We are delighted at the caliber of applications that we received. After reading through all the wonderful ways these organizations help their communities and how Gliffy diagrams help them achieve their goals more efficiently, we selected Sierra Mountain Music Camp (SMMC) as our grant recipient!

SMMC brings the magic of music to students from fourth grade through college, through 4 choral and 2 orchestral programs. Though SMMC focuses on music, they also give their participants the opportunity to be away at camp and just be kids by participating in outdoor activities like swimming, hiking, arts & crafts, and other camp related activities. Part of their application included a movie of their youth that reminded us of our attempts at the dramatic arts.

If you are a community license user of Atlassian products, you too can enhance your JIRA and Confluence environments with Gliffy diagrams. Simply install the Gliffy Confluence Plugin and Gliffy Jira Plugin and begin drawing!

Stay tuned to hear more about SMMC and their good works in the coming year.

After several months of top secret work, we’re proud to announce the launch our new Confluence 4 compatible plugin!

Gliffy is now as easy to use as the new Confluence 4 editor. We’ve worked hard to make the editing experience as natural and as seamless as possible. No longer will you need to toggle between editing a diagram from the wiki view and updating the diagram layout from the edit view, everything happens in-line with the Confluence 4 editor.

Creating a diagram in the Confluence editor

Editing a diagram in the Confluence editor

We’ve also updated how the diagram appears in the wiki view. We’ve hidden our edit links until you’re ready to interact with the diagram. Once you hover over a diagram, you’ll now be able to zoom larger or edit straight away.

Updated wiki view interaction

Release Notes – Gliffy – Version Plugins 3.5.2

Bug

• [GLIFFY-3754] – Gliffy Attachments are being saved as 'application/octet-stream' and are not being indexed
• [GLIFFY-3755] – Create Diagram link should not be shown for Comments

New Feature

• [GLIFFY-3775] – Add Warning Banner to display for users who are on Chrome on MAC

We have posted a bug report to Google as well. You can track the issue here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=86992

If you run into this issue, the workaround right now is to either click away from the application, or to hit the SHIFT key again.

In the meantime, we’ll see if we can find a more viable workaround to alleviate the issue in the short term.

Google Chrome for Mac was released on June 6th (v12.0.742.91), several days after we certified our plugin release. Unfortunately, customers using this browser will see Gliffy freeze when attempting to bring up the Link Navigator.

This bug fix restores the previous Text Linking functionality when the browser is Chrome 12.x on a Mac. Please be aware that the Link Navigator is also disabled for all versions of Safari.

This release is recommended for all customers.
