After much delay, Confluence 2.0 has been officially released!
Most notably, there is now a "rich text" editor (WYSIWYG in geek-speak), which even allows you to switch to wiki markup and back without a page refresh (mmm… AJAXy goodness), labelling (ala del.icio.us and Flickr — with more AJAXy goodness), a bunch of other features and improvements and PLENTY of bug fixes (full list).
The release notes are here.
It seems Charles couldn't help himself when writing them, though:
I bet Nick's not too happy about that. 
Well, it’s more that Nick has been on hiatus from the Confluence team with the whole atlassian-user thing, so I had to find some way to shoe-horn him into the credits.
He got his revenge later in the evening by forcing me to consume two rather large Sambuca shots in close succession. I don’t remember much after that.
Sounds a bit like my birthday… (although I blame
evilgoodevil Nick for that one :))
