We are pleased to announce the availability of the first Early Access Program (EAP) release of Bitbucket Server 7.0.
This EAP release is so that app vendors and customers who have written in-house apps can update their apps to ensure they will work with the public release of Bitbucket Server 7.0.
A second EAP will be released 1-2 weeks before the release of Bitbucket Server 7.0, so remember to retest your apps one more time on this release.
Bitbucket Server 7.0, due February 2020, is our next platform release and will contain breaking changes.
Important things to note about this EAP release:
- As development of the release is underway, the specifics of breaking changes will evolve and there may be other minor API changes between this release and the public release of Bitbucket Server 7.0.
- This release should not be used in production environments. For all production use and testing of Bitbucket Server, please use the latest official release 7 instead.
