Today, we are pleased to announce the availability of new version of Scala based Git centric software development platform GitBucket 4.22.0!

Create repository with an empty commit

Added a new option to create a repository with an empty commit.

Improve database viewer

A couple of features are added to the database viewer:

• Added “Auto query” checkbox to run a query when tree items are clicked
• Generate query to select a specific column by clicking a child item in the left tree

Update maven-repository-plugin

Unofficial maven-repository-plugin has been updated.

Now it’s possible to create arbitary repositories on the administration console, and each repository can be configured in whether artifaces are overwritable and whether repository is visible for all users. Invisible (private, in other words) repositories require basic authentication to access.

In addition, administrators can delete artifacts in repository on the web browser. This is available for even unoverwritable repositories.

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

Enjoy GitBucket!
