Bitbucket Data Center and Server 7.15 release notes
27 July 2021
Introducing Bitbucket Data Center 7.15.
Highlights include:
Control what happens with source branches when merging a pull request
DATA CENTER SERVER
Avoid accidental deletion of source branches when merging a pull request using the new default option for (1) Branch deletion on merge. We’ve renamed the ‘Branching model’ page to ‘Branches’ and added this option with the default set to Off. This means that the Delete after merging setting will be defaulted to not delete the source branch when users merge a pull request.
From the project or repository settings, admins can determine whether they want to set the default to On or Off. Users can still change or override the setting in the Merge pull request dialog.
Analyze your pull request activity over time
DATA CENTER
We’re continuing to improve the data pipeline, which allows you to export Bitbucket data for analysis in your favorite business intelligence tool.
Export pull request activity
To help you dive even deeper into your data, we now export historical pull request data. The new pull request activity file contains the information you see in the Activity section of the pull request overview tab.
Changes that happened before the scope of the export (before the fromDate, or more than 12 months ago if you did not set a fromDate) are not included.
Exporting the pull request activity for all pull requests will increase the export duration. If you don’t need this data, you can also choose to exclude it.

What else is new?
You can now create a new repository directly from Administration
> Repositories > Create repository.Since Bitbucket 7.0, pull request diffs wrap lines that are too long, removing the need for horizontal scrolling. You can now disable word wrapping in the unified diff from the Diff view settings
