Hello Atlassian community,
As of today, Fisheye and Crucible are entering a basic maintenance mode.
Both Fisheye and Crucible are feature complete offerings. Thousands of customers continue to enjoy the benefits of searching, tracking, visualizing and reviewing code changes in multiple SCMs. At the same time the market, including many customers of Fisheye and Crucible, have adopted newer technologies, ways of working, and products such as Bitbucket for their software development. In recognition of this shift, we are focusing our investments on other product innovation.
Fisheye and Crucible are not going away - We know that customers have years of code history, millions of commits, and dozens of integrations built around your existing SCMs, and that moving existing code to another solution is not a priority for everyone. At this stage, we do not have an end of life plan and are pleased that Fisheye and Crucible will continue to be supported and deliver the value that our customers currently enjoy.
New Fisheye and Crucible releases will be still published - Basic maintenance mode means that there will not be any further feature development on Fisheye and Crucible. Atlassian will continue to provide licensed customers with technical support and updates in the form of maintenance releases. Such releases will focus on security and bug fixes, and platform updates.
Approach to security vulnerabilities - We are committed to delivering security fixes also in the basic maintenance mode. This includes vulnerabilities in both our own code and the third-party libraries bundled with Fisheye and Crucible. If a security fix requires a backward-incompatible change, we might decide to postpone it to the next major release of Fisheye and Crucible to not break existing plugins and integrations. In such a case, the time to fix the vulnerability might exceed our SLOs.
We hope this post will help you with planning your approach to source code management, and that you’ll continue to choose Atlassian products to unleash the potential of all of your teams.
For more details, including answers to frequently asked questions, please see the full announcement. If you have any questions or concerns not covered there please let us know!
Cheers,
The Fisheye and Crucible Team
