Confluence 5.0 will include a major upgrade of AUI (the Atlassian User Interface) to AUI 5.0 to bring Confluence in line with the new Atlassian Design Guidelines. This will also update the version of jQuery that Confluence supports.
There will be visual changes to the appearance of Atlassian UI. Your plugin will look different if it uses AUI. If it does not yet use AUI, your plugin will look out of place in Confluence 5.0. We recommend that you follow the new Atlassian Design Guidelines.
We will be incrementally upgrading AUI in each of our 5.0 EAP releases, starting with Confluence 5.0-m3 available in early November 2012.
The table below shows which screens have been updated thus far. Our goal is to minimise markup changes within each screen. Any markup changes are highlighted in the table.
