Properties that define the space closures can now be defined in space properties extensions.

This is an important feature for publishing processes. Now all space specific properties can be collected on a separate page that is treated different from other published pages.

Space properties are also rendered, therefore macros can be used in more space property values.

For more information see 

This new version allows template authors to easily materialize values by the use of the mat document property control.

Materialization can also be controlled by the space property named Materialize by Doctype.

This allows the use of Deep Links on the left side of a Where constraint (see Search Tips).

Transcluding macros now take advantage of the Remote Control feature. By the use if Remote Controls these macros configure the context of the rendering process and alter the rendering result.

The following macros support remote controls (the Wiki Link Macro supported this feature in the past and does so by the use of HTTP request parameters):

The Wiki Link Macro allows, based on its Remote Control Parameters, to toggle between two states. Since the macro is now also allowed to reference the document it is part of, this feature can be used to toggle between two views of the same page.

A typical use case is to have a condensed and another expanded version of a table.

The tip Toggle Views shows this use case in some detail.

There are new parameters for the Display Document Property Macro that allow to define a match pattern by a regular expression and use the matched groups in a template.

This new feature allows users to grab parts of a property value and reuse its parts in its own value. For instance: if you document a product which has the version number in its name, then the short name could be defined as the name without the version. So in case the name is changed, the short name is updated accordingly.

The Content Marker Macro and Section Macro may now be tagged as being empty. This allows wrapping containers to control more specifically to hide if all its content is considered to be empty.

This is the generalization of the Ignore Template Buttons where a section is considered empty if this button is the only visible element inside a content marker or section.

In previous versions the only way to switch to printer mode to export Confluence pages to PDF or Word has been to set the user space property Pretend Being A to the value 'printer'. This has been only possible for users who created a user space for their own.

With this version the mode is automatically selected in case the output type of PDF or Word has been selected. This new feature not only makes it much easier to switch to printer and activate quirk modes, but makes this feature also available to users without a user space.
