How do I best migrate my historical data to GreenHopper 6?

[Will Harris]

I've been using GH 5 for a while now, and have all my previous sprints organized based on the fixVersion. Now with GH 6 this no longer seems to be used (except in classic views).

This means all my historical data is no longer available in the UI. Is there a good way to get this data into the new system, or will I have to recreate all my sprints manually and do a bunch of filtering to pick out the stories and manually add them to the appropriate sprint?

That is what the documentation says about it right now:

"Contexts are replaced by boards; there is no migration path today so if you are already using GreenHopper then you will need to recreate these from scratch."

Thanks for the info. I have to be honest, I think this is pretty weak on Atlassian's part.

In the comments there are some more pertinent remarks directly related to my question about migrating sprint data (as opposed to context data):
