JFS 1.1pre7 Release Notes

This is a bug fix release.
Fixed:

Can't assign field security scheme to project in JIRA 4.0.2

JIRA 4.1.x Users - No need to upgrade!

Although this is a version 1.1 release, it does not support JIRA 4.2 and standard fields handling is disabled.
Both features will be introduced in 1.1beta1, which will be released soon.

Attention International Users

If you are using non-English language and your default operating system encoding is not UTF-8 , it is strongly recommended to set Java default encoding to UTF-8 . To do this: set Java property file.encoding to UTF8: -Dfile.encoding=UTF8.
You can find more info on how to set Java property for Tomcat installed as a Windows Service here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Setting+Properties+and+Options+on+Startup#SettingPropertiesandOptionsonStartup-TomcatinstalledasaWindowsService%3A
