Performance improvements
We've continued to make performance improvements in Crucible, so your development team can deliver software even faster. For Crucible 3.8, we've made the following improvements:
- A faster activity stream and quicker changeset log rendering through better memory utilization.
- A faster review dashboard and review search pages, in some cases resulting in a greater than 200 times faster page load time.
- Improved Git indexing time for newly created branches. We observed branch indexing time reduced more than 3 times.
Support for more patch formats
Pre-commit reviews are commonly used by many development teams. We have reviewed the diff formats generated by supported SCMs and improved Crucible's patch parsers to handle a wider variety of them.
Small improvements
Java 7 is deprecated
Crucible 3.8 is the last version to support Java 7, as previously announced.
