ProjectClone v2.0.0

🎉 Release Highlights

Version 2.0.0 represents a complete modernization of ProjectClone with enhanced performance, new enterprise features, and improved user experience.

🚀 New Features

Enhanced Admin Dashboard

Advanced Scheme Management

For each scheme type, choose:
├── Copy from source (creates independent copy)
├── Use existing scheme (reuse from instance)
├── Apply system default (use Jira defaults)
└── Skip entirely (leave unconfigured)

Intelligent Conflict Resolution:
├── Automatic naming with project key suffix
├── Dependency validation and warnings
├── Preview mode to review changes
└── Rollback capability for recent operations

Real-time Progress Tracking

Template Library System

Save and reuse project configurations as templates:

• Template Creation: Save any cloned project as a reusable template
• Template Categories: Organize templates by department, project type, or use case
• Version Control: Maintain multiple versions of templates with change tracking
• Sharing & Permissions: Control who can use and modify templates
• Template Marketplace: Share templates across teams and departments

Component-Level Customization

⚠️ Upgrade Notes

Breaking Changes

Migration Process

During upgrade, ProjectClone will automatically:

1. Backup current configuration settings
2. Migrate user permissions to new model  
3. Update audit log format and structure
4. Preserve all operation history
5. Test migrated settings for compatibility
6. Generate migration report for review

Migration typically completes in 2-5 minutes.
No data loss occurs during this process.

Post-Upgrade Checklist

• Review Permissions: Verify user access levels are correct in the new admin dashboard
• Test Operations: Perform a test clone operation with a non-critical project
• Update Documentation: Review any internal procedures that reference the old interface
• Train Users: Introduce users to the new interface and features
• Configure New Features: Set up templates, naming conventions, and approval workflows
