Bitbucket Server 7.3 release notes
02 June 2020
Introducing Bitbucket Server and Data Center 7.3.
Highlights
Expiring personal access tokens
SERVER DATA CENTER
We know that for many admins, managing personal access tokens can be a challenge. Although token usage can increase security, it can also be a security risk. For example, when tokens are used for short-lived integrations, or your company policy requires that they're changed regularly.
That's why, in this new release, we've added the ability to set a token expiry date. Now when users create a token, they can set when it will automatically expire. To further increase security, admins can also make setting a token expiry date a requirement, and set the maximum number of days a token can be valid.
For more, see Managing HTTP access tokens.
Source branches are now deleted after merging by default
SERVER DATA CENTER
To help you keep your branch list clean, the delete source branch after merging option will now be selected by default when you merge a pull request. If this isn’t your preferred setting, you can change it and we'll remember your choice for next time using local storage.
For more, see Merge a pull request.
What else is new?
- We've added a new "scm-refs" ticket type to help manage scaling in Bitbucket Server and Data Center. See Scaling Bitbucket Data Center for more details.
- We've also added JMX metrics for
NioPumpThreadPool, which handles non-blocking process I/O. See Enabling JMX counters for performance monitoring for more information. - Bitbucket Server and Data Center will see more audit log events in this release.
