In March 2007 the Atlassian community created two suggestion tickets to Atlassian that there is a need for change logs when users edit the comments field.

Atlassian are raising the prices for their cloud services on October 12th, which is perfectly ok. What is a bit strange though is that they for some reason seem to purposely try to hide just how much they are raising the prices. It does not say in the email, and the link takes you to the FAQ rather than the price list. A price list that only have the new prices and not the old for comparison. It is a bit odd. This seems to become a norm for Atlassian lately, to hide information and prevent
