Upgrade notes
Here’s some important information you should know about before upgrading.
Bamboo 9.4.2 no longer ships with the JDBC driver for the H2 database engine
To resolve several security vulnerabilities, the JDBC driver for the H2 database engine is no longer bundled with Bamboo 9.4.2 and newer. If you want to evaluate Bamboo using the H2 database, see Connect Bamboo to an H2 database .
Reduced inactivity duration and socket timeout period for remote agents
To resolve a problem with all remote agents being abruptly disconnected, Bamboo 9.4 reduces the maximum remote agent inactivity duration to 90 seconds and introduces a socket timeout of 45 seconds.
If you’re planning to upgrade an existing instance of Bamboo to version 9.4, manually apply the new inactivity duration and socket timeout values to the broker and broker client URLs.

Changes to the configuration of the Docker task
Bamboo 9.4 introduces several changes to the method of configuring the Docker task:

- Docker’s deprecated
[-e|--email]authentication option was removed from the Docker task.
