End of support announcements for Bamboo

This page announces the end of support for various platforms and browsers used with Atlassian Bamboo.

The table below summarises recent end of support announcements for Bamboo. See the sections following for the full announcements.

Platform	Announcement date
PostgreSQL 8	17 March 2015
Microsoft SQL Server 2005, 2008	17 March 2015
MySQL 5.1	17 March 2015
Java 7	17 March 2015

Why is Atlassian ending support for these platforms?

Atlassian is committed to delivering improvements and bug fixes as fast as possible. We are also committed to providing world class support for all the platforms our customers run our software on. However, as new versions of databases, web browsers etc. are released, the cost of supporting multiple platforms grows exponentially, making it harder to provide the level of support our customers have come to expect from us. Therefore, we no longer support platform versions marked as end-of-life by the vendor, or very old versions that are no longer widely used.
