Confluence 2.6.1 Release Notes

All Versions

Confluence 3.0 Documentation

9 November 2007

Atlassian is proud to announce the release of Confluence 2.6.1. This is a highly recommended upgrade from 2.6, because it fixes some security flaws which may affect Confluence instances in a public environment. We will release more details of the security fixes within a few days, giving our customers a chance to upgrade before the details are made public. This point release also includes more than 40 other fixes and improvements.

We're especially glad that anonymous comments will no longer show the profile picture of the previous commenter, and newly-created spaces no longer seem to have been created by an anonymous user. The {excerpt} and {excerpt-include} macros now behave better. And we've fixed some issues with internationalisation.

There's a complete list of fixes below.

You can download Confluence 2.6.1 from the download centre.

Security Advisory 19 November 2007

We have now published the details of the security vulnerabilities, which are fixed in Confluence 2.6.1. Please refer to the security advisory for more information.

Upgrading from a previous version of Confluence

Upgrading Confluence should be fairly straightforward. Please read the upgrade instructions. We strongly recommend that you back up your confluence.home directory and database before upgrading!
