Confluence Docs 3.0 : Confluence 2.8.1 Release Notes This page last changed on May 21, 2008 by smaddox. 21 May 2008 Confluence 2.8.1 is a recommended upgrade which fixes some security flaws as well as other bugs in Confluence 2.8. Please refer to the security advisory for details of the security vulnerabilities, risk assessment and mitigation strategies. Two of the bug fixes resolve problems with rendering a wiki page in Internet Explorer 6. Additionally, these fixes will significantly improve performance in some configurations of Confluence 2.8. We have created some performance testing scripts, which will be particularly useful for large or mission-critical Confluence installations. Using a custom space logo caused some problems, particularly with Resin application server, where the page would sometimes hang and then display incorrectly. This is now fixed. There's a complete list of fixes below. Click a specific issue to see details of the fix. Don't have Confluence 2.8 yet?
