| # New look and feel Default font now Arial instead of Verdana. Fresh, clean look and feel - these release notes are an example of the new style. If you prefer the original Confluence look and feel, select the Confluence Classic Theme when creating a space.

| # Social Bookmarking plugin now bundled with Confluence Use Confluence to share bookmarks with your team. Plugin will be enabled by default. You can create a bookmark for any space in which you have 'create page' permission. To view your bookmarks, go to the 'Bookmarks' tab under 'Browse Space'. To add a bookmark, click the 'Add Bookmark' option. Drag the bookmarklet from the 'Bookmarks' tab onto your browser toolbar to create bookmarks anytime. Use the {bookmarks} macro to display a list of bookmarks anywhere in Confluence. Subscribe to an RSS feed for your bookmarks. Read the [documentation].
| # WebDav plugin now bundled with Confluence The WebDAV 1.1 plugin is now bundled with Confluence. Plugin will be disabled by default. Use Confluence like a network drive: Access Confluence content via a WebDAV client, such as 'My Network Places' in Microsoft Windows. Read and write to spaces, pages and attachments in Confluence, provided that you have permission. You will be asked to log in, and the standard Confluence permissions apply. To configure the WebDAV permissions and other settings, site administrators can choose the WebDAV Configuration option on the 'Administration Console'. Read the documentation.
| # TaskList plugin now bundled with Confluence New and improved version of Dynamic Tasklist - you can: Re-order tasks reliably. Include some wiki markup (links, simple formatting) in the task names. Edit task names. Drag a task from one list to another. Assign priorities to tasks. Sort tasks. Change task lists in edit mode - the task lists are now stored in the page. Every change saves a version of the page - no lost information. Easy upgrade: The new Dynamic Tasklist plugin will find any task lists in the previous format and automatically upgrade them to the new format. Read the documentation. add screenshot
