Unable to add new repo in bamboo for bitbucket cloud

[ewsscm]

While adding a new repository in bamboo using (Bitbucket cloud) it is not allowing to add them (with as username and password) and throwing API errors

Version of bamboo : 6.7.2

Error while we add the repo

Failed to load data from Bitbucket. com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.bitbucket.api.BitbucketApiException: HTTP 410 {"type": "error", "error": {"message": "Resource removed", "detail": "This API is no longer supported.\n\nFor information about its removal, please refer to the deprecation notice at: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/deprecation-notice-v1-apis/"}}

In the bamboo logs I am able to see this error (Not sure where to change the api call settings in bamboo)

[RESTCall] Response from GET https://api.bitbucket.org/1.0/user/repositories/?format=xml (410)

Yes. Thanks for this Atlassian. Looking at the release notes it seems that in v6.8 the API v2 was supported. Apparently I need to upgrade to the version released this spring or else no-more adding bitbucket cloud repos. Can someone please confirm this is the only option.
