Release 4.3.0
Summary
This version is all about inline comments: There’s a completely new section in pages and news articles to display this type of comment, you can post a reply to it even easier, and completed inline comments will be hidden in the app from now on.
Also, administrators can now view the status for mobile connections of a user, there is a new backend check for basic authentication, and we have massively improved stability and reliability of mobile connections via the Linchpin Mobile Gateway in data center environments with 1+ nodes.
Details
New features:
- Reworked inline comments (iOS & Android app): On pages and news articles, there is now a button in the comments section that leads to the new view for inline comments, if such comments are available for the content being viewed. In the new inline comments view, you can view each comment and its replies individually and in an organized way. You can post your own reply directly from the new inline comments view.
- Reworked inline comments (Confluence backend): A new interface has been added for improved retrieval of inline comments via the mobile app. This now makes it possible to retrieve inline comments independently of regular page comments, read hierarchies within the comment structure, and filter completed inline comments.
- Display mobile connection status: There is now the possibility to view the status for mobile connections of a user in the administration area of Linchpin Mobile. We have summarized more information at https://seibert.biz/linchpinmobileconnectionsettingsdoc.
Improvements:
- Basic authentication check: It is now automatically checked if Basic Authentication is enabled for an instance on which Linchpin Mobile is used. If this is not the case, a notice is displayed in the Linchpin Mobile administration area. For more information, visit https://seibert.biz/linchpinmobilebasicauth.
- Fail-safe Gateway connection in Data Center environments: When using Linchpin Mobile in a data center environment with multiple nodes, if the connection to the Linchpin Mobile gateway is enabled, another node will automatically be connected should the node currently connected to the gateway fail. This reduces potential downtime for mobile use to a maximum of 60 seconds. For more information, visit https://seibert.biz/linchpinmobileconnectionsettingsdoc.
- Aura macro rendering: Macros of the Confluence app Aura – Beautiful Formatting Macros are now displayed in a mobile optimized representation.
Bugfixes:
