Highlights
Enhanced plan branch configuration
Starting from version 7.0, Bamboo allows for custom plan branch configuration. What does it mean in practice? It means that from now on, you plan branch configuration will have some options that previously (before Bamboo 7.0) were available for master branch configuration only e.g. Triggers, Stages or Jobs. From now on, you won't have to stick with the master branch configuration when developing your feature branches anymore. Instead you'll able to create your custom Bamboo Specs configuration regardless of configuration on master. All your feature branches, release branches, and unstable branches with your quirky code will be able to coexist in a happy mixture. Read more about it in Enhanced plan branch configuration.
It's personal now
Tired of how Bamboo looks? Now, you can change the color of the Bamboo header, introduce your own custom logo, and change the favicon. This can come in handy if you use multiple Bamboo instances and you want to color-code them for easier navigation, you want to brand your Bamboo instance, or simply you just feel like making your Bamboo pink today. For more information on how to configure your custom Bamboo look, see Customizing Bamboo headers.
Platform upgrade
Atlassian Platform is a set of components upon which we build our products. In Bamboo 7.0, we're bumping up the Atlassian Platform version to 5 to benefit from the most up-to-date libraries and even better security. For the detailed list of changes, see Bamboo 7.0 EAP 02 release notes.
