アップグレード ノート
The following upgrade notes are specific to Bamboo 3.4.
- EC2 Security - when using Elastic Bamboo it's no longer necessary to open any inbound ports to your Bamboo Server instance. To increase security of your server, please remove any firewall exceptions you may have added.
- EC2 Security Groups - if you've customized the security groups for Bamboo by removing ingress rules, note that as of Bamboo 3.4, Bamboo will keep the security group synchronized with its default settting - i.e. you will not be able to remove SSH, RDP and Bamboo tunnel ingress rules from the security group definition. You will still be able to add new ingress rules and your existing rules will be kept.
- Improved Git support - to use the improved Git support, configure a Git capability on the agent. If you don't have a native Git client installed on your agent, Bamboo will automatically fall back to its embedded Git implementation.
- Bamboo WAR instances installed in Tomcat - after running the upgrade process, make sure you will apply the recommendations from this KB article.

Notes for upgrading from a version of Bamboo prior to 2.7.4
- You will need to upgrade to Bamboo 2.7.4 before upgrading to Bamboo 3.4. If you are using a version of Bamboo earlier than 2.6.3, we recommend that you upgrade to it before upgrading to Bamboo 2.7.4. Bamboo 2.6.3 can be downloaded from the Bamboo Archived Downloads page. Bamboo 2.7.x introduces a number of significant and irreversible changes, so a phased upgrade is recommended. Please see the Bamboo 2.7.x Upgrade Guide for more details.
- You will need to set aside time, as described in the Bamboo 2.7.x Upgrade Guide, for Bamboo to migrate existing Plans to the new Plan structure in Bamboo 2.7.4.
- If you are upgrading from Bamboo 2.5 or earlier, you will need to set aside time, as described in the Bamboo 2.6 Upgrade Guide for Bamboo to migrate its test result data (stored in XML files on the filesystem) into the database.
- If you are upgrading from a version of Bamboo prior to 2.0, you must upgrade to Bamboo 2.0.6 first before upgrading to Bamboo 2.6 (2.7.4?). Please read the Bamboo 2.0 Upgrade Guide for important upgrade instructions for upgrading from earlier versions of Bamboo.
