This changelog is the source of truth for all changes to the Forge platform that affect people developing Forge apps.
See what's next for Forge on our platform roadmap.
We're excited to share that Forge, our app development platform for Atlassian cloud products, is now generally available. You can rely on Forge's hosted infrastructure, storage, and FaaS functions to support apps in production; all of which are backed by Atlassian's operational readiness. Learn more about building the next Marketplace hit with Forge.
Note that some functionality in Forge remains in beta while we're still making changes that may break your apps. Learn more about the current functionality in beta.
We are introducing updates to the official pricing for the Forge platform, effective January 1, 2026. To support developers in managing costs, we are launching a cost dashboard and a cost estimator. These tools will provide transparency and predictability in tracking Forge usage and estimating costs.
Cost Dashboard: Now available in the Developer Console, the Usage and costs dashboard provides visibility into month-to-date usage and forecasted costs for Forge resources at the app level. We've also introduced a cumulative resource usage chart to help you better track and understand overall consumption trends over time.
Cost Estimator: This tool helps developers estimate pricing for apps before they are built by inputting expected usage quantities to receive a monthly cost estimate.
KVS Usage Caveat: Please note that usage metrics for the Key-Value Store (KVS) may differ from past days due to recent updates.
For more information, see the Forge pricing announcement blog post and the Forge platform pricing details. For any feedback, please visit Forge pricing.
Forge Remotes are now available in the Atlassian Government Cloud. Please refer to the AGC documentation for details on supporting Forge Remotes within your AGC Forge app.
We have increased the default timeout for forge functions used in both the webtrigger and scheduledTrigger modules from 25 seconds to 55 seconds. Additionally, developers can now specify a timeoutSeconds value for functions used in the scheduledTrigger module, with a maximum limit of 900 seconds.

The short options -v1 and -v2 of the forge version compare have been removed in major release v12.0.0 of the Forge CLI. Instead, you should use the existing long options --version1 and --version2.
For example:forge version compare --version1=3 --version2=5
We have made this change to align with established CLI conventions around short options being single characters.
Run npm install -g @forge/cli@latest on the command line to install the latest version of @forge/cli and receive these changes.
See the forge version compare documentation for more information.
We’ve updated the minimum compatible Node.js version for the Forge CLI to 20.0.0. Developers running older versions of Node.js will need to upgrade to continue using the Forge CLI. This change ensures that all developers have access to the latest features, security updates, and performance improvements.
We've released a new major version of @forge/events for Async events API. This update includes changes to both event publishing, event consumption, job progress tracking and job cancellation, designed to improve the developer experience and prepare for upcoming feature additions. We describe the differences between major versions 1 and 2 in the migration guide.
This release includes the following changes:
Event publishing
The signature of Queue.push() has changed, with the parameter type PushEvent now containing body and delayInSeconds. The event body must be an object.
Event consumption
Forge resolvers are no longer used. The Consumer module instead requires a Function.
Consumer functions are invoked with an AsyncEvent, which contains the fields of PushEvent as well as invocation-specific fields, including jobId and retryContext. jobId is no longer available via context. retryContext and is no longer added to the event body.
Job progress tracking
JobProgress.getStats() now returns a JobStats object containing success, inProgress and failed, instead of an APIResponse.
Job cancellation
JobProgress.cancel() no longer returns an APIResponse.
We’re introducing the ability for apps to publish events, allowing for enhanced interoperability between apps. This feature enables apps to subscribe to events using the existing https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/modules/trigger/ module, opening up new possibilities for app interactions.
Developers can start using app events by implementing the https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/modules/event/ module in their apps. For detailed guidance and examples, refer to https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/events-reference/app-events/.
To publish events using the runtime API, you need at least version 2.0.0 of the @forge/events dependency. Add this to your package.json:
1
2
3
4
5
{
"dependencies": {
"@forge/events": "^2.0.0"
}
}We have introduced a basic ability for consumers of async events to control the rate at which events are consumed by setting a limit of how many events can be processed concurrently for an app-defined key.
These changes apply only to async events pushed using @forge/events with major version 2.
Example usage

await queue.push({
body: { ... },
concurrency: {
key: 'my-key',
limit: 1
}
});A new getUrl method has been added to router in @forge/bridge. The method will accept a NavigationLocation object and return a URL object for the corresponding destination.
This method is in Preview. For more details, see the router documentation.
Run npm install --save @forge/bridge@latest in your resource directory to install the latest version of Forge bridge.
The CLI linter was incorrectly overriding some existing egress permissions when it identified that certain permissions were missing.
This issue resulted in the manifest file being altered from:
1

permissions:
external:
fetch:
backend:
- address: 'test.com'
inScopeEUD: true
category: analyticsto:

permissions:
external:
fetch:
backend:
- the-missing-url-here
- test.comThe latest version of the CLI fixes this problem by adding a default egress permission linter. This linter upgrades all egress entries from a simple string type to a more complex object format, as shown below:
1

3
address: 'test.com'
inScopeEUD: true
category: analyticsTo install the latest version of @forge/cli and access these improvements, run the following command in your terminal:

npm install -g @forge/cli@latestForge apps can now impersonate any user from their context. This includes impersonating other users given a user ID, and impersonating users when no user is in session, such as from a scheduled trigger or product event listener. Apps will need to declare properties on their existing scopes to be able to do this. See https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/apis-reference/fetch-api-product.requestjira/ for more details on how to use this on Forge functions, and https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/remote/calling-product-apis/ for more details on how to use this on Forge remotes.
We have published a new migration guide to assist you in transitioning your Forge custom fields to use the isInline property.
The guide includes two practical examples:
Migrating a Forge custom field to render inline
Migrating a Forge custom field to render in a modal
For more details, please refer to https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/modules/jira-custom-field/#inline-edit-migration-guide
The list of modified fields in the Jira workflow validator has been expanded to include two new fields:
Linked Issues
Comment
For a complete list of all supported field types, please refer to the documentation: Jira Workflow Validator.
We've added an openOnInsert parameter for macros with classic configuration. This parameter allows you to control whether the configuration panel is automatically opened on macro insert, enhancing the user experience by providing more flexibility.
To use this feature, you must be on the latest @forge/cli version 11.6.0. For more information, see the macro module documentation.
We’ve added the ability to see insights into rate limits faced by your app into the developer console.
The new Rate limited label will be shown in the usual error metrics tab of the developer console.
This rate limited error report only covers invocation rate limits that effectively prevent your app from running.
This is aligned with the invocation rate limits we have documented.
