I'm happy to announce that Bamboo 7.2 has been released and it’s overflowing with awesome new features. This will be the last major Server release before the launch of Bamboo DC.
We’ve continued to work on one of the biggest pain points of Bamboo users - logs being cluttered and affecting performance. We are aware that in order to work efficiently and quickly find out what’s happened with your builds, you need immediate access to relevant information in the log files. To help you achieve that, we’ve limited the level of noise that gets in your way and giving you control over how much your Bamboo instance logs.
Starting in 7.2, Bamboo will be logging less data by default. If you need to log additional data, like various VCS information and environment variables, you can enable the newly introduced verbose mode (when running a customized plan or in the deployment screen).
Previously, we attached logs for every job that was rerun to the existing log file for that job. As a result, the log file was getting cluttered and difficult to navigate. Now in 7.2 we store logs for every job that is rerun in a separate file - making that information easier to find than ever!
What’s more, another batch of Specs for branches improvements has been delivered in response to your feedback:
YAML Specs
We’ve added the any-task command so you can use tasks from any Marketplace app in Bamboo.
We've introduced the native YAML Specs support for SSH/SCP, Command, Maven, and Build Warnings tasks.
The new YAML Specs API allows app vendors to manage plan and deployment triggers.
Java Specs
Trigger conditions configuration is now available in Java Specs. YAML Specs support will be available in future releases.
Third-party Java Specs builders can be now used for Repository Stored Specs (RSS). Create your own Specs libraries to manage large and complex plan configurations.
You can now schedule Bamboo to run a build automatically, whenever a selected tag appears in your repository.
Now you can enable and disable agents through REST API endpoints.
Other changes include:
Added support for MS SQL 2019, PostgreSQL 12
Deprecation of MySql 5.6.3, Solaris, and macOS/OSX for server
We would love to get your feedback on these new improvements and learn how your organization plans to take advantage of them. Please share your stories, questions, and feedback with the Bamboo team below!
