March 2024
A New Editor
We've replaced our in-app editor component with the new Code Editor.
Importantly, this gives us a platform for future improvements. However, there are immediate benefits to this release: you get inline documentation (press Control+Space when completions are open), hover over methods and classes to see documentation, see completions automatically as you type, find and replace, and more.
This editor has autocomplete for the following code:
- Groovy
- Atlassian REST API
- Custom ScriptRunner-defined script variables
February 2024
Update to Copy Space built-in script
Previously, you could choose to copy the permissions of a space if you had a paid version of Confluence Cloud when working with Copy Space. This is no longer supported, so we removed the option to copy permissions. When you copy a space, default permissions are always applied.
This change applies to both the Confluence Administration built-in script and Space Adminstration built-in script.
January 2024
Increased script timeout limits
We have increased the duration of timeouts for script executions!
The previous limit was set at 120 seconds; now, we have increased this limit to 240 seconds for script executions.
October 2023
Groovy version upgrade
We updated ScriptRunner for Confluence Cloud to Groovy 4 on October 4 2023!
Other new features in Groovy 4:
The following are the most significant new features that have been added in Groovy 4 :
- Switch expressions which, unlike switch statements, are optimized towards branches that handle one case and break out rather than fall through to the next case.
- Sealed types
- Records
- Ranges have been enhanced with support for ranges open on the left, for example,
3<..5, or both sides, for example,0<..<3 - Support for annotating generic types, for example
List<@IntRange(min = 0, max = 10) Integer>
Please have a look at the Groovy 4 Release Notes for a complete list of new features.
