Fixed: Confluence: Reference to {cloak} markup hides content
Development attempts to use the {cloak} macro to simulate drop downs in Confluence were removed from the shipping product except for drop down end behaviors.
Fixed: WebWorks Help 5.0: Set correct release version in "version.htm"
The cross-site scripting issue against WebWorks Help 5.0 was difficult to patch in deployed help sets due to the lack of valid version information.
