Documentation for FishEye 2.8.x. Documentation for other versions is available too.

FishEye (and Crucible) can detect and notify you of new versions of the program. In the Admin screen, you can set a background thread to poll Atlassian's servers and report when a new version of FishEye or Crucible has been released.

To use the Update Notification:

  1. From the 'Admin Menu', click 'Server Settings' from the left navigation bar.
  2. The 'Software Status' line displays either 'Up to Date', 'New Version Available' or 'Unknown'.
  3. The 'Last Checked' line displays the date when the feature last checked for a new version.
  4. Clicking the 'Check Now' link will immediately check for a new version.
  5. Clicking the 'Enable' link allows you to switch on regular polling of the Atlassian servers, which will do periodic checking for the release of new versions. The default interval between checks is one day.
  6. Once enabled, click 'Edit config' to adjust the settings. You can set an interval of your choosing. The minimum interval allowed is one minute.

(info) A status of 'Unknown' is displayed when the feature has not yet been activated.
