Confluence 2.10.3 Release Notes
15 April 2009
Confluence 2.10.3 is a recommended upgrade which fixes some security flaws and other issues.
Please refer to the security advisory for details of the security vulnerabilities, risk assessments and mitigation strategies.
General Fixes
A bug was identified, whereby viewing or editing restrictions could not be assigned to a page, whose parent page contained an apostrophe in its title and also possessed existing page restrictions. This bug has now been fixed.
When a user is restricted from viewing a page, Confluence presents them with a more informative Access Denied error rather than a general Page Not Found error.
When the {gallery} macro is used on a page with no parameters or image attachments, it would render into an error in HTML or PDF exports. This issue has now been fixed.
An issue was identified whereby under certain circumstances, clicking on a page's or blog's thumbnail image to expand it would result in a Runtime Error in Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7. This issue has now been fixed.
Widget Connector Plugin
Several new features have been added to the Widget Connector Plugin packaged with Confluence 2.10.3, including support for new widget, video and micro-blogging sites. Other supported features include Google Calendar and the Wufoo HTML Form Builder. For more information on how to add these features to your Confluence page or blog, refer to Widget Connector Macro.
Episodic made changes to the format of IDs they designate for all new videos, allowing them to be alphanumeric rather than solely numeric. The Widget Connector plugin has been updated to support this new URL format.
Engine Room Fixes
An issue was identified in Confluence's PDF Export feature that could result in memory leaks. These in turn may have affected the performance and stability of Confluence instances. This issue has now been fixed.
A few other issues were identified which under certain or specific circumstances, could affect the stability of Confluence. However, these have now been fixed.
