With great pleasure, Atlassian presents Confluence 3.0.
Confluence 3.0 is a major release which presents a number of new features and enhancements. With Confluence 3.0, we introduce the new Macro Browser feature, which provides a simple, point-and-click interface for discovering and inserting any of Confluence s 80 bundled macros into a page. Macros greatly enhance the functionality of Confluence pages by allowing users to add tools like task lists, RSS feeds and multi-media content. The macro browser makes it easy to select the macro you need and preview its output with your chosen settings before finally adding it to your page. It also makes it easy to edit and modify the parameters of existing macros on a page.
Confluence 3.0 also provides a range of social features that allow you to discover and connect with other users in your Confluence site. User Profiles have been redesigned with a more intuitive layout and provide additional fields for users to share information about themselves like their IM handle or personal website. The new Network feature lets you follow other users inside your Confluence site and view an aggregated stream of all the activity such as page edits, blogs posts and status updates they undertake. The new Hover Profile feature displays a user s summary profile information whenever you hover your mouse pointer over their name anywhere in Confluence. Hover profiles provide easy access to the user s email address and profile details and allow you to add them to your network. Finally, you can let others know what you are working on, share a link or simply broadcast a short message to your team by setting your User Status. Once your current status message has been updated, it will appear in various activity streams, your profile views and your profile sidebar.
The new PDF Export feature addresses one of the most highly voted requests for Confluence. You have full control over your PDF exports using Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) modifications. You also have the ability to customise page and margin sizes, add a title page or table of contents list to your exported document, add customisable headers and footers and easily select a subsection of documentation for export.
The Rich Text Editor now includes a right-click context menu that makes it easier to insert links, images, macros and tables into your Confluence page. It is now also possible to copy / cut and paste rows within tables.
Confluence s performance has been substantially improved in both standalone and clustered installations with dramatic improvements in response times. Furthermore, scalability has been enhanced, with significantly improved CPU utilisation compared to previous Confluence versions.
