Hi everyone, A Confluence 8.8 EAP milestone is available now! EAP releases provide a snapshot of our work-in-progress and give you an opportunity to test and fix your apps before the final release. As usual, we’ll be releasing weekly milestones and betas during the development of Confluence 8.8, s…

Hi Anna (from a different Wendy, and yes, we’re both really Wendys). I’ve updated our Preparing for 8.8 page with details of what’s changed. See the section with the title, ‘Changes to app uploads via the Universal Plugin Manager’, for further info. Apologies we hadn’t included this earlier.

Repeating a question I previously posted in the 8.7 thread that has not been addressed. I see that this is now broken in 8.8.0-beta1 (not just in 9.0). I assume that 8.8 is shipping to customers next week, so the question becomes even more urgent. How would Atlassian suggest that apps remain compat…

Here is another unanswered question from the 8.7 thread : While on the subject, the public UserAccessor#isDeactivated method was deprecated late in the 7.x series, with a suggested replacement of DisabledUserManager#isDisabled. But the DisabledUserManager bean does not seem to be accessible to plug…

Scott, thank you for so eloquently writing this down. We were just planning on immediately re-enabling the button, which seems like it would totally nuke any benefits to such a solution anyway.

@kmacleod @mkemp More unanswered questions from the grey API thread, in addition to the ones I’ve posted just above this, as well as related issues stemming from recent WRM changes: With the removal of com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.*, how would Atlassian recommend that vendors reimplement substri…

HI Scott. I’ve notified our devs of your questions in this thread and hopefully they’ll be along very soon to provide a detailed answer.

[image] rlander: Second this question, the upload button also appears to be missing in the Confluence 9 EAP? For production site, you need to add this flag -Dupm.plugin.upload.enabled=true to enable this Upload Plugin button

[image] scott.dudley: With the removal of com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.*, how would Atlassian recommend that vendors reimplement substring searches needed for user/group pickers? I provided the existing, shipping code in an earlier post, but these APIs are being removed. I’m sorry I’m not res…

In case you’re not aware our products do support OBRs which can contain multiple plugins, there’s various ways of utilising that to be able to ship a single version of an App on Marketplace. Of course, it’s up to you to decide whether that cost and complexity is worth it instead of shipping two diff…

We have seen that you have incorporated to Confluence 8.7.2 the changes done for the section Removal of Velocity servlet support in Confluence for Confluence 8.8. This is breaking our apps as they are not rendering properly the vm’s. Error: Unable to find resource '/template/aui/select.vm' - Class…

@Wendy / @WendyR / @mkemp / and also adding @MalathiVangalapati , Can you please provide a timeframe in which you are preparing to release Confluence 8.8? Both me and @scott.dudley have been trying to get the Atlassian Marketplace Partner community to understand the importance of trying out this EA…
