we’ve seen a decrease in IE11 usage across since then.

To allow us to continue to take advantage of modern web standards to deliver improved functionality and the best possible user experience across all of our products, we have decided to end support for IE11.

What does end of support for IE11 mean?

End of support means we will not fix bugs that are specific to IE11, and will begin to introduce features that aren't compatible with this browser.

When is this happening?

• For cloud versions of Jira Align, support will end with the release on September 26, 2020.

• For the on-premise version of Jira Align, support will end the release on September 30, 2020.

What this means for you

In preparation for the end of support dates, we recommend switching to one of our supported browsers, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari.
