Changes in 2.2.3

As part of a new process for pushing out bug fix releases more quickly, this release follows just a week after the release of 2.2.2. Six issues were resolved between Confluence 2.2.2 and 2.2.3. For a complete list, see: Issues resolved for 2.2.3

Global Permissions

  • A security problem was identified where unauthorised users could modify global permissions. For more information, including details on how to patch previous Confluence versions, please see the security advisory

Backup/Restore

  • An issue was resolved where attachments were not imported from space exports. Existing backup files are still valid, the error was only during the re-importing process – CONF-6286

External user management

  • Queries to LDAP repositories are now correctly escaped, so user and group names may contain commas – USER-106

Other

  • (UI) Fixed parent link in preview of new page – CONF-6275
  • (authentication) Fixed incorrect redirect from login when base URL contained an extra slash – CONF-6261
