リリース ノート 2.3

After much hard toil from the Confluence developers we are happy, nay ecstatic, to announce the availability of Confluence 2.3 (known affectionately as Snowy).Snowy is the eighth major update to Confluence. It supports clustered deployment as 'Confluence Massive', and introduces a people directory, activity statistics plugin, personal timezone preferences, and the ability to access Confluence via the Metaweblog and WebDAV APIs.
Confluence 2.3 is a free upgrade for any customer who purchased Confluence after January 4th, 2006.

Confluence 2.2.x からのアップグレード

Upgrading Confluence should be fairly straightforward: you can find instructions here. We strongly recommend that you backup your confluence.home directory and database before upgrading!

Upgrading from Confluence 2.1 and earlier

Users upgrading directly from 2.1 or earlier should also read the 2.2 Release Notes for caveats regarding the 2.1 -> 2.2 upgrade.

新機能

Confluence Massive

Confluence はクラスタ化可能なアプリケーションになりました。つまり、1 つのロードバランサーの背後で複数の Confluence サーバーを実行して、高可用性を実現し、単一サーバーの容量を超えて Confluence を拡張できます。

Confluence Massive uses Tangosol Coherence to share data between nodes (and many other things besides).

If you are thinking of running Confluence in a cluster, and need to know what is required and how it works, you can read Technical Overview of Clustering in Confluence.

You can find instructions for installing a Confluence cluster here: Confluence cluster installation.

ユーザー ディレクトリ

In version 2.2 (Shoalhaven), we added personal spaces to Confluence. Because of the potential for the proliferation of personal spaces we kept them off the Dashboard and search results by default, but this made it quite hard to find people in a Confluence site.

The People Directory, which you can find linked from the bottom of the Dashboard, gives you a way to browse through the other people who use a Confluence instance, their profiles and personal spaces.

If you find people whose personal spaces you want to follow, you can mark them as favourites from the people directory. This will add their personal spaces to your 'My' tab on the Dashboard, and will also make sure they're included when you search or make RSS feeds from your favourite spaces.

アクティビティ トラッキング

The activity plugin lets you know what's happening in Confluence: how many pages are being visited or edited in each space or across the whole site, which spaces or pages are the busiest, who are the most prolific editors.

[Browse Space (スペースを参照)] で 1 つのスペースについて、または管理コンソールから全体のアクティビティ統計を表示できます。

このプラグインは、Confluence ページに使用状況データを埋め込むマクロ: {usage}、{popular}、{topusers} も提供しています。

Blogger と MetaWeblog API のサポート

Confluence 2.3 bundles the Blogging RPC Plugin. This allows users to manage their News in Confluence using one of the many available blogger-compatible desktop clients.

You can read more about this plugin, including instructions for setting up various blogging clients for use with Confluence, on the plugin information page.

WebDAV Client Support

Confluence WebDAV プラグインによって、ユーザーは WebDAV プロトコルを使用して Confluence を共有ドライブとしてマウントできます。

This provides a familiar interface for anyone who uses Confluence as a repository for files: you can browse your wiki straight from Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder; view Word or PDF versions of pages; upload attachments and edit attachments in place; create, edit and move pages.

For more information on the WebDAV plugin, check out: WebDAV Plugin

WebDAV is supported natively in Windows XP (as "Web Folders") and Mac OS X, although there are third-party clients that may provide different functionality or compatibility. We have a compatibility matrix if you're interested.

改善点

プラグイン

• Adaptivist's fantastic Plugin Repository Client is bundled with Confluence.
• User Macro Module​ allow you to share user macros more easily.
• Lifecycle Module​ allow you to hook into Confluence startup and shutdown.
• Events are now produced when themes are applied, or colour-schemes modified.
• Confluence now ships with 'bundled' plugins that are installed when Confluence is installed, but are not hard-coded into the application (so they can be upgraded without upgrading Confluence).
• プラグイン リソースが Last-Modified ヘッダーと ETag ヘッダーを適切に設定したため、ブラウザによって条件付きで取得されるようになりました
• Confluence は完全に Maven 2 を使用して構築されるようになりました。これについては、間もなく追加される予定です。

その他の変更

• Users can now choose to have dates and times displayed in their own timezone instead of the server's - CONF-1026.
• ほとんどの Confluence 設定データはファイル システムからデータベースに移動されました。
• The Clickr Theme is bundled with Confluence.
• HTML exports are more reliable for sites with non-ASCII page titles - CONF-4862.
• You can now get users from multiple LDAP repositories at the same time (or different search paths in the same LDAP repository) - CONF-6034.
• Shortcut links can now have the substitution string in the middle of the URL (CONF-3246), and have custom display text and titles (CONF-514).
• User macros are more flexible: you can configure how macro bodies are pre-rendered (CONF-2293), and you can also specify that a user macro generates wiki markup instead of HTML (CONF-3780).
• Pages with large numbers of attached images no longer eat up too many database connections - CONF-6393.
• When creating an RSS feed with the feed builder, you can choose whether to see full content, diffs, or both - CONF-6321.
• Searches now default to AND rather than OR for combining search terms - CONF-5874.
• The login page no longer prompts you to log in when you're already logged in. - CONF-6843.
• 任天堂 Wii のサポートが追加されました。
• パフォーマンスのさまざまな改善によって、ページの表示が高速になり、スペース権限の数が増えてもサーバーの問題が減少しています。
• Many static resources in Confluence are cached more effectively, so browsers have to retrieve CSS and Javascript files significantly less often - CONF-7212.

既知の課題とパッチ

• Confluence 2.3 was originally accidentally shipped with three testing-only language packs. Since Sunday January 14th, the language packs have been removed from the distribution, but if you downloaded Confluence before that date they will be present. These language packs are machine translations, and are not intended for use on production systems (unless you're a native German speaker and really want a good laugh). If you downloaded an affected copy of Confluence and want to remove these packs, delete de_DE-1.0.jar, ja_JP-1.0.jar and ru_RU-1.0.jar from confluence/WEB-INF/lib.
• You need to apply this patch to enable LDAP user integration : CONF-7585
• If you have problems restoring backups please apply the patch included in this issue: CONF-7584
• Due to class name changes, if you're upgrading from an existing system running:
  1. MySQL - you need to edit confluence.home/confluence.cfg.xml and replace bucket.dialect.MySQLDialect with com.atlassian.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect. More information in this issue: CONF-7579
  2. DB2 - you need to edit confluence.home/confluence.cfg.xml and replace bucket.dialect.DB2Dialect with com.atlassian.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect. More information in this issue: CONF-7690
• Log file atlassian-confluence.log is not presently generated. Please see these instructions for enabling it.

The Confluence 2.3 Team

そこにいたのは、やせた小柄な獣に乗った 1 人の若者だった。
    その獣は小型の競走馬のようなもので、
純血種のチモールポニーが持つ特徴を少なくとも 3 カ所ほど備えており、
    山で珍重される種類のものだった。
その馬は、頑丈でたくましく、やせてはいるが強靭で、まさに死を恐れないタイプだった。
    足取りは迅速で、せっかちながら雄々しく、
その明るく燃えるような目からは勇気があふれ、
    その容貌には若さからくる気力と、そして威厳を同時に湛えていた。
