Welcome to Collaborator v13.9!
The Collaborator v13.9 release focuses on improvements to performance and security and also adds some minor modifications to the diff viewer and notifications. Please check out the What’s New page to see the full list of Collaborator changes!
Performance
The L2 cache has been increased to improve load time. Additionally, the processing of large commits and files has been improved.
Security
Remote System Link information for issue-tracking tools, like Jira, is now configurable at the template level. Previously, links were enabled at a global level and displayed in every review. Apache Tomcat was also updated in this release, which includes several of its performance and security improvements.

Welcome to Collaborator v14.2!
The Collaborator v14.2 release focuses on improvements of our integration with IBM DOORS Classic, auto-assignment pull request reviewers for GitLab and BitBucket, improvements that simplify Collaborator administration, and also some security improvements. Please check out the What’s New page to see the full list of Collaborator changes!
DOORS Classic Integration
Now DOORS documents with different baselines can be uploaded to Collaborator as different versions of the same document. It allows reviewers to see diffs between different baseline versions of the same document.
Auto-assignment pull request reviewers
Auto-assignment pull request reviewers for GitLab and BitBucket (Cloud and server) was implemented, in addition to already supported auto-assignment for GitHub and Azure DevOps.
Collaborator Administration
Improvements, that simplify Collaborator administration were added: possibility to created template/role configuration by cloning existent ones, search user by user display name, backuping configuration files during Collaborator upgrade, etc. But probably the most important change is merging separate Simulink licensing to general Collaborator licensing - now Simulink integration license is included into general Enterprise Collaborator license. No separate Simulink integration licensing is required, that simplifies license managing.
Security
With Collaborator v14.2, users can now authenticate through Atlassian Jira on-prem (in addition to Atlassian cloud OAuth 2.0 support, that was implemented in 13.7) . Apache Tomcat was also updated to v.9.0.69 , which includes several of its security improvements, and some other security issues were resolved.

Welcome to Collaborator’s plugin for Confluence server v.1.0.0 !
The first version of Collaborator’s plugin for Atlassian Confluence server is available here. The plugin allows Confluence users to create reviews, upload exported versions of Confluence documents and requirements to Collaborator, and track review status directly from your Confluence environment.
Confluence plugin needs Collaborator server v.14.1 or higher to enable all implemented features (it works with older server’s versions as well, but with one exception - renamed documents are considered as different documents in a review, while with 14.1 and higher versions, Collaborator recognizes them as the different versions of the same document).
Please check Confluence plugin documentation for more details.

Oleg Gontarenko & The SmartBear Collaborator TeamWelcome to Collaborator v14.3!
The Collaborator v14.3 release focuses on improvements to core Collaborator functionality, that is often used by most users, to accelerate the review process and improve its quality.
Better commenting capabilities
- Support multi-line comments in source code
- Ability to attach conversations to a selected areas in MS Word/pdf documents
- Ability to convert comments to defects
- Ability to reference in comments a specific line of another file in review
Easier to see not reviewed yet files in Review Materials
Users can explicitly mark files as reviewed in Diff Viewer. In review materials a user can see which files were already reviewed and can hide these files. It simplifies managing reviews with many files.
Faster processing reviews with many conversations
The logic of conversations promotion was optimized, time needed for new conversations creation and adding comments/defects to already existing conversations was significantly reduced. It’s especially important for the reviews, where there are many conversations in the documents.
