Atlassian developer changelog

This page contains announcements and updates for developers from various products, platforms, and programs across Atlassian. It includes filter controls to make it easier to only see updates relevant to you.

To ensure you don’t miss any updates, we also provide RSS feeds. These feeds will take on any filters you applied to the page, and are a standardized way of keeping up-to-date with Atlassian changes for developers. For example, in Slack with the RSS app installed, you can type /feed <FEED URL> in any channel, and RSS updates will appear in that channel as they are posted.

Announcement Reminder: Updates to Branding & Naming Validations for the Atlassian Marketplace

Marketplace Platform

To ensure compliance with Atlassian's branding guidelines, we are rolling out a hard block starting December 31, 2024, for existing apps with unresolved naming violations. Learn more here. Partners with open tickets related to app name violations must address these issues by this date. Failure to do so will render their app names non-compliant under Atlassian's brand guidelines. We have been sending reminders and will continue to provide updates and support to help you transition smoothly before the deadline.
Key Updates and Timelines:

  • Hard Block for Current Apps with Violations:

    • A hard block for existing app names with violations will take effect on December 31, 2024. All apps must be updated to comply with the guidelines before this date.

  • Soft Block for Existing Apps:

    • As of October 29, 2024, a soft block has been in place for existing apps with naming violations. Partners receive warnings during app version or name updates, but updates are not currently blocked.

  • Hard Block for New Apps:

    • Effective October 29, 2024, all new apps must comply with updated branding guidelines. Non-compliant app names are not accepted for approval submissions.

We appreciate your cooperation as we work together to maintain a consistent and fair Marketplace.

Announcement Forge rich-text bodied macros available in preview

Forge - Confluence Cloud (excludes Confluence REST APIs)

We're announcing a preview of rich-text bodied macros for Forge, allowing apps to define Confluence macros with a body in their manifest.

This also allows Connect apps to migrate their rich-text bodied macros to Forge.

Get started by checking out the macro module reference, or our tutorial on using rich-text bodied macros.

More details

Rich-text body macros let users insert rich content, like images and tables, within a macro using the Confluence editor. Apps can access and render this content within their macros. Macros using a custom editor can also provide an initial macro body on the first macro insert.

To be able to deploy these changes to your manifest, you will need the latest version of the Forge CLI. Run npm install -g @forge/cli@latest on the command line to install the latest version of @forge/cli.

To learn more about migrating Connect macros to Forge, see https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/adopting-forge-from-connect/migrate-macro/.
