News


Confluence outage, early morning, Sunday, January 4th

The Confluence wiki will be unavailable for up to half an hour between 4 am and 8 am on Sunday, January 4th, for routine patching of the operating system of the machine on which it runs.


Extended Confluence outage, Sunday, January 11th

Confluence will be unavailable beginning at 6 am on Sunday, January 11th, while we upgrade the version of Confluence from 4.3.7 to 5.6.5.  We expect the upgrade to take much of the day.

July 2014 upgrade complete

We upgraded Confluence from version 3.5.16 to version 4.3.7 on Sunday, July 20th.

There are a number of new features now available.

If you use Confluence macros, additional pieces of code that extend the standard Confluence capabilities, you might like to review our list of macros which no longer function and will display an error  after the upgrade.  We have replacements for some of these macros.  Also have a look at our list of new macros.

Confluence account clean up

We are starting a process to deactivate Confluence accounts belonging to graduated students and staff and faculty who have left the university. This process is reversible and does not remove pages or other content added by these users. Please let us know by writing to confluence at cornell.edu if there are any questions or concerns about this process.
