EAP - Confluence 6.13.0-beta1 Release Notes

For the full run-down on features in this release, head to Confluence 6.13.0-beta Release Notes.

Delete user accounts

In this release we've added the ability to permanently delete a user account and anonymise the personally identifiable information associated with it. When a user's account is deleted we will:

delete their personal information (such as their profile details)

replace their profile picture (avatar)

replace their username with a user key

replace their full name with an alias (such as 'user-12345')

reindex any content they've contributed to or been mentioned on, so their name doesn't appear in search results.

See Delete or Disable Users in our EAP documentation to find out more about how it works.

If your app displays people's names or usernames (think places like mentions, or the page byline), you should test how it behaves when a user has been deleted.  If you listen for a delete user event, for whatever reason, you should also check that this still works as expected.

EAP - Confluence 6.9.0-m61

Editor footer changes

We've made some changes to the editor footer.  A new ellipsis menu provides options to preview, view a diff of unpublished changes, revert back to the last published version, and, if the page has never been published, delete the unpublished page.  The close button now just closes the editor. There is no longer an option to discard changes on the way out.

Read-only mode changes

In milestone 43 we mentioned a known issue with the @BypassReadOnlyAccess annotation.  This has been replaced by @ReadOnlyAccessAllowed which can be used to allow POST/PUT/DELETE requests, when necessary.

By default we allow GET requests through the filter/interceptor, but have now also added a new  @ReadOnlyAccessBlocked annotation which can be used in the rare case you do need to block GET requests.  

Our developer documentation How to make your add-on compatible with read-only mode will be updated shortly.

EAP - Confluence 6.14.0-beta Release Notes

Atlassian presents Confluence 6.14.0-beta1. This is a snapshot of our work in progress, primarily focused on providing app developers an opportunity to test their apps and make any required changes in advance of an official release.

Confluence 6.14.0-beta1 is available to download now.

Development releases are not production ready. Development releases are snapshots of the ongoing Confluence development process. While we try to keep these releases stable, they have not undergone the same degree of testing as a full release, and could contain features that are incomplete or may change or be removed before the next full release.

No upgrade path. Because development releases represent work in progress, we cannot provide a supported upgrade path between development releases, or from any development release to a final release. You may not be able to migrate any data you store in a Confluence development release to a future Confluence release.

Atlassian does not provide support for development releases.

Issues with this beta? Please raise an issue to tell us about it.

Highlights of 6.14.0-beta1

Released 9 January 2019

Find work faster with the new Confluence search

We know how important it is to quickly find the right content in Confluence to get work done. In this release, we've introduced a new search experience, making it easier to search, filter and find the information you need to keep work moving forward.

Search for anything

The previous quick navigation feature restricted your search to titles, displaying a limited set of results based on the name of the page, file, space or user.

Based on your feedback, we’ve changed this in the new Confluence search, replacing quick navigation with an expanded search view displaying more results. As you type, Confluence now performs a full search of your site content, so you're more likely to find a match first go.

Quickly refine results with filters

We've also added interactive search filters, so you can easily narrow down your results in a few clicks. Limit your results to a particular space, contributor, time frame, or type — such as attached files, comments or blog posts — or search for items containing a specific label.

The existing advanced search page is still available, and easy to access via a link in the search panel. Head to our search guide for a full overview.

Massive editor improvements

When an editing experience is smooth and trouble-free you hardly notice it. So we're really hoping you notice nothing at all about our new upgraded editor.

We've made a huge number of improvements, including solving common frustrations relating to table cells, bullet points, and cursor behaviour, especially when copying and pasting content. The look of the editor hasn't changed, the improvements are all under the hood.

Why not give our upgraded editor a try. Side effects include getting work done, and an overwhelming sense of calm.

Keep your ancestors table healthy

The parent and child relationship between pages (the page hierarchy) is stored in a table in the database. Any problems with the data in this table can result in page restrictions not being inherited correctly.

There's now a scheduled job to find and repair any problems in the CONFANCESTORS table on a regular basis. The job runs once each day, and will keep your pages in order.

Delete profile picture

Administrators can now delete a user's profile picture. This will delete both their current profile picture, and any others they may have uploaded in the past.

Simply search for the user then hit Delete Profile Picture.

Simpler onboarding for new users

We’ve made it quicker and easier for new people to get started on your Confluence site. Previously, we prompted new users to upload a profile picture and watch some spaces. We now greet them with a simplified 'Welcome to Confluence' message, so they get to know your site before deciding which spaces to watch.

More ways to edit files

In 6.11, we introduced an easier way to update attached files, allowing you to edit the file in its native desktop application, then seamlessly save the changes back to Confluence.

The edit feature was previously only available if you opened the file in preview first. We've now added the edit option to the attachments page, Attachments macro and View File macros (1), so you can update files with fewer clicks.

Number your PDFs the easy way

When you export a space to PDF you can now choose to add page numbers with just one click. Numbers will be be placed in the centre of the footer on the PDF file.

Supported platforms changes

No changes planned for this release

Infrastructure changes

EAP - Confluence 7.0.1-m110 Release Notes

AUI and jQuery upgrade

We're continuing to work on upgrading AUI and jQuery. The AUI and jQuery changes will be in all EAP milestones from now on. We have a few known issues which we'll continue to work through over the next few releases.

Zepto replaced by jQuery in Confluence mobile

The Confluence Mobile UI now uses jQuery 2.2.4 instead of Zepto.js 0.8. This means the Confluence Mobile Web Plugin can pull in any dependencies from Confluence or the AUI plugin without the risk of polluting the global $ variable.

The Mobile Web view uses Backbone 0.9.2. The Backbone view extend method doesn't support jQuery object as an element property.

Backbone.View.extend({    // ...    el: $(".css-selector")[0] // native dom only for Backbone 0.9.2    // ... }

As part of this work, we've also removed the following Zepto-specific functions:

$.cookie has been replaced by AJS.cookie

$.visible() has been removed. Use $.filter(":visible").length instead.

If your app currently uses the Mobile Web Plugin, you may need to modify anything that's specific to Zepto.

Changes to file editing with custom SSO authenticators

We've changed the way Confluence handles the download and re-upload of files via the Companion app for instances with SSO (Single Sign On) authentication. If you manage or develop a custom SSO authenticator app, we recommend testing the Edit files experience to check your app is compatible with the changes.

EAP - Confluence 7.0.1-m92 Release Notes

This milestone contains our latest batch of changes related to the AUI 8 upgrade:

$.fn.enable() and $.fn.disable() are now deprecated. We recommend using the new methods disableElement and enableElement from AMD module confluence/form-state-control. The web-resource has the key com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-frontend:form-state-control

As usual, we document these changes each week in our Confluence AUI upgrade guide. There are still a number of known issues, which we'll be fixing over the coming weeks. Some issues to be aware of:

The date picker component may not work correctly in the editor.

Some dropdown buttons have extra space between the title and chevron icon.

There may be some minor visual glitches in messages on the UPM screen.

Secondary tabs (for example, on the Space Details screen) render as bullet points instead of tabs.

After uploading a new plugin, the 'Upload new plugin' button may not appear.

EAP - Confluence 7.0.1-m88 Release Notes

In this milestone we've added two new scheduled jobs that can be used to evict Synchrony change logs.

Related to this work, the editor will now ask users to confirm a page reload. This is to make sure we are able to sync changes back to the draft when someone leaves the editor unexpectedly. If your app performs a page reload in the editor for any reason, you should initiate this save.  Refer to the summary at the top of this page for details.
