Releases experience improved for Jira Software projects

The releases tab in Jira Cloud got a little uplift, the interface and the layout slightly changed to make the page look cleaner, you can see the PRs and builds for each issue in the table as well.  

One thing to be aware of, the option to trigger a Bamboo build when releasing a new version was removed but the Jira and Bamboo integration will continue to work. You just need to release the build directly in Bamboo.

Announcing new Developer Success Stories!

Atlassian launches Developer Success Stories where every quarter they publish a set of inspiring and insightful stories about ecosystem developers. These publications will celebrate developers' achievements, share their advice and create an opportunity for the dev community to connect and get to know each other.

From building a business on Atlassian Ventures or transitioning apps from server to cloud of Connect to Forge, all of their stories are interesting, so we invite you to go take a couple of minutes and read them. Quite useful advice in the articles as well.

Good news for all of us who are running multiple repositories on Bitbucket, now you will be able to use project Bitbucket settings to edit the repositories across bitbucket.

You can set up things like default reviewers, merge strategies, branching models, and more and the changes will be reflected in the repositories under this project. If your repositories have the same standards this might save you quite a bit of time setting up and distributing the changes to your repos.
