Confluence Docs 3.0 : Release Notes 2.2.1 This page last changed on Jun 29, 2006 by david.soul@atlassian.com. Confluence 2.2.1 is a maintenance release that resolves some issues users may have encountered using Confluence 2.2, including issues related to LDAP user management, i18n, personal spaces and drafts. 2.2.1 is a free upgrade for all customers who purchased their Confluence license after May 18th, 2004. #### Who should upgrade? Confluence is a recommended upgrade for all customers using Confluence with external LDAP user management. All other customers should consult the list of issues resolved, and determine if this release is necessary for their own deployments. #### Upgrade Procedure Upgrading Confluence should be pretty easy. If you are upgrading from Confluence 2.2, you can find instructions here. We strongly recommend that you backup your `confluence.home` directory and database before upgrading!
| Draft Table Upgrade Upgrading Confluence to 2.2.1 will cause all autosaved 'drafts' to be deleted from the database. Be sure everyone has saved their work before upgrading!
| Confluence 2.2.1 and 2.2.1a The current version available for download is 2.2.1a. 2.2.1 was originally released with an old version of the atlassian-plugins library, which caused the plugin fixes listed below not to be included in the release. Confluence 2.2.1a resolves that problem.
| PageChildrenMacro IndexOutOfBoundsException error Customers who downloaded 2.2.1 or 2.2.1a before the official announcement may encounter an error when using the {children} macro to view the children of other pages in the same space. There is a patch for this issue attached to CONF-6197

CONF-6092 Fixed a regression where authentication against an external LDAP server via the old OSUser integration layer did not function. CONF-6052 Fixed a possible ClassCastException on viewing a user's profile.
