Hi Bitbucket Data Center Community,

Today, we’re excited to share that Bitbucket Data Center 10.2 is now available as the latest Long Term Support (LTS) release.

In case you missed it, we recently announced new LTS releases for Jira Software, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and Bamboo are available now.

Below are a few highlights, though not a comprehensive list, of all the improvements in the current release. To see a full overview of features and bug fixes, check out the Bitbucket 10.2 release notes.

What’s New in Bitbucket Data Center 10.2 (Now available)

• Merge Queues - Merge queues now enable you to streamline how pull requests are merged into active branches. Pull requests can now be placed into a queue and are merged in an orderly way after they meet your build requirements. This will help teams ship faster while spending less time on annoying interruptions.

• Responsive Mobile UI for pull requests - The pull request page is now responsive on mobile, so you can review, comment on, and approve or decline PRs on the go.

• A more complete integration with Jira Cloud - Jira Cloud tickets are now updated with all historical developer information.
