For behind-the-scenes information about the Bamboo Specs library, see our detailed reference documentation.
Support for pull requests
Starting from version 6.0, Bamboo can create plan branches whenever a pull request is created. Create plan branch when ready to share your work with teammates and the CI system. Bamboo will detect new pull requests and create a plan branch.
Pull requests join the branch status page
In Bamboo 6.0, the branch status page gives you even more insight into your environment with a new section showing pull requests for the selected VCS branch. To learn more, see Using the branch status page.
Fastlane and Xcode support
