K-SSO version 8

K-SSO version 8

Update notes

This major version is released to account for major changes in the following Atlassian product releases:

  • Jira 11,

  • Confluence 10,

  • Bitbucket 10, and

  • Bamboo 11

Together, these releases constitute Platform 8, a major platform change across all Atlassian Data Center products.

Caution is recommended before upgrading due to the many under-the-hood changes. Make sure to thoroughly test this major version in a test environment before upgrading in production.

New version format

To account for support on three different “platforms” with breaking changes, we have made a change to the version number format. The old version format used the major version number to signify a difference between platform 6 and 7. Now releases for all platforms have the same version number in K-SSO, instead using a suffix to show compatibility. In this major release, we have feature-copies built for each of the three currently supported Atlassian Data Center platforms, ranging three major versions as shown in suffices. The versions tagged with the suffix .p6 are compatible with the oldest versions that are not EOL, .p7 with major releases introduced in 2024, and .p8 with the major releases introduced in 2025. See the table below for details of compatibility. The version format is now <major>.<minor>.<patch>.<platform modifier>.
