WikiTraccs 1.32.41 (Prerelease)

(Pre)release Evolution

v1.32.6

• new: support for Microsoft Edge for all browser-dependent features (interactive login, draw.io preview image generation, whiteboard export, table size optimization, etc.) (roadmap item #165)
• new: auth cookie refresh for interactive authentication mode (blog post)
• new: initial transformation support for Excellentable macros (on-prem only)
• improved: expanding the list of known auth cookie names to make the interactive authentication experience smoother
• fix: space ID was not stored in the space inventory
• fix: masking proxy password in log files
• Confluence Cloud API: switching BACK to synchronous content conversion endpoint to accommodate for NEW extended deprecation date of the synchronous endpoint (Aug 5, 2026) (Extension Note)

v1.32.6 → v1.32.29

• new: first alpha version of the Confluence Inventory Mode, that allows scanning Confluence before the migration to get an inventory of all pages, links, macros, attachments, etc.
  • no SharePoint connection required, only Confluence
  • more information to come and heavy work in progress
    
  • for sure needs some optimizations, so it might not work with 2 million pages out of the box
  • sample link graph, clustering spaces by linked-ness:
    
• new: adding a setting to optionally ignore broken Confluence attachments, which otherwise would prevent a page from being migrated
  • broken attachments will be skipped over and you can see this in the logs
  • read more: Skip Broken Confluence Attachments During Migration
• new: certificate-based authentication for SharePoint Online, using application permissions
  • together with token-based Confluence authentication, this allows automating WikiTraccs migrations
  • supported are certificate path + certificate password, or certificate from the local certificate store via certificate thumbprint
  • read more: Run an Automated Confluence to SharePoint Migration
• new: health monitor for external domains
  • so far, when image downloads from external domains failed, migration speed could considerably slow down due to ongoing retries
  • WikiTraccs now monitors those failed downloads and if they persist, external endpoints will be automatically marked as degraded and future download attempts will be skipped
  • this greatly improves migration speed if you have a lot of pages linking to inaccessible external resources
• improved: status panels in automated browsers now have a colored background to better highlight their use
• improved: images from Confluence-external domains that fail to download are no longer counted as failed transformation as there is nothing that could be done to fix that; however they will still show up in the missing image and inaccessible link metric of each page
• improved: making SharePoint site preparation more resilient to handle SharePoint’s eventual consistency, where newly created lists and fields take some time before being accessible
• improved: the link fixer now fully supports the following scenario:
  1. space A is migrated to SharePoint, has links to space B; during migration, links are transformed to SharePoint links
  2. later, during Confluence cleanup, pages from space B are MOVED to other Confluence spaces C and D; their space keys change to C and D, the ID remains unchanged
  3. spaces C and D are migrated to SharePoint; links on previously migrated space A pages are now broken
  4. running the link fixer will now be able to find those moved pages in SharePoint and will fix links in previously migrated space A pages
• fix: resolved some browser-related quirks around the auth cookie refresh
• fix: error when trying to migrate to the SharePoint tenant root site; this is now officially unsupported and a proper message will be shown

v1.32.29 → v1.32.41

• new inventory reports:
  • site-wide open tasks report
  • site-wide user and groups report
  • site-wide flagged pages report
  • per-space inline comments report
  • per-space draft pages report
  • Migration Duration Estimator links
  • other reporting-related improvements
• new: throttle setting to limit the number of Confluence REST API requests per second
  • find that under Settings → Configure Transformation → Proxy
    
• new: setting to make JSESSIONID cookie optional in Confluence Cloud, since Atlassian seems to deprecate that
  • find that under Settings -> Configure Transformation -> Misc
    
  • use that if WikiTraccs fails to detect a valid Confluence session
• new: automatic regular speed test to measure how fast your internet connection is; for now written to the log
• improved: progress feedback in the GUI
• improved: storing local user cache in new inventory database instead blob cache; speed improvement
• improved: with interactive Confluence authentication, the status panel in the browser now shows which cookies are mandatory and whether those could be found
• improved: anchor links to headings on the same page are transformed to SharePoint heading anchor links (best effort), other anchors are migrated as-is (then broken, but nothing we can do here)
• fix: auto-reload of auth cookie keep-alive browser happening too often; now less often
• fix: intermittent disposed HTTP client exceptions on user data retrieval
• fix: WikiTraccs GUI becomes unresponsive after several hours of running
• fix: Jira issue count macro runs into timeouts on some versions of Confluence, blocking page migration
• fix: pages with duplicate Confluence content ID in SharePoint target site is not handled gracefully and prevents migration from running; this is now properly logged and the affected selector skipped
