We’ve released a minor bugfix update of the Gliffy Plugin for Confluence. Any customer who exports PDF’s of wiki pages from Confluence or has Anonymous users editing diagrams will want to upgrade to this release. You can download this updated plugin via the repository client, or on our download page. The updates in this release include:

• Fixed issue which caused diagrams saved by anonymous users to throw errors when they were edited.
• Fixed issue where diagrams in PDF exports of wiki pages containing diagrams with i18n names didn’t render correctly

Restart Confluence after installing any update to the Gliffy Plugin for Confluence to ensure you get back up and running quickly.

Issues resolved:

• Improved performance of license checking code. Instead of counting the number of Confluence users which was costly in terms of time, we now compare the purchased Gliffy Plugin license against the purchanse Confluence license.
• Improved performance of Extractor indexing code. Since we only need a small portion of an attachment to check to see if it’s a Gliffy document, we only grab the first 400 characters where as we used to grab the entire document.
• Fixed minor typos

Bugs fixed:

• Fixed user license checking error GLFY-36

Bugs fixed:

• Fixed issue where diagrams appeared ’scrambled’ in some cases.
