Release notes 3.4
2013-04-26
Compatibility
The Atlassian Command Line Interface (CLI) supports a large range of product releases. The matrix below provides compatibility guidelines based on testing, API compatibility information provided in Atlassian, and community feedback. User's are encourage to help improve compatibility information through discussions and issues. The CLI also works with releases not officially listed here since in many cases it uses remote APIs provided by Atlassian that have been stable for many years. Check previous versions of the CLI for coverage of earlier releases. Users should verify their usage scenarios on new releases. Support normally is limited to minimum releases indicated. Client requires Java 1.6 (recommended) or above. Testing is only done on Java 1.6. In some cases, new actions are only available on later versions of the server - these are usually noted in the documentation.
To simplify the matrix, we are no longer listing much older releases even though there is some level of compatibility for these as well. Refer to Compatibility - 3.2 for information on older releases.
See also Compatibility for overall information on supported Atlassian releases.

Highlights of Atlassian Command Line Interface (CLI) 3.4
New Run CLI Actions in Stash add-on for Stash
Stash repository hooks can now drive automation with other Atlassian products. See Run CLI Actions in Bitbucket for more information.
Atlassian plugin approval required
Add-on will be available to the public once approved.
New Atlassian Command Line Interface (CLI) client
For some advanced scenarios, it is helpful to be able to run multiple product actions as part of a single action script. The Atlassian (or all) client provides this capability.
