Jira velocity release notes - linked issues, attachment and release date var - jira

maybe you guys can help me.
I would like to edit the release notes and started to build my own vm file. So far so good.
Unfortunately I still can't find any reasonable documentation for the single possible VTL variables. Is there any at all?
I could only find information about a few variables here in the forum:
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Jira-Release-Notes-Template-Documentation/qaq-p/45533 where i asked this question, too.
Or maybe you can help me.
I still need the following information, which I want to display in my releasenotes.vm file:
the release date
the individual links on the respective issue
And if possible, links to the attachments on the respective issue.
You would help me a lot with this.
Thank you very much.

Building a Firefox add on

after I managed to create an add on for Chrome browser (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13686561/chrome-addon-with-my-server-interaction),
my next target is to do the same for Firefox.
I see this is harder to do or there arent many good tutorials for begginers.
What Im asking is good step by step tutorials in order to understand the workflow for FF.
Thank you again for reading me!
Take a look to Add-on SDK. Here the documentation, and you can also download it from Github.
I would say that the Getting Started section of Add-on SDK docs is a good place to start your reading.
You can also join the IRC channel #jetpack on irc.mozilla.org and ask help directly to the SDK team, if you have any doubt!

Multiple Documentation Windows Xcode

Does anyone know how to open multiple documentation windows in Xcode? I feel like this is a silly question because something as basic as this should be included in Xcode, but I just can't seem to figure out how to enable this feature.
Thanks.
No exact answer, but you might consider using AppKiDo as additional documentation browser.

Embed Jira Issue Details in Connfluence page

I am currently looking for a way to integrate detail views of selected Jira Issues into a Conflluennce page. It seems it is not a problem at all to embed a list of Issues into confluence, but I am looking for a way to integrate the detail-view of a single Jira Issue into a Conflluence page.
The reason I need this, is that I am currently defining a workflow for formmally planning a Project. Currently I export the Issues of a Project version to Word and then update the resulting document to become a formal specification document. I would now like to do this in Confuence.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Chris
This is available in the latest Confluence version, 3.5. Here's the documentation.
Well I solved my problem by creating my own confluence macro that accesses Jira using the REST interface. Works like a charm. If I find the time, I'll try to make it generally available (currently It's extremely tied to our configuration (hard-coded urls and credentials) Will be looking forward to utilizing the trusted communication features in the future.

Ruby on RAils (rubyweaver) dreamweaver cs5 integrations

I saw there is an dreamweaver called rubyweaver. Does anyone know of plans to upgrade that to CS5? anyone hear interested in doing this? It would be helpful for newbies like me to have some Wysiwyg editing. Any other software offer that for ruby on rails?
According to the Rubyweaver site they are not offering CS5 support due to not having a developer that can perform the update work for the extension. This appears to be due to the site that is offering the download of Rubyweaver is not the same people that developed the original extension.
You may want to try the extension out, some of the functionality of it may work in CS5. The site doesn't list any specific CS5 issues on it Known Issues page.
Yes it is true that we do not currently have a developer for this extension as of yet. We have a few potential prospects that we are currently having talks with. The Original Creator of the extension is Rob Cameron of RidingTheClutch.com. Jason Gills took over the IDE and updated it to it's latest state.
We took over the RubyWeaver IDE from the Jason Gills as he was not able to provide the extension or keep up with the development of RubyWeaver, so we got with Jason and decided to keep this extension available to everyone.
We hope to be offering an updated version as soon as we find a coder.
I hope this information helps out.
Thank You,
John

How to backup issues list from Bitbucket?

With issues gathering on bitbucket, I'd like to have a way to gather and back them up in the event that I need an offline copy, or no longer use Bitbucket, or something else. The site doesn't offer this service. Is there an alternative mechanism I can use?
From now on you can Import/Export your Issues:
Goto: -> Administration -> Import/Export
Youtube-Video: Bitbucket Issue Export
You can get your issues via the Bitbucket API.
Here is an example URL to get the issues for one of my projects:
https://api.bitbucket.org/1.0/repositories/christianspecht/bitbucket-backup/issues/
However, this returns a list of the issues in JSON format.
I doubt that you can do anything useful with a list of issues in JSON, but I don't know if there's a better file format for issues.
I just asked exactly that here on StackOverflow, because I'm dealing with the same thing at the moment:
Is there a standard file format for exporting issues from an issue tracker?
Full disclosure I am the author of Issue2Markdown because I really needed it.
As mentioned previously you can export your issues from Bitbucket project by going to Settings->Issues->Import & Export and then downloading the resultant ZIP file.
Inside that ZIP file, you will find JSON file and attachments archive. You can import those into some other issue repository. Or if you are like me you may be working with a remote team that is reluctant to use an issue tracker and would like to be able to read a human-readable version of the issues.
That is where Issue2Markdown comes in. You can use that to render your issues as a single Markdown document. You can find pre-built binaries for Linux, Windows, and MacOS under releases.
I hope that helps the next person who could not find the solution.
There doesn't currently appear to be any way to export your issues :(
You could export issues from settings in the repository. Then download the and extract the zip file, that would give you a json that you just could parse any way you prefer
I wrote a small python script to convert issues json file to excel that you can find it here. Hope it gives you some ideas:
