Today, we are pleased to announce the availability of new version of Scala based Git platform GitBucket 3.5 with Gist plug-in update!

Octicons

Octicons is an open-source web font contains GitHub like icons provided by GitHub. GitBucket and Gist plug-in now use Octicons instead of bitmap icons. It makes beautiful appearance even if for large display.

Enhance global header

Global header has been enhanced. Now it’s further similar to GitHub.

Default compare / pull request target

In the previous version of GitBucket, the default target of comparing or pull request from the branch list was the default branch of the current repository.

However since GitBucket 3.5, it has been changed to the default branch of the parent repository as same as GitHub.

Gist plug-in

Gist plug-in includes many updates as below.

Git repository access

Git repository URL (both of http and ssh) is now available. We can clone and push Gist contents using Git client.

Comment

The comment form has been added to Gist. Markdown and its preview are available as same as GitBucket (but file attachment is not available currently).

Fork

It’s possible to fork Gist repository.

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

Enjoy GitBucket!
