YACC v3.0.7 Version 3.0.7 is a re-release of the updates offered in versions 3.0.1 to 3.0.6. **Version information** | | | | --- | --- | | Version | 3.0.7 | | Release date | 2024-02-19 | | Supported platforms | Bitbucket Data Center 5.2.0 - 8.19.5
Bitbucket Server 5.2.0 - 8.19.5 | **Resolved issues** | **Description** | | --- | | Version 3.0.7 includes the following corrections:
- Minor issues regarding the handling of the **Jira App***** ***field and **Exclude Users** have been present since v3.0.1. To avoid multiple upgrades, we have included the pre-upgrade preparations from versions 3.0.6, 3.0.5, 3.0.4 and 3.0.1 to version 3.0.7. Because of this, those earlier versions will no longer be available.
If you currently have one of the earlier versions installed, it will continue to work as expected. However, we do encourage you to upgrade to the latest version.
> ℹ️ Upgrading to version 3.0.7 involves an app db migration. Customers with a large number of repositories can experience a longer upgrade completion time, up to several hours in some cases. During the upgrade, if the **Exclude User** field is in use, it will not be applied to a repository until that repository’s settings are migrated. This means that Yet Another Commit Checker will block commits for users excluded from checks if their commits don’t match the rules. Otherwise, the upgrade process runs in the background and will not disrupt other normal operations of the app. Do not interrupt the upgrade process.
Version 3.0.7 includes the following updates previously offered in releases 3.0.1 to 3.0.6:
- **3.0.6** - To better identify the purpose of the field, the **Overridden Username** field, located in the YACC Configuration *Advanced Options* tab, has been changed to **Jira Authentication User**. Additionally, a brief description of the field has been added. When enabled, this feature allows you to use the Jira account associated with the name entered in the field for Jira requests. - **3.0.5** - Addresses an issue with the Overridden username feature. The feature now uses the User ID, rather than the Username. It retrieves the user id associated with the username and replaces that information in the database. - **3.0.4** - Introduces support for excluding personal repositories from checks made by Yet Another Commit Checker. This allows organizations to define more rules at the Global level while reducing the number of exceptions encountered by personal repositories that should not be included in those checks. - **3.0.1** - Contains a small update to provide fixes related to exclude user functionality.
If you are currently using one of these versions, download version 3.0.7. |
