Milestone release advisory
For all production use and testing of Confluence, please use the latest official release. Who should upgrade?
Our milestone releases aim to provide plugin developers with an opportunity to see the latest changes in the code. Each milestone release has passed all our automatic tests, and has been used for one week on our official internal Confluence server. Most of the issues solved have been reviewed too, and all of our milestone releases even have been performance-tested for a while. However, since our milestones releases are timeboxed (i.e. they get released every two weeks, no matter how far we have come implementing features and bugfixes), there is always a chance that we have new known bugs, which are scheduled to be fixed in the next milestone, or completely new bugs unknown even to us. Additionally, our performance-testing and compatibility testing for databases and application servers is not done to the full extent. So, for example, a milestone release might behave well on a small installation but show severe problems when subjected to many users. Upgrade ProcedureFollow the normal upgrade instructions to upgrade from Confluence 3.0.x to this release. We strongly recommend that you backup your confluence-home directory and database before upgrading! DownloadsAll development releases are available from Development Releases on the Atlassian website. Maintenance mainlyMilestones 2 and 3 don't have many feature-changes, because a lot of the development happens on branches and under the hood. We have been doing some UI polish, but nothing large is to be seen yet. We did however split up resource-loading, so CSS is now at the top of the page, and JS is at the bottom, resulting in faster page views. If you are a plugin author using resource bundles and JS/CSS (which you should, obviouslu), then definitely check out this milestone to see if your plugin works as expected. Stay tuned for M4 in about two weeks, which will show off some nice new feature improvements. Cheers, |
