We (aka Contegix) are upgrading Confluence to v4.0 (we are not moving to 4.1 until it is proven stable)
The biggest change in this version is the removal of a dedicated wiki formatting mode.
This will likely irritate many people who have grown to know and love the wiki formatting module. We too loved this mode, but it’s being removed and never coming back, and we can’t fight it.
The new WYSIWYGish formatter is a step beyond the WYSIWYG modes you’re generally used to. So you should try it before you lambast it.
JIRA will be upgraded to 4.4.4.
This prepares us for the imminent 5.0 upgrade and gives us an internal password change API that will mean that all systems use the same Codehaus password.
Xircles has undergone an internal revamp (onto latest Rails).
Most user facing things should be working
We are upgrading to JIRA 4.3.4 to let us offload some projects to Apache; and prepare for the server upgrades that are coming up.
Rebuilding and upgrading Confluence database
We’ve just deployed the new SSL certificates to codehaus03 (3 more servers to go over the next few days).
If you’re having issues with your Maven deployments – then it’s probably because the CA isn’t included in the base distribution.
Installing a new CA is relatively straightforward – https://docs.codehaus.org/display/HAUSMATES/Installing+a+new+CA+into+the+JDK
Feedback welcome.
Confluence will be upgraded to 3.2.1_01 to add new features and to bring the platform up to date (ready for support from Atlassian).
It is unlikely to take the full outage window; but we do like to be careful!
FishEye will be upgraded to v2.2.
Immediately after the upgrade, there will be a full reindex of all repositories as per the upgrade requirements.
This will mean that many repositories are offline for a period of time – this can’t be easily helped with the limited infrastructure we have available.
We will monitor the scanning process and put any progress information on Twitter (http://twitter.com/codehaus)
JIRA is being upgraded to JIRA 4!
We have done a test upgrade on a cloud server (many thanks to Atlassian for helping us with this) and it looks like it should be a smooth upgrade.
As always contact support with any issues.
Time Zone: CDT (-0600) Start: October 31, 2009 02:00 AM Finish: October 31, 2009 06:00 AM
Confluence will be upgraded to 3.0.1.
Thus there will be an outage on Confluence and Unity powered sites (e.g. anything that is talking to Confluence)
