リリースノート 1.5-DR2

Confluence 1.5-dr2 は、Confluence 1.5 に至るまでの公開された開発リリースです (Confluence 1.5-DR1 は内部リリースのみです)。開発者リリースは現在取り組んでいる作業のスナップショットであり、お客様に対してアトラシアンの取り組みをお知らせしてフィードバックを提供するものです。

Who should upgrade?

Development releases are snapshots of the ongoing Confluence development process. We make them available for customers who are willing to risk an unpolished release in order to have early access to new features. Developer releases are not suitable for running on production systems.

If you want to be running the most stable and most reliable version of Confluence, you should stick with the official, numbered releases.

アップグレード手順

Upgrading Confluence should be pretty easy. If you are upgrading from Confluence 1.4 or higher, you can find instructions here. We strongly recommend that you backup your confluence.home directory and database before upgrading!

If you are upgrading from Confluence 1.3.x or earlier, be sure to read the upgrade instructions in the Confluence 1.4 release notes.

ダウンロード

All development releases are available from Development Releases on the Atlassian website.

New Features in Confluence 1.5-DR2

多岐にわたって説明しましたが、1.5-DR2 の新しい 4 つの主要な機能は次のとおりです。

• WYSIWYG Editing
• Labels for content
• A dynamic RSS Builder
• 概要を変更

Consult JIRA for the full list of issues resolved for 1.5-DR2. 1.5-DR2 also incorporates all the bug-fixes that were made between TestTest.

WYSIWYG Editing

The WYSIWYG editor allows for Confluence pages to be edited directly through an editing GUI embedded in the web browser, without having to remember Confluence's wiki markup. It almost goes without saying that this has been our number one most requested features, and we're glad we can finally offer it!

Global administrators can enable WYSIWYG editing in the General Configuration screen of the site's preferences. They can also choose whether users are presented with the WYSIWYG editor by default, or whether users default to the old wiki markup text-field.
If WYSIWYG markup is enabled, but an individual user does not like the default set by the administrator, they are free to override it via a "make this my default" link that will appear on whichever editor is currently not your default.
For the "feature mad" amongst us, here are some neat things you can do with the WYSIWYG editor:

• Full screen view - really useful for editing large pages. Click in the menu bar.
• Quickly switch between WYSIWYG and Wiki markup without a page refresh
• Change the size of your editing window to suit your browser. Your size preference is remembered across sessions. To change it, drag the handle in the bottom right hand corner of the editor.
• Undo and redo!

Labels for content

Another highly requested feature was the ability to categorise content within Confluence beyond the rigid heirarchy allowed by spaces and parent-child relationships between pages. To this end we have introduced labels.
Labels are simple one-word 'tags' that can be added to any page or blog-post the user has permission to edit. Labels can be used to categorise content, bookmark it, flag it for attention, or anything else you can think of.

Labels can be added to any page from the edit screen, as a space-separated list of words. If you are browsing the site with a modern, Javascript-enabled browser, you'll also be able to use the dynamic web UI to add labels while viewing the page through an interactive interface.
Once a page is labeled, then clicking on the label's name allows you to browse other pages with the same label, or view related labels that commonly occur on the same pages.
You can also view the space's most popular labels from the space browser, to get an idea of the most popular topics within the space.
Many other Confluence features interact with labels: they can be searched for through the search interface, the new RSS builder can filter pages by their label, and we're looking forward to building label support into Confluence's packaged macros, and even the dashboard.
Personal Labels
If you prepend my: to a label (for example, my:todo or my:favourite, then the label is a personal label – only visible to you. Personal labels allow you to tag content for your own purposes. You can browse your personal labels from your user profile. Any user can add their personal labels to any page, even when they don't have editing permission.

お気に入り

Favourites are a special personal label: my:favourite or my:favorite. Whenever you see the icon, it means you can label this content as being your favourite, and whenever you see the icon, it means that the content is currently in your list of favourites. You can view your favourites from the Labels tab of your user profile, but they come in handy for...

ラベルとダッシュボード

ダッシュボードでラベルを使用して、Confluence サイトのさまざまなビューを作成できます。スペースのリストには次のタブが表示されるようになりました。

• My shows you spaces that you have labelled as a Favourite. You can label any space you see on the dashboard by clicking its icon.
• [チーム] によって、スペース管理者が特定のトピックに関するスペースのリストを動的に作成できます (下記参照。このタブは、ユーザーが表示できるチームがある場合にのみ表示されます)。
• [新規] には、前の週に作成されたスペースが表示されます (このタブは、新しいスペースがある場合にのみ表示されます)。
• [すべて] には、Confluence サイト内のすべてのスペースが表示されます

A "team" is a group of spaces that share a common team label. Spaces can be labeled from the Advanced tab of Browse Space.

The Recent Changes list on the dashboard will show only content that has been changed in the spaces that are currently listed in the space view. So if you are currently viewing the 'My' tab, only updates in your favourite spaces will be shown on the dashboard.

Dynamic RSS Builder

A third highly-requested feature. Confluence has always provided a brace of useful RSS feeds, but the problem is that for every feed we provided, users wanted half a dozen more. The obvious answer is to let users build RSS feeds based on their own chosen criteria. You can access the RSS builder from the Confluence dashboard

Once in the builder, you can choose

• Which spaces to include in the feed
• Which types of content should be tracked
• Which labels, if any, you are interested in
• How many items to include in the feed
• Whether you want a single RSS entry per page or one for each time the page is edited
• Whether you want an RSS 2.0 or Atom 0.3 feed
• Whether Confluence should require authentication to view the feed

Once you have decided what you want, Confluence will give you a URL to paste into your RSS reader. These URLs can be shared with other Confluence users, although they will only ever be allowed to see content that they have permission to view. If you have asked to authenticate, Confluence will require HTTP Basic Authentication, which is supported by most RSS readers.
We've also taken the opportunity to improve the presentation of our RSS feeds - including a lot more information in each feed so you can follow your Confluence site entirely from your newsreader.

概要を変更

In a very late addition (added during our recent ShipIt Day 2), Confluence now has change summaries. These allow you to add a comment to each edit that will appear in change histories, allowing you to keep a more complete record of how and why a particular page has been modified.
There is also a {change-history} macro to enable you to display a page's history within its body if you so desire.

その他の確認事項

Flash と動画を埋め込む

Flash コンテンツまたはムービー (Quicktime または Windows Media) を、画像のようにページに簡単に埋め込めるようになりました。Flash や動画ファイルをページに添付して、画像 (!filename.mov!) として組み込むだけです。

Word ドキュメントとしてページをエクスポート

You can now export pages straight into Word from the Info tab. This is extremely useful for emailing around content to non-Confluence users, printing a document or just creating a backup in Word.
Improved Search Interface
Results returned from Confluence's search engine now have:

• Improved contextual results, showing the most important text around where your query was matched in the page
• Contextual results for any attachment: see where a search was matched even inside PDF, Word, PowerPoint or Excel documents!
• 添付ファイルの検索結果には、添付ファイルの内容と送信元に関する明確な情報が多数表示されます!search-result-fragments.png|thumbnail, align=center!<br />ギャラリーマクロの改善

The gallery macro has been spruced up, and now has a slideshow view:
