Release Notes v4.2
We’re happy to announce that we’ve released Repository Templates 4.2.0 on 🎉
Download on the Atlassian Marketplace for Bitbucket Data Center
Reviewer Groups and Pull Request Description templates settings can be synchronized
Repository Templates can now copy and synchronize the Reviewer Groups and Pull Request Description Templates configuration of your template repositories.
Go to the Project Settings and select Reviewer groups or Description template in your configuration, as shown below
Enabling synchronization of Reviewer groups and Description templates
Synchronization of Repository permissions is required for Reviewer groups, in order to ensure that users within these groups will have sufficient permissions in associated repositories.
JVM Flag is no longer required for usage with Java 17
In our previous release 4.0, we were requiring an extra JVM flag to make Repository Templates to work. This requirement has been lifted. You therefore don’t need to start Bitbucket with the --add-opens=java.base/java.lang.reflect=ALL-UNNAMED option. Other --add-opens options may still be required by Bitbucket itself.
Project Settings page has a new layout
With the increasing number of synchronizable settings, we have re-thought the layout for the project settings page. Available settings for synchronization should now follow the same structure as in Repository settings.
Changelog
4.2.3: Fix Creation of template with complete mirror on Bitbucket Mesh
We fixed the creation of creating repository without history on Bitbucket Mesh in the previous release (see below for details). This release also fixes the creation of repository using the complete mirror setting on Bitbucket Mesh.
4.2.2: Fix Creation of template on Bitbucket Mesh
A Bitbucket Mesh implementation bug was preventing the creation of new repositories from a template. While the bug has been solved for Bitbucket Data Center 9.4, we have implemented a workaround for people stuck in previous versions of Bitbucket. Creating a new repository without history will now work properly even when using Bitbucket Mesh.
Added Web Sudo support for Repository Templates global administration pages.
4.2.1: Fix REST API to create repository from template
Fix REST API endpoint to create repository from template. Due to a regression introduced in 4.0.0, it was required to send a template repository id, even when using the template slug and its project key.
See our REST API docs.
