There is no need for a "Space With Excerpt" parameter for "this" space. Leave it blank. This is done to be consistent with how Confluence handles page links. They do not populate space attributes for page links within the current space. We need to be consistent with Confluence for proper handling of things like link rewriting during page copy operations.
- Added client-side logic to clear the "Space With Excerpt" parameter for a MultiExcerpt Include when the macro editor is opened, but only if the parameter is set to the current space. The user is prompted to save the macro to persist the change. This is also done to be consistent with Confluence's implementation of page links.

5.2.15Confluence Server 6.5.0 - 7.1.22019-10-21Minor Bug Fix No release notes.5.2.14Confluence Server 6.5.0 - 7.0.52019-10-07Bug fix Fixed bug with surrounding panels of multiexcerpt-include.
5.2.13Confluence Server 6.5.0 - 7.0.52019-09-12Adding compatibility for Confluence 7 No release notes.5.2.11Confluence Server 6.2.0 - 6.15.102018-12-12Small security update: added validating token to the multi-excerpt admin screen This is a minor security update to address a vulnerability found as a result of penetration testing. The theoretical vulnerability found was that the MultiExcerpt admin screen wasn't using a validating token as it should be. This has been fixed.
5.2.10Confluence Server 5.6 - 6.13.202018-10-12Minor bug fixes Bug: CMEP-78
5.2.9Confluence Server 5.6 - 6.12.42018-07-06Includes improvement https://artemis.atlassian.net/browse/CMEP-75
5.2.8Confluence Server 5.6 - 6.10.32018-06-25This version includes fix for Enahnces Permissions macro. https://artemis.atlassian.net/browse/CMEP-79
5.2.7Confluence Server 5.6 - 6.9.32018-05-07This version includes a new feature and minor bug fixes 5.2.6Confluence Server 5.6 - 6.8.52018-03-12This version includes minor bug fixes. No release notes.5.2.5Confluence Server 5.6 - 6.7.32018-02-23Multi-excerpt 5.2.5 includes bug fixes 5.2.2Confluence Server 5.6 - 6.7.32016-12-14bug fix release This version of the multi-excerpt add-on has a few bug fixes:
- users can now click (esc) to minimize the new "multiexcerpt search" box
- the @self reference to the same page within the multiexcerpt-include has been fixed
- the optional 'surrounding panel' for the multiexcerpt-include has been fixed
Please note to see some of these updates you'll need to clear the add-on's cache which is enabled by default. Clearing cache is explained in the add-on's documentation or can simply be found at under Confluence Admin -> Cache Management -> MultiExcerpt -> Flush cache.
5.2.0Confluence Server 4.3 - 6.0.72016-10-20new "drop down select" for includes There is a new drop down select box in the multiexcerpt-include macro which lets you select existing multiexcerpts.
- look ahead / type ahead search for multiexcerpts
- completely accessible and functional with 'keyboard only'
- still allows you to add multiexcerpt names that might not yet exist to facilitate some workflows where this is required
This should speed content creation and reduce errors. It is a long requested feature now implemented!
5.0.5Confluence Server 4.3 - 5.10.92016-04-15bug fix - cached multi-excerpt-includes were inserting newline Updates that seemed to take place with Confluence 5.9 cause it to insert the p tag around rendered macros. We had stripped these out but forgot to strip them out of the cache. This update fixes that issue, but if you still see the problem you might need to flush the cache under Admin -> Cache Management -> net.artemis.plugins.conf.multiexcerpt4.cache
Cheers!
Brendan
5.0.4Confluence Server 4.3 - 5.9.142016-04-12bug fixes for Confluence 5.9 This fixes an issue where people who were upgrading to Confuence 5.9 were seeing inline multiexcerpt-includes appear on new lines.
I've also fixed the errors sometimes given when a multiexcerpt didn't exist on the referenced page to be more informative and clear along with eliminating errors in the log.
5.0.1Confluence Server 4.3 - 5.9.142016-03-30fix so that multiexcerpts appear inline Something seems to have changed in a recent version of Confluence which started adding newlines before and after macros. This fix allows multiexcerpts to appear inline.
5.0.0Confluence Server 4.3 - 5.9.142016-02-22NEW: MultiExcerpt Enhanced Permissions macro The new MultiExcerpt Enhanced Permissions macro now lets users share multiexcerpts even from restricted pages and spaces with specific users and or groups.
4.16.2Confluence Server 4.3 - 5.9.142015-07-29MultiExcerpt now uses Confluence's Cache This version of the multiexcerp and multiexcerpt-include macros now use Confluence's built in cache. This affords several benefits:
- cache can now be cleared/refreshed/flushed by the Confluence "Cache Management" administration screen
- cache size can now be configured
- cache usage can now be viewed
- cache should be preloaded (in many cases) on a Confluence restart rather than needing to be repopulated
- protects against memory overruns
In almost all cases I believe users should now enable cache. It is still an option on the MultiExcerpt Admin screen.
Additionally fixed a link in the MultiExcerpt Admin screen to Confluence's Cache Management screen. This was the only difference 4.16.1 to 4.16.2
4.16.1Confluence Server 4.3 - 5.8.182015-07-29MultiExcerpt now uses Confluence's Cache This version of the multiexcerp and multiexcerpt-include macros now use Confluence's built in cache. This affords several benefits:
- cache can now be cleared/refreshed/flushed by the Confluence "Cache Management" administration screen
- cache size can now be configured
- cache usage can now be viewed
- cache should be preloaded (in many cases) on a Confluence restart rather than needing to be repopulated
- protects against memory overruns
In almost all cases I believe users should now enable cache. It is still an option on the MultiExcerpt Admin screen.
4.15.0Confluence Server 4.3 - 5.8.182015-07-23added a new parameter for 'Add Panel' to MultiExcerpt-Include The main update here is we added a new parameter for 'Add Panel' to MultiExcerpt-Include.
The macros labels and descriptions are also cleaned up.
4.14.0Confluence Server 4.3 - 5.8.182015-07-16small usability improvements - now when you create a multi-excerpt it immediately pops up the window to enter a name
- I have removed the "no panel" option and now never render a panel.
- I've had dozens of requests to improve this feature. Because of what seems to be a 'bug' in Confluence I cannot simply default to having 'no panel'. If this release causes any problems by removing panels for multiexcerpt-includes please let me know and I'll try to figure something out.
- this release also covers more versions of Confluence than the last release.
4.13.3Confluence Server 5.1 - 5.8.182015-06-15fixes add-on for earlier versions of the multiexcerpt such as 5.1.x It looks like with my most recent release a certain dependency was being expected not available in older versions of Confluence such as 5.1.x.
In this case the add-on could not be updated.
This version fixes that problem.
4.13.2Confluence Server 4.2.7 - 5.8.182015-06-05nopanel fix Confluence now seems to have a bug where it doesn't always pass a macro the parameters. This fix addresses that issue for the 'nopanel' option in multi-excerpt macro
4.13.1Confluence Server 4.2.7 - 5.8.182015-06-03updated for Confluence 5.8.2 and now converts wiki-markup This release includes two parts:
- Confluence 5.8.2 prevents add-ons from add-ons adding links in some areas of the Administration screen so I had to move the link slightly.
- The add-on now converts wiki-markup to XHTML both on the fly and presumably during an upgrade. Atlassian support requested this update on behalf of a customer and have also done some vetting of it.
4.11.0Confluence Server 4.2.7 - 5.8.182015-03-30adding an "@self" option to the multiexcerpt-include Version 4.11.0 • Released 2015-03-30 • Supported By Appfire • Paid via Atlassian • GNU Public License (GPL)Small feature request. Now if you add "@self" in place of the 'page name' for the multiexcerpt-include it will dynamically find multiexcerpts on that same page.
This request was made to have it more effectively work in certain templating use cases.
4.10.0Confluence Server 4.2.7 - 5.7.42015-03-03added data center compatibility and minor bug fixes Version 4.10.0 • Released 2015-03-03 • Supported By Appfire • Paid via Atlassian • GNU Public License (GPL)Several customers have started asking for 'data center compatibility' so I've run several automated and manual tests along with researching the particular needs of 'data center compatible addons'.
I think we're all set with version 4.10.0
Also fixed a couple of minor and corner case bugs.
4.9.6Confluence Server 4.2.7 - 5.7.42015-01-17fix to detect recursion Version 4.9.6 • Released 2015-01-17 • Supported By Appfire • Paid via Atlassian • GNU Public License (GPL)There was a critical issue where a multiexcerpt-include was no longer detecting a recursive condition when referencing an outter multiexcerpt.
This is definitely fixed in this version!
4.9.5Confluence Server 4.2.7 - 5.6.62015-01-17fixed a circular reference bug Version 4.9.5 • Released 2015-01-17 • Supported By Appfire • Paid via Atlassian • GNU Public License (GPL)Fixed a circular reference issue if a multi-excerpt-include referenced a multi-excerpt it was embedded within. This is a critical bug fix:
https://artemis.atlassian.net/browse/CMEP-34
4.9.2Confluence Server 4.2.7 - 5.6.62014-07-23minor fix to admin link Version 4.9.2 • Released 2014-07-23 • Supported By Appfire • Paid via Atlassian • GNU Public License (GPL)Just a minor fix to the admin link to access caching configuration.
4.9.1Confluence Server 4.0 - 5.5.72014-03-14added cache controls Added cache controls. Please see the MultiExcerptCache controls documentation for more details.
Also disabling caching by default as it was causing issues in some specific circumstances.
4.8.0Confluence Server 4.0 - 5.4.42014-03-07adding caching of multi-excerpt-includes for vastly enhanced performance New in this release
Adding caching of multi-excerpt-includes for vastly enhanced performance
Fixed in this release
Added a new MarketPlace licensing API for enhanced stability.
4.7Confluence Server 4.0 - 5.4.42014-03-02re-fixed the goto included excerpt and other bug fixes New in this release
Refixed an issue with the "Go To Included Page" button. Other small bug fixes included.

Refixed an issue with the "Go To Included Page" button. Other small bug fixes included.
4.6.0Confluence Server 4.0 - 5.4.42013-02-09implemented a feature: display no error if permissions to excerpt are lacking Implemented this feature:
"User access limitations should create no missing page note"
https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/CMEP-24
4.4.3Confluence Server 4.0 - 4.3.72013-02-05fixed the "Go To Included Page" button fixed the "Go To Included Page" button
4.4.3Confluence Server 4.0 - 4.3.72013-02-03updated deployment model A small number of customers were reporting issues so I've updated to what should prove to be a more stable deployment model
4.4.0Confluence Server 4.0 - 4.3.72013-01-31rebuilt for stability, with latest Atlassian SDK, licensing and UPM references Although hundreds of companies use this plugin with no issues a few users were reporting seeing dependency errors which had to do with specific combinations of Confluence and it's platform's dependencies availability.
This release should eliminate a few issues where the plugin couldn't load because Confluence wasn't providing certain dependencies to the plugin.
4.3.1Confluence Server 4.0 - 4.3.72012-09-21temporarily removing macro migrator I had inserted a MacroMigrator to update legacy wikimakrup to XHTML.
However some users have reported problems so I'm removing for now and working on new methods and more extensive testing of that feature.
4.3.0Confluence Server 4.1 - 4.3.72012-09-08updated to work with Conf4.3 + wiki markup MacroMigrator for MultiExcerpts - updated to work with Confluence 4.3
- added a macro migrator
This version probably works with earlier versions 4.0 to 4.3 but I need to do a bit more testing against those earlier versions. The main reason to use this with 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 would be to use the MacroMigrator to migrate legacy wiki markup:
Some more details on re-running the migration process for unmigrated macros:

4.1.6.0Confluence Server 4.0 - 4.2.42012-04-09minor update for Marketplace functionality This is a complete rewrite of the MultiExcerpt plugin to work with Confluence 4.1+ (already tested against Confluence 4.2)
minor update for Marketplace functionality - fix for issue: https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/CMEP-50
2.0.7Confluence Server 2.8.0 - 3.5.172011-04-19cut a new version with no actual changes other than some enhanced error rerporting No release notes.
