"All Plans"

The all build plans list is now slicker and grouped hierarchically by project. Collapse those projects you are not concerned about. Bamboo even remembers which ones you have collapsed.

"Current Activity"

See what's building on your Bamboo instance with "Current Activity" tab. It also shows a handy list of those build plans which recently completed a build.

All the portlets on the dashboard are also dynamic - see your build status icons, build progress bars, build completed lists on the fly.

Dynamic Updates

Getting sick of refreshing the screen to see the status of your build? Now, the latest status bar in the top right corner will always be up-to-date, without interfering with what you are doing.

JIRA portlets

Included with this release is a plugin for JIRA. This plugin allows you to put Bamboo portlets on your JIRA dashboard so you can better monitor your build plans.

There are two portlet types available, Bamboo Status and Bamboo Plan Summary.

Bamboo Status

This will display the current status of build plans in a list format. You can display all of the plans or just your favourites.

Bamboo Plan Summary

This will display a graphical summary of a specific build plan. You can also filter the build results to be shown in the graphs, just as you can in Bamboo. The two types of graphs are

Build Duration & Number of Failures per build
% Successful Builds & Average Duration per Time Period.

Talk to Bamboo via IM

Bamboo Release 1.0 - RC1 also introduces a new innovative way for you to interact with Bamboo - via IM. You can respond to Bamboo's IM notification message with commands to comment or label a build result.

Usage:

comment [build key] <comment message>
label [build key] <labels>

Entering a build key is optional. If none is specified, Bamboo will look up the last time it corresponded with you and the build that was in context. The context gets updated when either you specify a build key in your command, or when Bamboo sends you a notification about a particular build.
