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.

Added Forge LLMs (Preview) now supports Claude Opus 4.7

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

Support for Claude Opus 4.7 model is now available in Forge LLMs. For the exhaustive list of supported models, refer to our documentation here

Added Forge multi-entry resource bundles are now generally available

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

Forge multi-entry resource bundles are now generally available in Jira and Confluence. This feature allows you to group multiple named entry points within a single resource, helping you optimise app performance and stay within resource limits.

What's changing
Multi-entry resource bundles allow you to define multiple entry points for a single resource in your Forge manifest. This is particularly useful for complex apps that need to share code between different parts of the UI while keeping the overall bundle size manageable.

What you need to do
To get started with multi-entry resource bundles, you can update your manifest.yml to include multiple entry points under a single resource. For more details, see the documentation here.

More details

Note: This feature is not yet supported in Atlassian Government Cloud.

Announcement Staggered reintroduction of minor version updates for Connect to Forge apps with over 50,000 users

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

From Jul 8, 2026, we will begin removing the temporary restriction announced in CHANGE-3109 that required every update to Connect to Forge apps with over 50,000 users to be classified as a major version update. We will contact partners first before lifting the restriction on their app(s).

This restriction was introduced as a temporary safety measure to protect downstream Forge services from sudden traffic spikes during large version migrations. Since then, we have completed significant scaling and reliability work across the affected services, so we are now able to return these apps to the normal minor version update path.

What is changing

  • Affected Forge apps can return to using minor version updates, rather than being forced into major version updates and forge version bulk-upgrade batches.

  • You will still be able to use forge version bulk-upgrade if you prefer a controlled, batched rollout - this remains available and unchanged.

For detailed information on how to use forge version bulk-upgrade, see https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/cli-reference/version-bulk-upgrade/.

How are we rolling this out

To avoid any unexpected impact on in-flight migration activities, we will not automatically re-enable minor version updates for every affected app at once. Instead:

  • We will contact affected partners individually to confirm whether you would like minor version updates re-enabled for your app, and to coordinate timing against your current migration plans.

  • If you would like the restriction removed for your app now, please reach out to Ecosystem Support, and we will action the request.

Added Additional fields in Bitbucket Forge events

Forge - Bitbucket (excludes Bitbucket REST APIs)
REST API - Bitbucket Cloud

Additional fields available in Bitbucket Forge events. This change is backward-compatible; no existing fields are removed or renamed.

What’s changing:

Bitbucket Forge events now include additional fields in their payloads. This update allows Forge apps to access more comprehensive data directly from the event, reducing the need to make separate API calls back to Bitbucket to fetch missing details.

The following event types are updated with additional fields:

  • Repository created events

  • Repository push events

  • Build status events

  • Pull request events

What you need to do:

No action is required. If your app is already listening to these Bitbucket Forge events, the additional fields will automatically be available in the event payload. If you validate event payloads with a strict schema, ensure your validator allows additional properties.

You can review the updated payload structures in the Bitbucket events reference documentation.

Added Support for Unlicensed/Anonymous/Customer Access for UIM Forge Modules

Adopting Forge from Connect
Forge - Jira Cloud Platform (excludes Jira REST APIs)
Forge - JSM Cloud (excludes JSM REST APIs)
Forge - Jira Software Cloud (excludes JSW REST APIs)

What's changing

You can now control access for the jira:uiModifications module for different user types:

  • Anonymous – users who are not logged in

  • Unlicensed – users invited to a Jira space without a license (guests in case of Jira)

  • Customer – JSM portal customers

By default, Forge apps only run for licensed Jira and Jira Service Management users. With this update, you can allow your UI Modifications app to run for anonymous, unlicensed, or customer users by declaring it in your app manifest.

As previously announced, from Jun 29, 2026, UI Modifications will not run for anonymous, unlicensed or customer account users unless the module explicitly declares support for these user types in the Forge app manifest.

What you need to do

To allow your app to work for anonymous, unlicensed, or customer users, add the unlicensedAccess property to the jira:uiModifications module in your manifest.yml file.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 modules: jira:uiModifications: - key: ui-modifications-app title: UI modifications resource: uiModifications resolver: function: resolver unlicensedAccess: - anonymous - unlicensed - customer

Only include the user types your app needs. For example, if your app only needs to work for anonymous users:

1 2 unlicensedAccess: - anonymous

For detailed steps, refer to the https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/access-to-forge-apps-for-unlicensed-users/.

Added Frontend custom metrics now available for Forge apps — per-app custom metric limit doubled to 20

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

Forge apps that run entirely in the browser — with no backend resolver — can now emit custom metrics directly from the frontend. Previously, custom metrics were only available to apps with a server-side resolver.

What's new

  • Frontend custom metrics — counter metrics can now be emitted from your app's browser-side code using the frontendCustomMetrics SDK in @forge/bridge available from v6.0.0 onwards.

  • Metric limit doubled — to accommodate both backend and frontend metrics on the same app, the per-app custom metric limit has increased from 10 to 20.

Documentation

See Instrument a frontend custom metric for the full API reference and setup guide.

Announcement Forge functions free usage allowance is increased to 200,000 GB-seconds per month

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

What is changing?

We previously announced that usage of asynchronous Forge app invocations will become billable on Jul 1, 2026.

To compensate for the inclusion of these functions in your billable usage, we are doubling the free usage allowance for Forge functions from 100,000 GB-seconds per month to 200,000 GB-seconds per month.

The increased allowance will be rolled out progressively, for:

  • Newly-created Forge apps starting on Jun 29, 2026

  • Existing Forge apps starting on Jul 1, 2026

The increased allowance will apply for all apps for the billing month of July 2026.

 

What do I need to do?

No action is required. The increased allowance will be applied automatically.

We recommend reviewing your Forge functions consumption in the Forge Developer Console's Usage and Charges section to understand how this change affects your apps before billing begins.

Announcement  Forge Realtime is now generally available

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

Forge Realtime has moved from Preview to General Availability. You can now use Realtime in production apps with full platform support and operational readiness.

What's changing

  • Distinct subscriber and publisher roles: You can now issue tokens that grant only subscribe or publish access to a channel using the new permissions argument in signRealtimeToken. This lets you restrict publishing to your backend while granting subscribe-only access to frontends. Tokens without explicit permissions remain with full access.

  • Rate limits: Limits of 50 operations per app installation per second are now enforced. See Realtime limits and error messages for details.

What you need to do

  • Run the following commands in your app directory to install the latest versions of these packages:
     npm install @forge/bridge@latest
     npm install @forge/realtime@latest
