What major changes are coming in JIRA 7?

[Borek Bernard]

In this blog post about the first EAP release of JIRA 7, it is stated that "JIRA 7 is the biggest JIRA release ever". What makes it so? Is it feature-wise or are they just changing a lot of code internally? I haven't found many details about the 7 release yet.

Well the "applications" thing sounds interesting. Hopefully that will make the core smaller and much more performant :)
