Atlassian Stash – new product, first experience

Stash Logo
On may 1st 2012, Atlassian released a new product called Stash. Stash is a Git repository manager. People that know Atlassian would say “Hey, isn’t it the same as FishEye?”. Well no, it’s not the same. FishEye is for looking at ALL of your source code, in any source repository. Stash is a repository manager for Git only. So how is it different then?

Remote Apps for Atlassian OnDemand

Since Atlassian released their OnDemand platform, customers have been asking for more plugins to be made available there. Until now, only 7 plugins are offered on the new platform.

The current approach of in-VM plugins incurs a very high cost in development, QA, and support time. This is due to tight coupling and increased security and stability risks.

The Atlassian Remote Apps project aims to bring the benefit of third-party extensibility to OnDemand by dramatically lowering the costs and risks related to third-party code.

We investigated the possibilities to setup a remote app for enabling Numbered Headings for OnDemand. Here are our findings…

Confluence 4.2 makes collaboration easier than ever

Confluence 4.2 was released earlier today and it promises to make collaboration even better. It’s easier to create rich content, easier to share it and easier to discover it.

Apart from the previously announced features (such as better sharing and easy user invites), it’s got some stuff we really really like

  • Content pages, blogs and comments just got a lot more Like-able
  • No more loading with the new inline Quick Comments
  • See what’s trending in Confluence with the Popular Content Stream
  • Discover the most viewed, commented and liked content in a Weekly Summary
  • Creating good looking, clean pages is a breeze with Page Layouts

Have a look at the official release page for more info.

Numbered Headings Among Confluence’s 2011 Highlights

Numbered Headings,  our very own Confluence plugin, is one of only 7 plugins to have made it to Confluence’s highlights of 2011 list! You’ll see it under ‘Incredible Add-ons’ at number 15.

Our plugin automatically numbers headings, any way you want and it’s fully compatible with the new editor in Confluence 4 (see it in action).

Numbered Headings is our contribution to Confluence’s rich library of free & open source plugins and we’re very happy about the 9,000 plus downloads but more so, about the overwhelmingly positive responds we’ve gotten from the community!

So thank you all for your input and support!

Upgrading to Confluence 4

Confluence 4 was an update we were really excited about because of the fantastic new editor (see our previous blog post on the matter). So naturally, we wanted to upgrade as quickly as possible…

But upgrading such a mission critical system is never that easy, especially when your environment is under constant strain due to heavy use and when there are lots of third party plugins on there. We were rather relieved to note that Atlassian managed to make the process as easy and painless as possible.
