Changelog

3.0.0: Bitbucket 9.0 compatibility, release 31 Jul 2024

Bitbucket 9.0 includes a major overhaul on how it integrates with the apps, also known as Atlassian Data Center Platform 7. This required many adaptions to make Checklist Buddy to continue to work on Bitbucket 9.0.

2.3.0: Extended Glob Support, release 13 Jun 2024

Checklists composed of a single title definition will be displayed as a comment (previously, they would not be shown)

Support for multi-line contents for titles, comments and tasks. When defining a checklist item (title, comment or task), you can now end the line by a \ (backslash), and the next line will be displayed in the actual comment in Bitbucket. Example:

CODE

--target master +title+ # Release procedure \
  follow the instructions below when you release.
  --target master +task+ ## Update documentation \
    1. Go to our Confluence pages [here](...) \
    2. Edit the page with the new features \
    3. ...
  --target master +task+ ## Prepare emailing \
    Prepare the release email to be sent to customers.

2.2.0: Extended Glob Support, release 22 Jan 2024

Extended the Glob support options-lists to match. For example --target {master,release/*} matches the branches master and release/*.
Fix for handling special characters in the Checklist editor

2.1.1: Maintenance release 21 Aug 2023

Improvements

Update dependencies to latest versions
Added telemetry for improving application usage and performance. You can opt out of sending telemetry statistics by setting the Bitbucket property plugin.ch.mibex.bitbucket.checklist-buddy.telemetry to false.

2.1.0: Checklist for various types of modifications, Project level checklists 27 Apr 2023

New Features

In 2.0.0, we introduced the Checklists on files feature. This time around, we go one step further and we give the opportunity to only add the Checklists depending on what happened to the file (added, modified or deleted) with the new with-modification filter. Example: --put-on-files CODEOWNERS --with-modification modified --with-modification deleted +task+ Don't touch the CODEOWNERS file!
Project-level Checklists: If you find yourself always adding the same Checklists in all your repositories, you may now instead define these checklists once on the Checklist Buddy Project Settings (Project settings -> Checklist Buddy) page. These checklists will be added on top of the already configured checklists in the repository:

Improvements

We continuously improve our Checklist Online Editor to reflect the changes from the last releases.

2.0.0: Checklists on files, *-except filters, new --commit-title filter 31 Mar 2023

New Features

Add Checklists on files in diff, instead on entire Pull Request: use newly introduced modifier --put-on-files to specify the files the checklist should be added to. Example: --put-on-files RELEASESNOTES.md +task+ Release notes updated with new features?
Introduction of generalized -except feature for filters. Before this release, it was possible to use the source-except filter to put a checklist on all pull requests where the source branch does not match the specified description. With this release, you can append -except to any filter. For example, you might want to add a task whenever the file pom.xml is not modified. You can now address that use case with --files-except pom.xml +task+ Version bump?
New --commit-title filter to create tasks for matching substrings in commit titles (first line of commit message). Example: --commit-title [WIP] +task+ Clean up commits before merging

Improvements

Improved PRCHECKLIST syntax error messages to facilitate troubleshooting. We will continue improving error messages in the future.
Show a button for the Checklist Buddy online editor when opening a PRCHECKLIST file in Bitbucket’s file view
Replace /checklist command with context menu button "Trigger Checklist Buddy" in pull request page

BREAKING CHANGE: App now uses PRCHECKLIST file from repository default branch instead of PR destination branch. This was done to make the maintenance of the app configuration easier.
