JIRA 5 includes several new features to improve the user experience for end users, administrators, and plugin developers. For end users, it features quick create and edit, rapid issue creation, autocomplete assignees, and improved search capabilities. Administrators gain more dialog customization and email improvements. Plugin developers benefit from an upgraded Lucene, REST API, and new persistence library. A new Rapid Board feature allows creating kanban-style boards based on JQL filters and swimlanes for multi-project planning and task management. Scrum board functionality is currently in labs.
