# FOSSA September 2019 Product Release Notes

> Highlights from FOSSA's September 2019 release, including updates to JIRA integration, project addition enhancements, new reporting formats, and FOSSA-CLI improvements.

## Integrations:

**JIRA: Breaking Change, Update Required**

FOSSA’s Jira integration now supports connecting multiple Jira Sites to the same FOSSA instance. This change requires updates to your configurations within your [integration settings](https://app.fossa.com/account/settings/integrations/jira).

  ![FOSSA September 2019 Release Notes - Jira Integration](https://fossa.com/Jira-Settings.png)

Webhooks on Jira that send notifications to FOSSA will need to be reconfigured to include an authorization key. The new webhook URL can be found in Settings > Integrations > Jira. For more information on configuring webhooks, please see our [documentation](https://docs.fossa.com/docs/atlassian-jira#section-add-webhooks-to-jira). **If the webhooks are not updated, then exported issues that are closed on Jira will not be resolved on FOSSA.**

## Adding Projects

**[Archive Uploader](https://app.fossa.com/projects/import/upload)**

We’ve overhauled our archive uploader to improve both product stability and performance. Our investments in the archive uploader infrastructure not only improve analysis speed but also allow FOSSA to support much larger file sizes.

## Reporting

**New Reporting Format: SPDX**

[SPDX](https://fossa.com/blog/august-product-release-notes.md) is an industry-standard that makes reporting and communicating open source dependencies easier. We are excited to roll out SPDX to all our users. Contact us at [support@fossa.com](mailto:support@fossa.com) if you are interested in getting it activated for your account.

    Please contact [support@fossa.com](mailto:support@fossa.com) to activate SPDX reporting for your
    account

**New Report Data Available: Dependency Graphs for Provided Builds**

Understand how each open source component is brought into your product by including Dependency Paths in your reports. You can include dependency graphs by selecting _Customize Columns_ in the reporting view for each project.

## FOSSA-CLI

In addition to improving general stability and performance, we have made the following updates:

**RPM Support**

We now support integrating the FOSSA-CLI with projects using RPM as the package manager. Please check out [these docs](https://github.com/fossas/fossa-cli/blob/master/docs/README.md#fossa-cli-documentation) to get started.

**FOSSA Report Dependency Update**

The CLI command `fossa report dependencies` outputs a JSON report that now includes the open source component’s version and commit hash. This allows Golang dependencies to have their commit hashes explicitly defined in CLI reports.

**Python Support 2.0**

We have updated our Python analyzer to improve accuracy and performance.
