After conducting a survey with the User Profile Plugin community in July, we are now pleased to finally present to you release 1.8. Thanks to everyone who participated in the survey, which led to the most important new features. So what's new?
...
Until now, access to the information of the User Profile Plugin was only possible via the raw data from the database. This workaround was quite error-prone and unsupported. With the new release, these problems are a thing of the past. The REST API provides read access to all relevant data of the Plugin:
- The profile data: which information did the users provide in their profile.
- The profile configuration: How did the administrator configure the profile elements.
See the developer guide for further details.
On top of all these new features ,the User Profile Plugin is now compatible with Confluence version 5.2. In addition to that, our developers have made some changes in appearance in accordance with Atlassian Design Guidelines.
Of course we could not implement all requests, such as the synchronization of profile pictures from your user directory in Confluence. But this is all the more reason to look forward to the next release J
