User Interface Overhaul
In our previous release, Bamboo 2.7, we introduced Stages and Jobs to improve the way your Builds are structured. The user interface wasn't ideal for representing the new Plan structure though. In this release, we've taken the opportunity to completely overhaul the Bamboo user interface, including the Plans, Jobs and Build Results screens. If you are currently using Atlassian's JIRA, you'll feel right at home with the new look and feel!
Highlights include:
- A more neutral colour scheme to improve readability of the screens.
- Redesigned controls — slicker tabs, svelte forms and tables, Atlassian-standard headings and better buttons.
- Layout changes — functions moved into dropdowns to make key information more prominent.
Plan and Job Summary
As part of our drive to improve the Bamboo user experience, we've implemented better user interfaces for Plans and Jobs. The new Plan Navigator shows you the Stages and Jobs hierarchy in a Plan, as well as allowing quick navigation to Jobs. If you are looking at a Job, it will be highlighted in the Plan Navigator. Common functions have been moved into an 'Actions' menu for easy access. The interface also looks much cleaner, due to a better organised layout and the new colour scheme.

Build Results
The Build Results user interface for Plans and Jobs has also been improved in Bamboo 3.0. This includes a status ribbon that allows you to see whether a build was successful or not, at a glance. We've also added a history navigator that allows you to view the status of and navigate to, prior and subsequent build results. An updated layout and the new colour scheme complements these new features.
