Rebranding

We want to introduce you Comala Share It for Confluence Server. New name, new logo but better add-on.

...

We are making the name and logo consistent with the rest of the Comalatech add-ons family. Share Attachments and Pages will now be known as Comala Share It for Confluence Server. All existing licenses are still valid, if you already have Share Attachments and Pages installed, the upgrade will be available through the Manage Add-ons page as normal.

Improvements

Share Attachments and Pages stored shared pages in cache, with all resources embedded on them. This gave faster load times than Confluence, but also many issues. Share It no longer caches html pages. This results in:

  • Direct rendering instead of cache

...

  • . There are no problems with browsers due to big embedded images

...

  • . E.g., IE8 users accessing a shared page with "big" embedded 64 images

...

  • didn't see them. Note that "big" in

...

  • IE8 context means 32k (about 600x500).

...

Same style, layout (look and feel)

Removes the attachment lists at the bottom of the shared page. If a user wants to see a list of attachments, she can add the corresponding macro.

...

  • Same page load time than Confluence with a better server performance than Share Attachments and Pages.
  • Very same look and feel than the original sharing page. All styles are kept.

Attachments are no longer embedded in shared pages. Previous versions embedded everything (images, attachments, styles, js) within the shared page in base64. With this new version, attachments are no embedded anymore. Instead of that, the add-on generates a public link (like it is currently done with single attachments). This not only improves efficiency when creating public links but also fixes a "Java Heap" memory issue in pages with large attachments. 

Security:

Only attachments and images that belong to the shared page are shown.

Old links are compatible.

Removals

Removes the attachment lists at the bottom of the shared page. If a user wants to see a list of attachments, she can add the corresponding macro. Cleaner content
