We always are sensitive to upward compatibility of our offerings and specifically want to make sure CLI scripts are as upward compatible as possible at least with the respect to those aspects that are under our control. Most of our actions remain compatible across a wide range of Atlassian application releases and even to some degree across Server and Cloud environments. However, on a CLI version boundary, we do take the opportunity to remove previously deprecated support or make some changes especially where it will simplify new user experiences and remove clutter for users. This page describes some of the important changes to be aware of when upgrading to 9.x from 8.x or earlier.

Start Scripts and Configuration
...
With CLI 9.x, we are discontinuing providing legacy start scripts in the distribution in favor a much simpler start script that optionally supports a saved configuration. Start scripts continue to be customizable and users can continue to use their existing customizations with only minor changes if they want or they can adopt the new start script layout and take advantage of the configuration options available with the new support. We strongly recommend adopting the acli style start script and configuration now available in the distribution.
Migrating Legacy Start Scripts
Many people continue to use the original jira, confluence, or similar start scripts that have been in the distribution since the beginning. Some may have switched over to and customized the atlassian start script
