Don't have Confluence 4.2 yet?

Take a look at the new features and other highlights in the Confluence 4.2 Release Notes.

Inviting new users by email

You can now send an email message directly from the Confluence user administration screen, inviting people to join the site. We have also clarified the signup modes as public, private, or disabled.

Release Notices

Upgrading from a previous version of Confluence should be fairly straightforward. Please read the Confluence 4.2.5 Upgrade Notes. We strongly recommend that you back up your confluence.home directory and database before upgrading.

If your version of Confluence is earlier than 3.5.x, then you should upgrade to Confluence 3.5.x before upgrading to Confluence 4.2.x.
