Confluence 2.5.8 is a highly recommended upgrade that resolves some issues in the user management framework and a memory leak in Confluence 2.5.x.

Upgrade procedure
Upgrading Confluence should be fairly straightforward. We strongly recommend that you back up your confluence.home directory and database before upgrading!
If you are upgrading from Confluence 2.2.x or a later version, please use the Confluence Upgrade Instructions.
If you are upgrading directly from 2.1 or earlier, you should also read the 2.2 Release Notes for warnings about the 2.1 -> 2.2 upgrade.
