Stash 3.5 release notes

25 November 2014

Introducing Stash 3.5

Today we're proud to announce the release of Stash 3.5.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Stash, please read the Bitbucket Server upgrade guide.

Please also check the End of support announcements. Add-on developers will be interested in the API changelog.

The Stash 3.5 changelog is at the bottom of this page.

Easily browse code in side-by-side diffs and the Source view

With Stash 3.5 you now get syntax highlighting in side-by-side diffs (although not the unified diff view) for pull requests and commits, and in the Source view, so the code is much easier to read.

We've taken the opportunity to add a range of new language mappings as well, including for Erlang, Perl, Python, Ruby and Puppet.

Note that the highlighting engine in Stash has been changed from HighlightJS to CodeMirror. The use of HighlightJS for syntax highlighting in Stash is now deprecated, and will be removed in Stash 4.0. See Syntax highlight changes for information about how to migrate any custom mappings for HighlightJS that you may have made.

Amplify review feedback with comment likes

In another step towards better team collaboration, we've added comment likes. This might sound like a gimmick, but we think it's got real value. We've found that liking a comment is a simple yet strong way for pull request participants to amplify review feedback – it's a quick way of saying "also consider this person's feedback". 

Whether it's a compliment or a suggestion, you can show your support without having to write a "+1" or "I agree" comment.

Quickly see work done by using tags

Tags have long been used to mark important points in a repository's history, such as a milestone or a release. To help you make use of tags, Stash now displays them in the Commits list:

You can quickly see the work done since you tagged a commit, and easily find that commit by its tag.

 

Small improvements

Deprecated support for Java 7

Support for Java 7 is deprecated, and will be removed in Stash 4.0. See End of support announcements for Stash.

Deprecated support for older Git versions

Support for versions of Git earlier than v1.8 on the server is deprecated and will be removed in Stash 4.0. See End of support announcements for Stash.
