| 686 | ||
| 687 | Currently L<JIRA::REST> requires Perl 5.10 and supports JIRA 7.0. | |
| 688 | ||
| 689 | We try to be compatible with the Perl native packages of the oldest L<Ubuntu | |
| 690 | LTS|https://www.ubuntu.com/info/release-end-of-life> and | |
| 691 | L<CentOS|https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product> Linux distributions still | |
| 692 | getting maintainance updates. | |

| 697 | | Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) | 5.18 | 2019-04 | | |
| 698 | | Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) | 5.22 | 2021-04 | | |
| 699 | | Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) | 5.26 | 2023-04 | | |
| 700 | | CentOS 6 | 5.10 | 2020-12 | | |
| 701 | | CentOS 7 | 5.16 | 2024-07 | | |

| 704 | As you can see, we're kept behind mostly by the slow pace of CentOS (actually, | |
| 705 | RHEL) releases. | |
| 706 | ||
| 707 | As for JIRA, the policy is very lax. I (the author) only test L<JIRA::REST> on | |
| 708 | the JIRA server installed in the company I work for, which is usually (but not | |
| 709 | always) at most one year older than the newest released version. I don't have | |
| 710 | yet an easy way to test it on different versions. | |
