Upgrade NotesEnabling the New Quick Navigation Feature on Customised Confluence SitesIf you have customised your Main Layout on either the space or the global level, or if you have a custom theme plugin, the new quick navigation feature will not work immediately for you. To enable quick navigation, you need to add the following statement to your Main Layout anywhere before the #standardHeader() statement: #requireResourcesForContext("main")
Crowd and the User SearchConfluence 2.10 includes a much-enhanced user search. (See the release notes.) If you are using Atlassian's Crowd for user management, you will need Crowd 1.5.1 or later to use the 'Simple' option in the user search. If your version of Crowd does not support the simple user search, you will see only the 'Advanced' search form. Please consider upgrading your Crowd version, to take advantage of the advanced user search. PluginsIf you are using any third-party plugins on your Confluence instance, please test them thoroughly before rolling 2.10 into production. Java VersionsJava 1.4 is not supported in Confluence 2.9 and later. Please refer to the Java 1.4 Support Timeline for more information. Before upgrading to Confluence 2.10, you will need to ensure your environment is running at least Java 5. Confluence 2.10 supports Java 5 and Java 6. We recommend Java 6 because of its increased performance and easier troubleshooting, due to enhanced memory dump and profiling capabilities. You can check your current Java version in Confluence:
If you are running the Confluence EAR-WAR edition against your own application server, you will need to check with your application server vendor about which JDK versions are supported. Platforms No Longer SupportedThe following platforms were on the 'unsupported but working' list for Confluence 2.9. They are not on that list as of Confluence 2.10. We will still test those platforms infrequently, and Confluence will probably still work fine with them for a while, but they will not be officially supported.
Please refer to the lists of supported application servers and supported databases for the updated matrix. JavaScript LibrariesjQuery is the supported JavaScript library for plugin developers. Advance notice — deprecated libraries: We have decided to standardise on jQuery as the JavaScript library for Confluence. This library will eventually replace all others. For this reason, use of the following JavaScript libraries in Confluence is deprecated: Because there is a lot of legacy plugin code using Prototype and Scriptaculous, these will continue to be available for this release of Confluence. The Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI) is no longer supported, following its removal in Confluence 2.9. Confluence ThemesThe Confluence Classic Theme is no longer supported, following its deprecation in Confluence 2.9. This theme uses outdated typography and formatting, which was replaced by the new-look Default Theme in Confluence 2.6. At that time, we introduced the Classic Theme to minimise the impact on customers who relied on the older typography. When you upgrade to Confluence 2.10, an upgrade task runs to do the following:
End of Life of SnipSnap ImportAdvance notice — EOL SnipSnap import: Confluence 2.10 is the last release which will include the SnipSnap Import option in the Confluence Administration Console. From the next release after Confluence 2.10, the SnipSnap import will no longer be available. No Need to Re-Create Database Indexes ManuallyIn previous releases of Confluence, you needed to manually re-create the database indexes during the upgrade procedure. For this purpose, we provided a set of SQL statements as an attachment to the Upgrade Guide. From Confluence 2.10, the upgrade process will automatically re-create the indexes. Please refer to the Upgrade Guide. Upgrade Procedure
