Highlights of this Release

Improved custom fields handling

We have significantly improved custom fields handling:

Empty custom fields are displayed in the issue editor and it is possible to set their values directly from Eclipse.
Support for custom fields has been significantly extended. Here is the complete list of supported custom fields (display and edit mode):
- Free Text Field
- Text Field
- URL Field
- Date Picker (unset is not supported)
- Date Time (unset is not supported, minutes are not displayed)
- Number Field (unset is not supported)
- Multi User Picker
- User Picker
- Select List
- Radio Buttons
- Multi Select
- Multi Checkboxes
- Labels
- Group Picker
- Multi Group Picker
Several other issues related to custom fields have been fixed. Please see the complete list of fixes below.

Unset is not supported

Unset operation is not supported for Date Picker, Date Time and Number Field.
Once the value is set, you can change it, but is not possible to clear the value and make the field empty. That is the limitation of JIRA REST Client.
