Upgrade notes
Here’s some important information you should know about before upgrading.
Global deployment expiry
If you are updating to Bamboo 5.7 from 5.6 or earlier and you were previously using build expiry then the Global expiry page in Bamboo looks and works the same as it does in 5.6. In other words, you are able to expire builds but not deployments.
There is an option to enable deployment expiry however and selecting this option enables the new expiry features introduced in Bamboo 5.7.
Note that this may mean that deployment artifacts and deployment result logs that were previously not being removed will start to be removed. Most likely this is what you want but it's important to be aware of this change.
Note also that enabling deployment expiry is not reversible. If you enable deployment expiry you will be unable to go back to the legacy Bamboo 5.6 behavior. The legacy Bamboo 5.6 behavior for expiry is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
