The functionality discussed on this page is only available in the Bamboo 5.0 EAP beta release.

Bamboo allows you to easily take control of your version naming strategy.

Bamboo gives you direct control over:

  • What Bamboo will call the next version the deployment project generates
  • Automatic incrementing of the version number each time a new version is created
  • Automatic incrementing of the version number as specified by a global variable each time a new version is created.
