Upgrade NotesNew License Key Requirements for Confluence 3.1
We have undertaken this change to enhance and improve the support we provide our customers. Bear in mind that this license upgrade will not incur any additional costs and does not change Confluence's functionality in any way. Upgrading an Existing Confluence License for Confluence 3.1 CompatibilityThis procedure can only be performed by Confluence Administrators. To upgrade your existing license to the new license key format, which will be required for continued use of Confluence 3.1:
Custom layouts must be re-implemented after upgrading ConfluenceIf you have customised your Main Layout on either the space or the global level, or if you have a custom theme plugin, the new Link to this Page, Page Restrictions and 'Move Page' dialog box features in Confluence 3.1 will not work immediately for you. Other Issues: If you do not re-implement your custom layouts after upgrading to Confluence 3.1, the following may occur:
Depending on the version of Confluence you upgraded from and the customisations that had been implemented, other user interface problems or problems with Confluence's functionality may be found. To re-implement your custom layouts, please refer to Upgrading Custom Layouts for details on retrieving the customisations made to your layouts and re-implementing them into your upgraded version of Confluence. Customers running Confluence on Weblogic are required to specify the prefer-web-inf-classes element in the weblogic.xml file prior to upgrading ConfluenceIf you are a customer running Confluence on Weblogic, then before upgrading to Confluence 3.1, you must ensure that the prefer-web-ing-classes element in the weblogic.xml file has been specified with the content value of true. For more information, please refer to Installing Confluence EAR-WAR on Weblogic. To do this:
The Drag-and-Drop feature disables the ability to drag and drop links or text in Firefox 3.0Some browsers like Firefox and Safari allow Confluence users to create links easily by dragging and dropping hyperlinks from other web pages directly into the rich text editor window. This browser-specific feature also allows the rearrangement of text when editing Confluence wiki page content, by highlighting text and dragging and dropping it elsewhere. However, the Confluence 3.1 Drag-and-Drop feature is not compatible with these link creation and text rearrangement features of Firefox 3.0 and setting up Confluence's Drag-and-drop feature will disable these Firefox 3.0 features. To allow the Confluence 3.1 Drag-and-Drop feature to work together with these link creation and text rearrangement features of Firefox, upgrade your Firefox browser to version 3.5. Clarification of supported user management configurations in ConfluenceIn Confluence 3.1, Atlassian is clarifying our support for user management configurations and code-level customisations. This is being done so that we can deliver significant improvements in our user management performance and configuration in a future release. Confluence is fully supported with the following configurations provided and documented by Atlassian:
Unfortunately, we cannot offer complete support for code-level customisations in our user management system. The following caveats apply to customers who are using extensions to our user management systems:
Advance warning: In Confluence 3.2, Atlassian will be removing functionality required for custom OSUser providers. From this point, custom OSUser providers will not work correctly with Confluence 3.2, so we recommend porting any custom OSUser providers to the Atlassian-User interfaces as part of your Confluence upgrade process.
