## Update

- the new minimum version of Confluence that the app is compatible with is Confluence 7.1
- **Confluence v7.15+** compatibility update

## Bug Fixes

- resolved a problem causing some metadata field characters to be encoded as HTML entities rather than text letters/symbols
- [`metadata-report`](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMALACM/pages/656579099) macro updated to allow a user to specify a page using the root field page id eg` id:123456`. This can be used when a page title contains a "**,**" (comma) to avoid the macro truncating the remainder of the report assignment when the comma is encountered
