Is disabling plugins a requirement now for all future upgrades?

[John Lawlor]

When upgrading from 5.x to 6.x I had to disable Bitbucket plugins.

Is this a still a requirement for all future upgrades for example if I go from 6.2 to 6.3?

Hi John,

When upgrading to a major version (like in your example, from 5.x to 6.x) plugins will be disabled automatically during the upgrade process and they should be enabled automatically after that. If some of the plugins become incompatible with the new version, then they'll remain disabled.

You shouldn't be doing this manually, Bitbucket will disable it in the cases that are necessary.

Hope that helps!
