• Confluence 4.3 introduced some column sorting capability. This interferes with table-plus support. Fortunately, Confluence developers provided a capability to disable this behavior for specific tables. This support is used for tables wrapped with table-plus, csv, and similar macros supporting common table capabilities.
• Confluence 4.3 has storage space based templates. This incompatibility means that script support that gets text from a space template is broken since the returned content is now storage format. To accommodate this problem, change the handling of this data to look for unformated text in the template. Consider any content that is wrapped in a noformat or wiki-markup (CWP:Wiki Plugin for Confluence) as the plain content from the template. All other data in the template will be ignored. The incompatibility requires templates that are used for this capability to be updated to surround the text with the noformat or wiki-markup macros. Most standard usage does not employ this technique.

• Improvements were made to to handle floats (F, FC, C and CC column types) so that totals are now rounded, the use of a comma as a decimal separator is now respected, and number separators are ignored.
• Improvements were made to the CSV macro to handle getting data from a URL so that basic authentication is supported for accessing the URL and a timeout setting was added to wait for slower connections.
