Bitbucket Data Center 9.1 release notes
27 August 2024
The Bitbucket Data Center 9.1 release is now available for upgrade.
Highlights include:
Security monitoring and alerts
For: ADMINS
Admins can now promptly identify and address critical security threats. This feature helps monitor and detect suspicious activities, such as modifications to important configurations or changing access rights.
When the system identifies a thread, admins receive email alerts. These alerts contain suggested actions to investigate and address any possible security threats effectively.
Authorized users can use this feature to view, search, and categorize alerts. Upon viewing an alert, a detailed chart depicting the user's historical activities is displayed. This functionality empowers security team members to get valuable insights into the user's past actions.
Allow rolling upgrades for mirror farms
For: ADMINS
You can now perform rolling upgrades for mirror farms to a newer bug fix release without any downtime. Use these REST APIs to start and finish the rolling upgrade process:
Other improvements
Front-end dependencies are now included in the SBOM file
In addition to the back-end dependencies, the SBOM file now includes front-end dependencies, providing details about the software components, dependencies, and licenses utilized in the build. This enhancement ensures that Bitbucket Data Center is compliant with the Secure Software Development Framework.
New REST API for diff stats summary
We’ve added a REST API for retrieving the diff statistics summary (total lines of code added and removed, and number of files changed) for commits and pull requests.
Introducing Data Center Security Hub
We’re pleased to introduce the Data Center Security Hub—your central place for Data Center security documentation.
With the Security Hub, you can proactively manage and enhance the security of your Data Center environment. It offers a wide range of resources to help you navigate the complex landscape of Data Center security effectively. These resources include configuring your instance, monitoring your product health, and managing vulnerabilities.
We’ve also released the Data Center security checklist and best practices for admins. This guide provides valuable insights on safely deploying and administering Atlassian self-managed software.
