Scroll Versions 4.4.0

December 2022

Scroll Versions 4.4.0 is a compatibility release that introduces support for Confluence 8. In order to ensure compatibility with Confluence 8, we've made changes to how Scroll Roles interact with the Scroll Viewport search. 

Important Update Information for Scroll Apps

Due to the required compatibility changes for supporting Confluence 8, the following Scroll Apps should be updated to the latest compatible version at the same time. This is required so that the shared elements, that all these Scroll Apps use, are running the same latest supported version.

Confluence 8 compatible versions:

• Scroll Viewport v2.21.0
• Scroll Versions v4.4.0
• Scroll Translations v4.4.0
• Scroll PDF Exporter v5.9.0
• Scroll Word Exporter v5.9.0
• Scroll CHM Exporter v3.10.0
• Scroll DocBook Exporter v3.10.0
• Scroll EclipseHelp Exporter v3.10.0
• Scroll EPUB Exporter v3.10.0
• Scroll HTML Exporter v3.10.0

The changes related to Scroll Roles have impact only for users who have enabled Scroll Viewport in their Versions or Scroll Translations-managed space. For search to work, we recommend:

• You should not use Scroll Roles. If Scroll Roles are defined, then versioned pages won’t be returned by the search (in Confluence or Viewport) for users that are not members of the defined Scroll Roles. Learn how to replace Scroll Roles with Confluence permissions.
• You should use Scroll Search.

This release also fixes a bug related to specific page restrictions preventing pages from being migrated during a migration to Scroll Documents.
