Very quickly the most relevant changes in this release. | Section |

| title | Preparation for Data Center Support |
|---|
| This version add some performance improvements to support Confluence Data Center (DC). This also includes support for the Confluence Read-Only Mode (a must have for DC) |

| A couple of improvements address the user experience when working with projectdoc documents in the Confluence page editor. All these features are considered experimental and are currently in an early release status with some limitations (for details please follow the links below). - : Macros in the page editor can be collapsed or expanded

One of the most relevant news for your upgrade is the new database structure the projectdoc Toolbox. Since the projectdoc tables did not store any information that cannot be derived from the Confluence pages, you simply need to rebuild the table data from scratch. Unfortunately this requires – especially for large installations – quite a lot of time. We recommend to check the upgrade process in a test environment on real data to get an estimation about how long this would take on your Confluence instance. | Content Marker |

| We updated the database tables to store projectdoc data. This is required to cope with the increased load on Confluence when run in a data center environment. The old tables (identified by "PD_" in the table name) will stay untouched and the new structures will be stored in new tables (identified by "PD5_"). Even if the old data will still be available we highly recommend to have access to a current backup of your database. | Example Box |

The upgrade process will only affect projectdoc tables in Active Objects (AO). In case the process cannot complete successfully, because an accidental server downtime, please clear (not drop) the new PD5 tables from corrupt content and restart the server.
