You shouldn’t have to hunt through a cluttered dashboard to understand where your code is deployed. The Deployments page is where teams turn for a quick answer: what is in test, what is in staging, what reached production, and what needs attention right now. The older page made that harder than it needed to be. Our new Pipelines Deployments page makes it easier to scan, filter, and act on.

Tracking tests on non-default branches was one of the most requested capabilities during the Bitbucket Tests (beta). We heard you, and today, we’re shipping it. Most teams don’t ship from main. Integration happens on develop, stabilisation on staging, releases cut from release. Until now, Bitbucket Tests only tracked the tests from default(main) branch, leaving the branches that actually matter invisible. Multiple branch tracking in Tests changes that.

We launched Bitbucket Packages to give teams one place to manage code, pipelines, and artifacts, and we’ve been expanding it ever since, first with Maven and npm, then PyPI and NuGet. Every one of those packages has shared one trait: it lives inside a single repository and inherits that repository’s permissions. Most of the time, that’s exactly what you want. But it also means sharing a package across repositories has meant granting people access to source code they never needed to see.

You shouldn’t have to grant full repository admin rights just to let an engineer or release manager trigger a deployment. To solve the all-or-nothing access problem, Bitbucket Pipelines introduces custom deployment permissions (Beta). You can now gate specific environments to authorized users and groups, ensuring safer releases and easier compliance. Left: Add users and groups to gate deployments for this environment.

In January we launched Tests in Bitbucket Pipelines – a single place to track, organize, and understand your test health over time. In April we added automatic flaky test detection so unreliable tests get flagged before they slow your team down. But spotting a problem is only half the battle. Day to day, your team still needs to act on a test – track it as work, clean it up, or route it to the right person.

Earlier this year, we launched Merge Queues in open beta to help teams automate, sequence, and validate pull request merges. During the beta period, we incorporated feedback from hundreds of teams to improve reliability and simplify configuration. Today, we are excited to announce that Merge Queues is generally available for Standard and Premium plans on Bitbucket Cloud.

Bring your Codex agent into Bitbucket Pipelines. A few weeks ago, we announced support for Claude agents in Bitbucket Pipelines. Today, we’re adding OpenAI Codex as a supported agent. If your team is already using Codex on the desktop, you can now move that same workflow into your pipeline — triggered by a merge, a schedule, a failing build, or a pull request comment.

In November 2025, we introduced new triggers and workflows to Bitbucket Pipelines to help teams manage and scale complex CI/CD workflows. We later extended that foundation with additional event-based triggers for pipeline, deployment, and pull request events. We’re now extending that model with a new package-artifact-created trigger.

When we introduced native Pipelines authentication for Bitbucket Packages, we made it easier to publish artifacts from CI/CD without relying on personal credentials. Now we’re extending that integration further: package artifacts published through the Pipelines integration can display a Source Pipeline, making it easy to trace an artifact back to the pipeline run that created it.

If your team bIf your team builds with Python or.NET, your packages have likely lived separately from your code, stored in a registry with distinct login, permissions, and billing. Starting today, they don’t have to. Bitbucket Packages now supports the Python Package Index (PyPI) and NuGet, integrating Python and.NET package management into the platform where your team writes code, reviews pull requests, and runs pipelines.
