• Prepare for Confluence 8 - struts2 migration, deprecated Confluence API replacement

• Appfire branding for admin tool

• Appfire branding for admin tool link

• update Spring dependency to latest recommended version

• add stricter validation that downloaded file is a log file... for Log Downloader
• update dependencies

• do not log anything entered by a user

• Bug for corner case:
• When the default space has a page in it with a title MATCHING the space key: Fix logic for adding content when a page already exists (add comment, prepend content, add page with timestamp, etc.).

• Upgrade xstream library version per Atlassian's recommendation for security fixes from xstream
• Move the admin config tool link to the new "Artemis Configuration" group in the Confluence General Configuration tools.
• Add support for *.log.1, *.log.2, etc. in Log Downloader

• New action: "replace"
• The replace action is used to replace the content of a page. Similar to the prepend/append actions but replaces the whole page.
• Use plus addressing or command tags to invoke the "replace" action.
• The "replace" action is also included in the "Email to this Page..." page menu item.
• Page versioning: actions that modify a page (prepend/append/replace) now version the page and it shows up in page history like any other page edit.

• add content creator's fullname, email to output from 'Check Email Now' button

• replace AJS.stopEvent() w/ preventDefault(). Confluence has removed the AJS.stopEvent() API.

• update Log Downloader for Spring Java Configuration for dependency injection (faster server startup, more maintainable codebase, etc.)

• tolerate missing "to" address in processed emails (via new admin config setting). This can happen for a server like MS Exchange that does not include a to address for an email received via BCC

• fix checkbox inputs in admin configuration tool for persisting unchecked state
• fix the "Send EMail to Personal Space if matching from address is found" feature

• sort log files by filename in Log Downloader

• Spring Java Configuration for faster app initialization during server startup and other advantages like simpler code for dependency injection

• fix NoClassDefFoundError during app installation for first-time install
• add "To Address" configuration setting to admin tool to allow incoming email server to have a configured "User Name/Account" that is totally different than the email address for that user name/account

Upcoming: DataCenter approved version coming shortly:

We are excited to be rolling out a DataCenter approved version of this app in the coming weeks.

We will provide more information directly to customers, in our knowledgebase, our documentation wiki, and release notes around the transition. The new licensing and change will be no different from most other DataCenter approved apps.

We will also make sure there is no change in service for at least a three-month window/grace period for customers to update licenses ( as per Atlassian’s guidance ).

Primarily this update brings the add-on into compliance with the latest version of Confluence through 6.4.1 . There are additionally bug fixes.

A user reported an issue with the previous .obr add-on file uploaded, thus ran a clean build which should alleviate the issue for affected users.

There was one small change needed to enable the add-on for Confluence 5.10

bugfix: Earlier versions of Confluence were having trouble with command tags. This has been fixed!

Only update with this version is for compatibility with Confluence 5.9

I've fixed couple of issues including:

• PageIds were not being interpreted properly when using command tags or the 'default parent page' to identify the destination parent page. Now fixed!
• Command tags having some HTML styling (like being bold) were not being parsed correctly.
• Added a feature to hand resetting of the configuration.

this is update and tested against Confluence 5.8.x

I also fixed a but where attachments were having issues in some cases. This was caused by my last update which allowed images to be embedded directly in pages when embedded in the email message body. That still works too :)

Several users had pointed out its not ideal to have response emails create new comments as nested, thus they now appear at the top level.

If this is not desired by everyone I will likely make it a configurable option but I think it will generally be preferred.

Now if you add an image inline to your email it shows in the new Confluence page. I've tested this for outlook.com, GMail and sending from Postbox and Thunderbird. Its possible that other email clients might 'evade' the inlining of images but we should be able to add more support if that happens.

This version of the add-on adds support for Data Center. It's also built for the latest versions of Confluence.

I'm only marking this as compatible for Confluence 5.5+ though it will likely work with earlier versions I've not yet run my test suite against.

Critical bug fix introduced recently so that the automated job again now works.

More details below:

Previously I had fixed an issue a few customers were having related to Confluence calling back to itself - I think very few customers were having proxy issues.

However the job process was run in a new context causing 'LazyInstantiation errors'.

This tricky issue has been fixed.

Minor issue fixed when the email's subject is empty:

Fixed:

• https://artemis.atlassian.net/browse/EMPLG-12

This release provides a number of bug fixes for long standing issues. Also the feedback about how the AddOn is processing emails has been vastly improved.

• With this release I tested and fixed the AddOn against Microsoft's Office 360 Exchange server. Hopefully that is somewhat similar to Exchange behind the firewall.
• An issue was fixed where users were seeing "Unexpected Result".
• An issue was fixed when "Default Parent Page" was specified.
• Feedback was added about exactly what is happening when an admin clicks "Check Mail Now"
• The ability to download the log files was added directly to the admin screen for the AddOn.

Several users were encountering this issue:

"Unexpected result when trying to connect to <server name>"

This is now fixed along with other related issues.

This release is primarily meant to speed the resolution of future issue through surfacing some detailed information about how emails are inspected, processed through an action queue and routed.

To summarize: this release is all about improving support! :)

Version 2.1 of the SendEMailToPage AddOn is the first release of a few over the next few weeks which will contain fixes and enhancements.

Important in this release:

• tested compatibility with Confluence 5.6.x
• .obj files which were littering the Confluence directory have been cleaned up, moved to "temp" and should be automatically cleaned up everyday. These were used to temporarily store attachments from email, but were not being cleaned up.
• log messages from the AddOn should no longer be written to atlassian-confluence.log (except in the case of some exceptions).
• when the AddOn checks for email can be controlled in the Administration -> Scheduled Jobs screen. (this was in a previous release but is an important one)

A version dependency of a Confluence library was causing some 5.5 customers to not be able to enable the plugin. This has been fixed.

Now the plugin can be configured to send email to personal spaces.

There is a new 'strip HTML from emails' setting as well.

Several fixes around handling emails containing HTML (which are pretty much all emails now-a-days).

HTML handling included updates to a number of subsystems such as the command tag system.

This release has been testing using an Office 365 - Microsoft's cloud service which includes an Exchange server. 

Command Tags are now fully functional with more forgiving parsing.

Fixed a number of things:

- HTML now being properly sent through to Confluence (might need to add an option to turn this off later, maybe a command tag too)

- plugin now working properly with Confluence developer license

- fixed SendTopageEmailAddress macro, was incorrectly prepending email address with page name

- now properly stripping CommandTags from email

(this build is for Confluence 3.5)

- fixed SendTopageEmailAddress macro, was incorrectly prepending email address with page name

- now properly stripping CommandTags from email

This is a fairly major release with two important enhancements:

• Command tags have been completely rewritten, fully implemented, redocumented and tested.
• The combination of Confluence's plugin 2 system and the JavaMail API have caused me problems since the start, but this week I finally figured out how to make sure it loads properly every time. This should add a much greater degree of stability.

Some users were having trouble access thing admin screen which I was able to reproduce.

The plugin just needed to be rebuilt using Confluence 3.5 references in the pom.xml

This seems to be caused by a minor bug in the Atlassian SDK

I've been wrestling with a few issues related to licensing integration. Hopefully we are reaching the end of that cycle.

This release is meant to fix 'system errors' users have been seeing on the plugin's admin screen which report various errors about the Licensing system.

Also labels now should work with command tags. I'll report more on that in the next release.

version 1.0.8 - emergency fix - for issue: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/atlassian/upm/license/storage/plugin/PluginLicenseStorageManager

Fixed an error when the "default parent page" is not set on the admin screen. 

Now stripping "re:" "Re:" "Fwd:" from email subjects.

Some typo fixes.

The plugin is now Marketplace ready (assuming it gets approved :),   all the controller logic and admin UI has been completely rewritten. It's also now a plugins-version 2 AddOn which presented some challenges but should ultimately yield several benefits. 

rebuilt for Confluence 4.x and tested

There was a problem with the licensing refactor, this release is just a fix to that.

I've taken a bit of a hiatus from this plugin but am looking to reinvigorate this project.

This release is a build for Conf v 3.5.X and tested against 3.5.11.

Also I rewrote a bit of the licensing system and added a demo license reset option with codes I can distribute.

Thanks to Matt Doar for providing the fixes needed to re-enable comments and allow them to be correctly associated with the sender.

• removed attachments macro from being automatically added. This will be added back as an admin config setting in a future release
• added a config setting defining whether new emails sent to an existing page will update the page's body content or add comments.

fixed a reported null pointer exception that I was not seeing with my integration tests, but a few people reported.

So if you saw this it should be fixed :)

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at biz.artemissoftware.confluence.sendemailtopage.EMailUtils.m2pLogInit(EMailUtils.java:213)

• Fixed a requested feature to be able to add blogs with lables: https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/EMLPG-3
• Also you can now specify that the email should be a blog in the address itself using  name+blog+key+page+title@yourdomain.com

Fixing a couple of issues in the licensing checking. Also when you update with this version you'll get a +30 day extension for trying it out.

this is a quick fix for the issue where the page was not being created when an email was used only with addresses in the BCC field:

https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/EMLPG-7

I layered several new features into the plugin quickly and the combinations of how those features might interact grew rapidly.

This release was about taking a step back, adding some comprehensive unit tests, fixing bugs, and creating a customized log file for the plugin.

------------

• fixed an issue where email messages with text/html were being treated as attachments

• worked around a Confluence "feature" where multiple cron jobs get started - one for each time a plugin is deployed

• created a SendEmailToPlugin log file - this should be extremely helpful to improving the quality of the plugin

wrote a series of "Remote Unit Tests" which I'm very pleased with. These do the following all programmatically:

• - defines the test parameteters
• - creates an email and sends it to a server/account
• - triggers Confluence to fire up the plugin's job
• - remotely connects to Confluence
• - asserts that the relevant content was created and is correct

Having unit tests in place is speeding up development 5x as I was testing emails manually before. Thus hopefully stability will improve rapidly.

Still in beta but this release is a big step towards a 1.0 release though most the improvements are internal.

* now you can add label "tags" to your email text to create them in the pages and blogs.

* also now stripping command tags from the page's contents before being uploaded

*fixed potential issue with illegal

* started developing and testing against Confluence 2.10.3
* fixed bug where text attachments were getting used as the page/comment/blog body
* enhanced it to set the content creator as the person sending the content if their email is matched in the user 'database', otherwise it still defaults to Anonymous

This release extends the trial to 30 days after installation and gives feedback on the admin page about how much time is left. After the trial it continues to work but there are prompts to purchase.

Additional license controls and informational messages have been added to the admin screen.

Looking forward to the next release which is back to the fun stuff - adding real features.

I've done a quick add of both blogging and a simplified email command tag structure recommended by a user.

Now if you include

[[page name]] or [[spaceKey:page name]] that page will be created

[[spaceKey:blog title:blog]] will create a blog entry.

Still some clean up to do, but works.

Added email command tags.

Also added a macro to display the page's unique email address which can be inserted in the page template.

Continuing to add features pushing this towards a 1.0 release.

* POP mail support has now been added.

* The admin screen can now be used to check the settings and whether the email server can be connected to.

I'm half way done adding the ability to including tags within the body that will execute 'email commands' such as where to post the email in Confluence.

This is a minimally functional release. It has only been tested with Google Mail, but does create pages, comments and add attachments across all spaces.

I'm looking to rapidly iterate on this release, but want feedback and to gauge interest as early as possible.
