Planned changes
In this section we'll provide an overview of the changes we intend to make, so you can start thinking how it might impact your app. We'll indicate when a change has been implemented, and in which milestone.
Rebuild the search index in a cluster
Status: COMPLETE
We're making some improvements to the way you rebuild the search index in a cluster. Once the reindex is complete on one node, we'll propagate that index to all the other nodes in the cluster automatically. A new UI will let you see exactly where the process is up to.
We're still working on this one, and will provide more information at a later date.
Editor TinyMCE upgrade
Status: COMPLETE
We’re in the process of upgrading the Confluence editor from TinyMCE 4 to TinyMCE 5, and we hope to ship the upgraded editor in Confluence 7.7. Besides bug fixes, there will be no impact to end-users.
We’ll keep you updated throughout the process. Below is a special milestone with the upgraded TinyMCE 5 editor enabled, and information about editor API deprecations.
Webhooks
Status: COMPLETE
Webhoooks are now officially supported, and we've added a new UI for registering and monitoring your webhoooks. Webhooks are available for both Server and Data Center.
Implemented changes
