Release Notes Overview

New and Noteworthy

Refresh for Space Administrators

There are some issues when a refresh or rebuild is run with the wrong user locale. Some macros that are used as property values will render according to the locale.

In case the users of a space have no Confluence Administrator privileges, then it is quite difficult for them to update these pages.

This version provides a refresh service for space administrators in the space administration section.

Note that only a refresh, but not a rebuild is possible. Only this pages in this space get refreshed. In case users are space administrators for a couple of spaces these spaces need to be refreshed in the appropriate order according to their dependencies.

In case there is no such order, space administrators would likely need to run the refresh more than once.

projectdoc Page Menu for Space Administrators

This version allows space administrators to get the page menu entries for projectdoc actions if the space category 'projectdoc' is set for that space.

If space administrators cannot get any of the projectdoc roles, then this allows them to configure their space themselves, albeit not for standard users.

For more information on that page actions, please refer to Cache Refresh Actions.

Template Document Link Macro

The Wiki Link Macro has been replaced by a couple of macros to make it easier to use. Instead of a single macro serving multiple use cases there is now a separate macro for each use case.

Static Document Link Macro
Renders a static link to a projectdoc document in the wiki. A static link is a link to a Confluence page that is identified by its space key and document title.
In-Document Link Macro
Renders a static link to a location within the same document. This is a static document link macro with a specialized interface.
Dynamic Document Link Macro
Renders a dynamic link to a projectdoc document in the wiki. A dynamic link is a link to a Confluence page that is identified by the page title and the delegate space closure. The target of the link is calculated at render time. In case the delegate space closure changes, a different document may be the target of the link.
Template Document Link Macro
Allows to render a link constructed with a template to a document dependent on the space closure.
Term Link Macro
Renders a dynamic link to a Glossary Item in the wiki.

The Template Document Link Macro allows to construct a link to a document using a template. Now every use case of the Wiki Link Macro should be covered.
