Bitrise Docs changelog

Manage Remote Dev Environments access from Collaboration

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT

RDE is now a standalone product in workspace collaboration: grant or revoke the **RDE User** role for members and groups from the **Collaboration** page, or assign it through SCIM with `rde:rde_admin`. See [Managing RDE access](/bitrise-rde/configuration/managing-rde-access).

Utility builds beta for Pro plans

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Short Linux builds that run on the Linux Small machine type don't count against your build quota during the beta. See [Utility builds](/bitrise-ci/run-and-analyze-builds/utility-builds).

Edit modular YAML in the Workflow Editor

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The Workflow Editor now loads every module of a configuration split with the `include` keyword, shows the merged result, and pushes your changes back to your repository in one step. See [Editing a modular configuration in the Workflow Editor](/bitrise-ci/configure-builds/configuration-yaml/editing-a-modular-configuration-in-the-workflow-editor).

Linux tooling steps scoped to the Docker-based image

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The tooling-access steps for Build Hub Linux machines apply only to the deprecated Docker-based image. If you use `linux-bitvirt-2026`, you can skip them. See [Configuring Build Hub for GitHub Actions](/bitrise-build-hub/build-hub-for-github-actions/configuring-build-hub-for-github-actions#enabling-linux-machines-to-access-tooling).

Select Bazel RBE worker pools by name

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Remote Build Execution for Bazel now routes builds with a single `Pool=` execution property, instead of separate architecture and OS properties.

CodePush SDK setup steps rewritten

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The React Native and Expo setup guides now match the current CodePush SDK, with the Expo instructions first. See [Configuring your mobile app for CodePush](/release-management/codepush/configuring-your-app-for-codepush).

Configuration YAML reference gains missing limits

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The reference now documents the `status_report_name` and `parallel` limits, trigger priority, and the values `should_always_run` actually accepts.

Workspace invitations can be rate-limited

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Invitations sent from Workspaces on non-paid plans may be rate-limited. See [Workspace collaboration](/bitrise-platform/workspaces/collaboration-and-permissions-in-workspaces/workspace-collaboration).

Building a Slack-native coding agent

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

A new recipe walks through a reference architecture for a Slack-native coding agent: a locked-down orchestrator that delegates coding work to disposable Remote Dev Environments, plus an open source reference implementation you can try. See [Building a Slack-native coding agent](/bitrise-rde/recipes/building-a-slack-native-coding-agent-recipe).

Product subscriptions can now be canceled independently

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Each product (Bitrise CI, Build Cache, Release Management, and so on) has its own independently cancellable subscription, and add-ons can be canceled on their own too. The docs now walk through the updated **Plan & Billing** cancellation flow. See [Workspace billing and invoicing](/bitrise-platform/workspaces/workspace-billing-and-invoicing).

Bitrise MCP server drops self-registration tools

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

GitHub App integration: event subscriptions clarified

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The [GitHub App integration](/bitrise-platform/repository-access/github-app-integration) page now has an Event subscriptions section explaining that the Bitrise GitHub App subscribes to `push`, `pull_request`, and `issue_comment` events via GitHub's app installation mechanism, not through repo-level webhooks. The section also warns that any existing manual webhooks pointing to `hooks.bitrise.io` must be removed after switching to the GitHub App to avoid duplicate builds.

Bitrise MCP: new registration tools and API group

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The Bitrise MCP server now includes a `registration` API group with two unauthenticated tools — `register` and `verify_registration` — that let an AI agent onboard a brand-new Bitrise user without a token. The agent sends a one-time password to the user's email via `register`, then calls `verify_registration` with the OTP to receive a personal access token. These tools are most useful with the remote (HTTP) MCP server. See [Bitrise MCP tools](/bitrise-platform/ai/bitrise-mcp/tools) for the full reference.

Bitrise MCP: install guides added for six tools

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Each guide covers how to configure the MCP server and authenticate with your Bitrise token. See [Bitrise MCP](/bitrise-platform/ai/bitrise-mcp) to get started.
