Navigation refresh to align with Jira's navigation redesign​

This release refreshes Limbr Reports' navigation to complement Jira's recent switch from sidebar navigation to top navigation. Like other Marketplace apps, Limbr Reports is now accessed from the Apps dropdown, and the app's menu item has been renamed from "Reports" to "Limbr Reports" for clarity.

The Apps dropdown is now the only entry point to Limbr Reports. Previously, Jira's sidebar included entry points for View reports, Create a report and Manage categories. These functions are now available on the main Reports screen via the "Create report" button and the "More actions" menu beside it. Breadcrumbs have been added to the header to improve navigation between screens.

These changes also much improve the navigational responsiveness of the app. While Limbr Reports has always been a single-page application (SPA), navigating between screens using Jira's sidebar forced a full refresh of the app's container meaning the app needed to completely reinitialize. With this release, all navigation happens within the app container and transitions between screens should be much snappier. The app is also able to better respect the browser history, meaning the browser's back/forward buttons should behave as expected.

Report permalinks​

This release introduces the ability for users to copy a permalink to a specific report, allowing the report to be accessed directly in a new browser tab, saved as a browser bookmark, etc. To copy the permalink to your clipboard, simply open the report and click the link icon next to the report name in the heading.
