Release Notes Overview

List of Changes

The following changes are part of version 5.1.2 of the projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence. 

Key Summary T P Description
PDAC-1653 Modularize JavaScript Code Improvement Critical (migrated)

To move to Confluence 8.0 we need to remove access to global variables.
PDAC-1665 Internal Cache Configuration Bug Critical (migrated)

The Hazelcast cache fails to use the configured TTL (MAX_LONG), therefore we need to reduce the time to 10 years (another value meaning "do not evict").

Log the current configuration of the projectdoc document cache to the console.

Also update the configuration steps for managed caches to align with standard caches.
PDAC-1666 Comparator / Collator fails on null Values Bug Major

The stacktrace shows a NPE in case the second value is null.
PDAC-1667 Reorganize Transaction Management for Reindexer Improvement Minor (migrated)

The reindexer should process a single page in a transaction. This has a negative impact on performance, but has a result in case of a processing failure.
PDAC-1661 Move Merge Block Elements to the bottom Improvement Minor (migrated)

The Merge Block Elements parameter is often used in together with the First Child Fix parameter of the Content Marker Macro. Therefore these two parameters should be together. It is convenient to have them at the bottom of the parameter list to be able to quickly access them.
PDAC-1658 Filter on archived Spaces Improvement Minor (migrated)

Allow to filter on archived spaces for selected REST services.
PDAC-1657 Declare Property Without Name as Illegal Improvement Minor (migrated)

The code should add an additional check that properties stored to AO have valid names. This is no problem for users since the projectdoc document already ensures that all property names are valid.

Client code may force to set an invalid name in some processes. This is now prohibited.
