Confluence 2.1.5 is a maintenance release that resolves some issues users may have encountered using Confluence 2.1.4 or earlier.
Confluence 2.1.5 fixes around 50 issues, including a number of fixes for LDAP support, the WYSIWYG editor, and other areas.
2.1.5 is a free upgrade for all customers who purchased their Confluence license after March 16th, 2005.

Confluence 2.1.5 has a problem which disables the rich text editor link dialog. Please replace  the file WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/confluence/user/actions/PagePickerAction.properties with this file: PagePickerAction.properties

This is fixed in 2.1.5a.

Known Issues in 2.1.5a

Anonymous users may get a Javascript error under some circumstances. See CONF-5765 for details and a patch.

When using LDAP user management, changing passwords for local users won't work. See CONF-5775 for details and a patch.

Who should upgrade?

Confluence 2.1.5 fixes a number of bugs found in Confluence 2.1.4 and earlier. Customers are recommended to upgrade if they are experiencing any of the issues fixed in this release.

Confluence is a recommended upgrade for all customers using Confluence's new atlassian-user LDAP user management, as it fixes important issues related to LDAP integration.

PagePickerAction.properties (application/octet-stream)

Is PagePickerAction.properties the only changed file between 2.1.5 & 2.1.5a?

I was hoping to just copy that file into my 2.1.5 installation rather than do a full upgrade.

Thanks.

Yes, that's the only change.

We're running Confluence 1.4.3 and want to upgrade to 2.1.5a. I've tried to do so, and have run into various problems. Is there a recommended upgrade path in this situation - like, first install 2.0, then 2.1, then 2.1.5??

Thanks for the help.

Your best bet is to file a support request at http://support.atlassian.com, and attach the logfiles from your failed upgrade. A support tech will be able to walk you through the best way to get it up and running.
