Add a What's New page for all users and turn Upcoming changes into a docs link

Description

Problem

Approval Path users cannot see in the app what changed in recent releases. Change information is only on the "Upcoming changes" page, which only admins can see. That page shows the documentation in a frame inside the app instead of taking the user to the full documentation page.

Change

Acceptance criteria

  • A user without admin permissions sees "What's New" as the last item of the personal section of the global view menu, in Jira and in Confluence.

  • "What's New" opens the What's New page for the current product (Jira or Confluence) in a new browser tab.

  • "Upcoming changes" opens the Upcoming Changes page for the current product in a new browser tab and no longer shows the documentation in a frame inside the app.

  • A user without admin permissions still does not see "Upcoming changes".

Implementation notes

  • Admins also see "What's New" as the last item of their personal section.

  • Both items show an external-link icon after the label, since they open a new tab.

  • The frame permissions for the documentation site are removed from the app manifest (they were only needed for the old embedded page).

Manual tester notes

  • Jira and Confluence, as a non-admin: "What's New" is the last item of the Personal section with the NEW icon, and opens that product's What's New page in a new tab. There is no "Upcoming changes" item.

  • As an admin: "What's New" is also last in Personal; "Upcoming changes" opens that product's Upcoming Changes page in a new tab, without an embedded frame in the app.

  • The Jira app opens the Jira documentation pages and the Confluence app the Confluence ones; neither menu mentions the other product.
