Hi @Kat Warner,

Thanks for the information. I was looking for what's new in Atlassian, especially in Jira tools area. Please let me know if you can publish the presentation after the event.

I have not joined the Slack group. Could you please forward me the link to the same.

Thanks,

Atlassian - what's new and what's coming soon

Atlassian Summit 2019 Recap

#1 highlight - SWAG. Also known as 'stuff we all get', is a fun part of any expo experience.

• There were over 1000 vendors and 5000 attendees.
• The top tip I learnt was for Tempo in Jira  Duplicate Tempo timesheet entries (like daily standup) by holding down the Option/Windows key and dragging the entry you want to copy to the place you want to copy it to.
• The Cloud platforms are on a path to be able to support Enterprise-sized organisations.
• Enterprise releases will be announced in advanced.
• Enterprise releases only apply to Confluence, Jira Software and Jira Service Desk. The enterprise recommendation for Bitbucket is n-1 based on the minor version (i.e. the latest release is Bitbucket Server 6.2 and the enterprise recommended version is Bitbucket Server 6.1).

Latest versions

• Confluence 6.15, Jira Software 8.2, and Jira Service Desk 4.2 are the latest version releases.
• Confluence 6.13, Jira Software 7.13, and Jira Service Desk 3.16 are the current enterprise releases.
• Jira Software 8.5 & Jira Service Desk 4.5 are targeting Q3 2019.

Note: Upgrades have been recommended by Atlassian in security advisories in the last 6 months:

• March 2019, Sourcetree (CVE-2018-20234, CVE-2018-20235, CVE-2018-17456, and CVE-2018-20236)
• March 2019, Confluence Server (CVE-2019-3395 and CVE-2019-3396)
• April 2019, Confluence Server (CVE-2019-3398)
