Confluence Docs 3.1 : Release Notes
This page last changed on Dec 08, 2009 by ggaskell.
Confluence 3.1With great pleasure, Atlassian presents Confluence 3.1. Confluence 3.1 is a major release which presents a number of new features and enhancements. With Confluence 3.1, we introduce OpenSocial Gadgets, which allow you to add functionality from other web applications or websites, such as JIRA 4.0+, iGoogle or Gmail, directly into a Confluence page or blog post. Confluence also provides its own Gadgets that can be embedded into other web applications. The new Drag-and-Drop feature is a major step forward in Confluence file attachment. With Drag-and-Drop, you can attach one or more files to a page or blog post simply by dragging them from your desktop onto the Confluence page. You can also embed images, Office documents and PDF files into a page or blog post while in edit mode simply by dragging and dropping them into the rich text editor. Office 2007 documents are now fully supported in Confluence so features like document import, edit in Word and embedding documents in a page now work with Office 2007 files. With the new Move Page feature, you can more quickly and reliably move the page you are editing or viewing to a new parent page, even to one within a new space. An enhanced Image Browser lets you preview images before embedding them into a page. You can also attach image files to a page by dragging and dropping them into the Image Browser window itself. A new Page Restrictions dialog lets you view and apply page restrictions without editing the page. Draft Comparisons allow you to view changes made to a page or blog post before they are actually saved. Other editor enhancements include Exit Notifications to prevent the loss of unsaved content in a page, blog post or comment, a new Insert Menu for the rich text editor, fields that auto-complete in the macro browser and improved rich text editor speed. Confluence 3.1 now fully supports Internet Explorer 8, Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5. Other smaller improvements include the ability to add pages or blog posts directly from the Confluence dashboard, a facility to link to Confluence pages more easily and the ability to expand activity streams at the click of a button. Finally, we have also introduced a simplified installation process for evaluators to help get Confluence up and running quickly. Simplified Confluence evaluation installers have been created for MacOS X and Windows operating systems. Read the complete full release notes here. All Release Notes
