JIRA v6.3.8, JIRA Agile v6.6.13
1. Go to project Overview>Versions (or project Administration>Versions) and observe a release date for certain version (in my example on the screenshot1.jpg it will be 22/Jan/15)
2. Go to appropriate Agile board where this release will be represented, expand versions from the left, and observe the date of the same release
—
Release date will be shown one day back (in my example on the second screenshot2.jpg it will be Release Date: 21/Jan/15)
Steps to Reproduce
We simply need to make JIRA's "Default user time zone" mismatch with Java's recognized "System Default". Let's assume the current Java "System Default" is: America/Los_Angeles (GMT -7)
Reproduce 1
- Create a new Agile board, using the Sample Scrum Project
- This will automatically include versions with release dates
- Within JIRA, modify JIRA Administration > System > General Configuration > Default user time zone
- Change the region to "Australia" and "GMT +8"
- Now compare the version dates on the Agile Board vs. the Project administration page - notice that they are a day off
Reproduce 2
- Modify the JVM parameters to include: -Duser.timezone=Australia/Perth
- Restart JIRA and compare versions
Workaround
Ensure that both "Default user time zone" and JVM timezone match
