What's New in Bamboo?
Multiple Repositories Support
Bamboo's #1 voted feature request has shipped in Bamboo 3.3 - multiple repository support. Monitor and checkout code from multiple repositories including Subversion, Git, Mercurial, CVS and Perforce. Multiple repositories in Bamboo are great for small projects that wish to build and include externally developed open source software as part of their project, or larger projects that consist of multiple modules located in different repositories.
- Easily build large projects: large projects are often composed of smaller, self-contained modules. Module externals in version control systems such as Git and Subversion can be a real headache - now you can build without using externals or submodules with Bamboo!
- Build on different repositories: Switched version control systems recently? Still have legacy projects in your old system? Use Multiple Repositories to checkout the source(s), build and test just as if all the projects existed in the same repository.
- Build binaries for open source projects: if you need to build an open-source library from source to include it in your project, you can now easily do this with Multiple Repositories and Bamboo's Bitbucket and Github support.
- Public and Private source:
in some scenarios you may have parts of your source code public and
other parts of your source within a secure or private repository. Bamboo
allows for multiple checkouts within a single Job to checkout source
from both repositories.
Drop the complicated scripts,
externals and submodules and use the repository configuration interface
to easily administer your repositories.Checkout code with Tasks
Not all tests require source code to be checked out, you can utilize the flexibility of Bamboo Tasks to only checkout code from the repositories that matter for a particular Job.
Reload-able Plugins
Install plugins from the Plugin Exchange and enable them without restarting Bamboo.
- Deploy to Tomcat
- Copy files from agents to remote SSH servers (using SCP)
- Build Xcode and iOS applications
- and much more
Improved Dashboard
Use the improved "My Bamboo" dashboard to view your latest changes, favourite builds and build history to quickly find the information most relevant to you.
Commit centric view
It's
great to know what builds are broken, but for a developer it's even
more important to know whether their recent commit was the cause. The
Latest Changes section in your "My Bamboo" dashboard now provides a
commit centric view of builds in Bamboo, showing builds in relation to
an individual commit and providing a way to assess a level of overall
confidence in a commit. Get clear, pinpoint feedback on what builds your
commits are impacting.
Upgrade agents with ease
Bamboo administrators will save valuable time with automatic upgrades of remote agents. No longer do you need to manually upgrade and restart your remote agents with a Bamboo upgrade - it's automatic. Agents now start-up faster, auto update and reload plugins.
There is more...
- Java 7 Support - Java 7 brings some great additions to the language and with Bamboo 3.3 we provide full compatibility with Java 7
- History friendly tabbed navigation - by loading tabbed content via AJAX we significantly increased the page-load times so you can browse your build results faster
