New Add-on Name
We want to introduce you Comala Share It for Confluence Server. New name, new logo but better add-on(and better user interface).
...
We are making the name and logo consistent with the rest of the Comalatech Comala 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
Direct rendering instead of cache (no problems with browsers due to big embedded images, same page load time but better server performance
This means that IE8 users accessing a shared page with "big" embedded 64 images won't see them. Note that "big" in IE context means 32k (about 600x500). Confluence 5.5 was the last version that supported IE8.
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.
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.

User Interface Updates
We have improved the user interface to improve your experience. Since sharing a page is not a daily task, we did not want to clutter your pages.
To share a page, go to the page tools menu, and choose Share this Page...

However, a shared page is something to be noted. So, we indicate this new state with a visible Shared banner.

Shared Page Improvements
We've improved the way the shared pages are rendered in Confluence. The public view of shared pages will now look much more like what you see when using Confluence normally.
Other updates to page sharing are
blog posts can now be shared just like pages
attachments used in a shared page are now automatically shared as well ensuring that images work as expected
