Release Date
 

Today we released version 6.0.4 of the projectdoc Toolbox on the Atlassian Marketplace!

This is release provides a couple of fixes and improvements.

The projectdoc Toolbox is an add-on for Confluence supporting agile software development teams to collaborate on process, project, system, and product documentation. 

Release Notes Overview

New and Noteworthy

Dynamic Property Values

Since version 6.0.x the default mode for Dynamic Property Values is allow. This has been selected to be the default because it puts the least constraints on property values.

It is recommended that the mode is set to lenient. By setting the system property 

de.smartics.projectdoc.dynamicValue.mode.initDefault

the admin is able to set a value different to allow. It is recommended to use lenient. If the system cannot parse a specified value, it assumes lenient, not allowed.

Example: Setting the system property to lenient

 
de.smartics.projectdoc.dynamicValue.mode.initDefault=lenient

Another option for upgrading from version 4 with stricter mode than allow is to run the upgrade without migration. Then set the appropriate mode and finally run the upgrade manually. For more information on upgrading, please refer to projectdoc Toolbox 5.0 Release Notes. Details on the upgrade task are provided in projectdoc Rebuild Manual.

Dynamic Property Values have been introduced with version 6.0 (see projectdoc Toolbox 6.0 Release Notes).

Names List and Autocomplete

The Name List Macro allows to run Autocomplete to support authors selecting proper names.

The Where parameter of the macro is applied to the Autocomplete, so authors cannot select invalid values. The new mechanism on filtering on the result using the Matcher parameter was not taken into account for Autocomplete. This version fixes that with PDAC-1712 - Getting issue details... STATUS .

The Where parameter also has always been applied if specified. With this version (see PDAC-1713 - Getting issue details... STATUS ) it will only be applied, if the parameter Restrict to Range is selected. This is also true for the Matcher parameter.
