Bitbucket Data Center and Server 8.9 Long Term Support Release Change Log
This Long Term Support (LTS) release change log sets out to give you an overview of what's changed between the 7.21 and 8.9 LTS releases.
About Long Term Support releases
We recommend upgrading Bitbucket regularly, however if your organization's process means you only upgrade about once a year, upgrading to a Long Term Support release may be a good option, as it provides continued access to critical security, stability, data integrity and performance issues until this version reaches end of life.
