Bitbucket Data Center and Server 8.10 release notes
2 May 2023
Introducing Bitbucket Data Center and Server 8.10.
Highlights include:
Stricter controls for more settings
SERVER DATA CENTER
In 8.8, we added stricter controls for permissions, SSH keys, and the access tokens repository settings. In this release, we’ve now added controls for hooks, merge checks, merge strategies, and branch settings to help you create consistent settings across all repositories in your project. Learn how to restrict repository-level changes
Other changes and improvements
New SSH, HTTP, and SCM ticket metrics via JMX monitoring and log file
SERVER DATA CENTER
Access new SSH, HTTP, and SCM Ticket metrics through JMX monitoring for efficient in-product diagnostics and timely resolution of performance issues.
The metrics are available through JMX, as well as the new log file atlassian-bitbucket-ipd-monitoring.log which can be found in the <local-home>/logs directory.
To use these metrics, you must have first enabled JMX monitoring.
Learn more about this feature at Live Monitoring Using the JMX Interface
Automatic branch merge is now cascading merge
SERVER DATA CENTER
We’ve renamed the “automatic merging” feature in branch settings to “cascading merge” to make way for an exciting new feature coming later this year. We’ve also renamed this term throughout the Bitbucket user interface, including email notifications and the following audit log events:
- Auto merge succeeded
- Auto merge failed
- Auto-merge configuration changed
Needs work is now changes requested
SERVER DATA CENTER
We’ve renamed the pull request status “Needs work” to “Changes requested” in response to feedback from users that the "needs work" language felt too strong.
Before you upgrade to 8.10
SERVER DATA CENTER
H2 database migration requirement
The H2 database driver has been upgraded to the currently latest version 2.2.220. The upgrade has boosted data security.
If you’re upgrading to Bitbucket 8.8 and later or Mesh 1.5 and later, you’ll need to migrate the data manually to the upgraded Bitbucket or Mesh instance if:
you’re using a mirror
you’re using Bitbucket Server with a H2 database
you’ve set up Bitbucket Mesh
Updates to supported platforms
Bitbucket 8.10 now includes support for running:
- Maria DB 10.10 and 10.11
Get ready to upgrade
Before upgrading from an earlier version, check out our upgrade guide and upgrade matrix. Remember to renew your active software maintenance license too.
As part of our new pull request experience from version 7.0 and higher, we have created a collection of new features for you to check out on one page, Enhancements to your code review workflow.
