Crowd Development
1

We’ve just released the EAP 03 of Crowd 7.0 so you can get familiar with the upcoming changes.

Highlights

  • Added support for Postgres 17: Crowd 7.0 will support two versions of the Postgres database: 16 & 17.
  • Added support for MySQL 8.4 LTS: Crowd 7.0 will support only this version of MySQL.
  • Changes to the Restore Crowd feature: Restoring Crowd using an XML file requires only the file name now.
  • Disable scheduled backups by default: In this version, scheduled backups are turned off by default.
  • Migrate to new authentication API: We’re deprecating com.atlassian.crowd.manager.authentication.TokenAuthenticationManager. As a more secure alternative, use com.atlassian.crowd.service.authentication.CrowdApplicationAuthenticationService to authenticate and logout users to Crowd.
