Confluence Docs 3.0 : Release Notes 1.0b3 This page last changed on Jul 05, 2009 by ggaskell. ## Confluence 1.0b3 1.0b3 was released on January 19th, 2004. It replaces the short-lived 1.0b2 release, after 1.0b2 managed to escape into the wild with a bug in the search index that made it see pages that weren't there any more. Since 1.0b2 only existed for one weekend, the release-notes for both versions have been folded into a single document. This is a massive release. Over 90 issues (new features, improvements and bug-fixes) were resolved between beta-1 and beta-3, with even more improvements made below the issue-tracking radar. ### Contents Unknown macro: {link} Unknown macro: {link} Unknown macro: {link} Unknown macro: {link} Unknown macro: {link} See also: Issues Resolved for 1.0b3 ### New Features Search Attachments Attachments are now indexed for searching just like any other content in the Confluence space. Alongside text, HTML and XML attachments, Confluence will also index Word, RTF and PDF documents. Configurable Look and Feel The site administrators can now customise the colour-scheme of the Confluence installation. More advanced configuration can be done by editing the site's templates through a web interface, changing the appearance of the whole site. Site Homepage The site administrator can now set the site homepage for users who have not logged in: choosing from either the dashboard (the default behaviour in beta1 and before), or any of the Space homepages within the site. Users who have logged in can choose their own site homepage in their user profile. RSS Feed for New Comments You can subscribe to all new comments added to a space using an RSS newsreader. (The link to the RSS feed can be found on the Space Summary page) Emoticons
### New Macros {include} – include the contents of one Confluence page within another {include-html} – include the contents of an HTML document within a Confluence page (turned off by default. See Enabling the html-include Macro for more information) {rss} – include an external RSS feed {search} – include the results of a Confluence search {jiraissues} – integrate Jira issue reports with your Confluence site {junitreport} – include JUnit test result data ### Improvements Users' login names and full names are indexed for searching Users' profiles may now be longer than 255 characters, and are also indexed for searching Usernames are no longer case-sensitive Anonymous contributions are clearly labeled Users are warned if they are editing or commenting without having logged in Notification emails now link to the appropriate "diff" page, so you can quickly see what has changed Page diffs now highlight precisely what changed within each line: very useful when just one or two words change in a long paragraph Lists of child pages and links are sorted alphabetically Long lists of pages or search results are paginated Shortcut links can be given different link text in the same way as other links (e.g. [Search for Confluence on Google|confluence@google]) Incoming links and "hot referrers" are listed in the sidebar of the page view Child pages are listed below the page contents in the page view ### Notable Bug-fixes You no longer get the old page (or don't see the comment) immediately after editing or commenting on a page CONF-453 Persistent login cookies no longer conflict with a JIRA installation on the same server CONF-440 Persistent login cookies no longer fail for users with certain characters in their username CONF-387 Notification emails no longer send out garbage for anonymous changes. CONF-421 Users who are not logged in no longer see strange table titles CONF-422 And many more.... ### Outstanding Issues You should restart Confluence immediately after finishing the initial setup steps, to avoid data loss CONF-493 New-lines may not be drawn if the next line starts with whitespace CONF-475 Emoticons are rendered inside {noformat} blocks CONF-502 If you put a {children} macro after an {include} macro, it will list the children of the included page.
