We are happy to announce the availability of the new version of Bamboo Data Center 12.0 Early Access Program (EAP) release (rc3).
This Early Access Program release enables partners and customers with custom in-house applications to test compatibility and prepare their integrations ahead of Bamboo 12.0’s general availability.
Important things to note about this EAP release:
-
Don’t use this EAP release in production environments. For all Bamboo production, use Bamboo 11.0.x, the latest official release.
-
The general availability release is still underway and may contain some changes. However, this EAP release is intended to contain a complete picture of Bamboo 12.0’s improvements.
Using the EAP
EAP can be downloaded as a zip archive for Windows x64 and a tar.gz archive for Linux. For installation instructions, head to the documentation.
