This page last changed on Mar 02, 2011 by smaddox.
Below are some essential notes on upgrading to Confluence 3.0. For details of the new features and improvements in this release, please read the Confluence 3.0 Release Notes. On this page: Upgrade NotesAnonymous Access to User ProfilesConfluence 3.0 introduces a new Anonymous Access Global Permission, View User Profiles, which prevents individuals who have not logged in to Confluence from viewing other users profiles. This permission, which is accessible from the Administration Console was introduced to protect the identity and security of Confluence user accounts and details associated with the Confluence 3.0 Community-based features. In all new installations of Confluence 3.0, this permission is disabled for Anonymous users by default, such that an individual will not be able to view another user's profile details until they have logged in to Confluence. PluginsIf you are having trouble with any screens in Confluence 3.0, which could be related to potentially incompatible or unsupported third-party plugins, try using the plugin safe mode to disable all unsupported plugins. The Usage Tracking Plugin is disabled by defaultDue to performance issues in high load environments, the Confluence Usage Tracking Plugin is disabled by default in Confluence 3.0. While upgrading to Confluence 3, the plugin will be turned off even if it was active before. We do still deliver the plugin as part of Confluence (and have even improved its performance since 2.10), so if you don't have a high load environment and are happy with the performance of the plugin, you can easily reactivate this plugin through the Administration Console.
