Bitbucket Data Center 9.3 is available for upgrade! This release introduces a range of valuable features, such as a second layer of authentication, support for multiple availability zones in Bitbucket Mesh, multiline suggestions for code reviews, and more.
Learn more about the new features in the release notes.
Bitbucket Data Center 8.9.20, 8.19.10, and 9.2.1 bug fix releases are available now!

Data Center’s new login experience is now available in Bitbucket Data Center for testing. This functionality is intended purely as a test to check how the new two-step verification experience affects your apps' functionality and determine if any changes are necessary. We don’t recommend using it in production. The feature has been included in Bitbucket Data Center 9.2 but is not enabled by default. To enable the changes and validate them with your integrations, install Bitbucket Data Center 9.2 and set the JVM system property -Datlassian.authentication.legacy.mode=false.
To improve the security of the Bitbucket Data Center login experience, we’ve added the second authentication layer already announced by Confluence Data Center and Jira Data Center. This login process supports a native two-step verification (2SV) capability using a time-based one-time password (TOTP) generated by an authentication app as a second factor.
Check out our recent Atlassian Developer Community post and explore how to manage two-step verification.
Bitbucket Data Center 9.2 is available for upgrade! This release improves the security of the application and enhances collaboration by enabling multiline comments for code reviews.
Bitbucket Data Center 8.9.19, 8.19.9, and Bitbucket Data Center 9.1.1 bug fix releases are available now!

We’re happy to present Bitbucket 9.1. Find out what’s included in this version in the release notes.
We are removing mirrors of third-party packages such as maven-central from packages.atlassian.com
We're updating how we provide packages for customers and partners to develop with our platforms. Starting February 1, 2025, we will discontinue providing third-party packages on packages.atlassian.com. Instead, customers and partners must fetch these packages directly from the original upstream repositories.
For details on how this change affects you and for guidance on migration, please refer to the documentation available at http://developer.atlassian.com .
Upgrade to Bitbucket Data Center 9.0 to get many advantageous features, security enhancements, and API updates. This release also includes an upgrade to Atlassian Data Center Platform 7, which improves the quality of our response to security vulnerabilities with reduced disruption and changes for Marketplace apps.
Check out the whole bucket of updates in Bitbucket 9.0 release notes.
Midway through this quarter, we’ll be adding new Data Center app scanners to our suite of scanners (Ecoscanner) that scans Data Center apps listed on the Marketplace.
Here is what we’ll be scanning for:
Use of hardcoded secrets in Marketplace Data Center apps
Potential malware in Marketplace Data Center apps
To expand on this, the new DC app scanners will include:
Secret scanner: The new secret scanner will look for any hard-coded secrets in DC apps that could potentially pose a security risk if exposed. We engineered the scanner to detect secrets and manage potential security risks, ensuring that customer data remains protected from unauthorized access.
Malware scanner: Atlassian has implemented a robust malware scanning system for all Data Center applications in the Marketplace. This scan aims to identify and mitigate potential malware threats, thereby enhancing the security and integrity of our DC applications.
If a risk is detected: Atlassian will alert the app developer so they may investigate. If there is a critical risk, we recommend that Marketplace Partners notify customers.
We won’t begin issuing these new tickets to partners at this time; this is a preliminary announcement and an opportunity for partners to prepare. Atlassian plans on issuing tickets after August 15th 2024 via the AMS Jira project.
We are committed to working collaboratively with partners to continue improving the security of our Marketplace and fostering trust with our customers.
Partners with Partner Portal access can view the announcement in the Partner Portal blog.
