Today, we are pleased to announce the availability of new version of Scala based Git platform GitBucket 2.2!

Plug-in system is available

Plug-in system is available since this release. You can install, update and uninstall plug-ins at system settings page.

You can write plug-in by JavaScript but plug-in system is still unstable. Therefore plug-in API will be changed in the future version.

Move to Scala 2.11

Move to Scala 2.11 from 2.10. And it’s also upgrade frameworks. We are now using Scalatra 2.3 and Slick 2.1. Especially, moving to Slick 2.1 is a first step of multiple database driver support.

tar.gz export for repository contents

You can export repository contents as tar.gz not only zip.

LDAP authentication improvement

LDAP authentication has been improved. The mail address became optional. If LDAP server does not have a mail address field, you have to input your mail address after the initial LDAP authentication.

News feed of private repositories

Show news feed of a private repository to members in the dashboard.

In addition, some bug fix and improvements are contained in this release. See all closed issues in this release to know details.

Enjoy GitBucket!
