Bitbucket Data Center 10.2 is a Long Term Support release
This means we’ll continue to backport critical security and product bug fixes to 10.2 throughout its standard 2-year support window. In addition, when architecturally possible, we’ll also backport all other security bug fixes.
This allows you to get the maximum value from our continuous product development without strictly keeping up with the frequent release cadence.
Long Term Support releases are designed specifically for larger, more complex instances – ones that require significant planning and effort to upgrade. We understand that upgrades for such instances can be few and far between, and so every one of them needs to count. So, if you can manage only one feature release upgrade every year, make sure it is to the latest LTS release.
Check out the Atlassian Data Center Bug Fix Policy and Security Bug Fix policies for more information.

Responsive pull requests on mobile
For: END USERS
We’ve significantly improved the mobile experience for pull requests. The pull request is now fully responsive on mobile, so you can manage the whole PR lifecycle without switching to desktop.
From your phone or tablet, you can now:
view and review PR diffs with a responsive UI
interact with your team by adding comments
take action by approving or declining PRs on the go
These changes are designed to unblock time‑sensitive reviews and make it easier to keep work moving, even when you’re away from your desk.
Good to know:
Mobile device resolution supported:
480pxand aboveMinimum tablet resolution supported:
768pxand above
For more details on supported platforms, see Supported platforms in Bitbucket.
Merge queues
For: END USERS
Merge queues help keep important branches stable while you're merging several pull requests. Instead of merging a pull request directly into a target branch, you add it to a queue and Bitbucket validates what will actually be merged before it lands.
With merge queues, you can:
- avoid breaking changes caused by incompatible pull requests
- keep critical branches in a healthy, “green” state
- make merges more predictable in busy repositories
To learn more about how merge queues work and how to use them, see the merge queues documentation.
Development information backfill to Jira Software Cloud
For: ADMINS
You can now backfill historical development information about pull requests to linked Jira Software Cloud sites. Previously, you could only synchronize new activity.
For more details, refer to REST API documentation.
