  • Fixed an issue where sometimes the connector did not index all attachments in full crawls.

  • Some conflicting dependencies were removed to resolve errors.

  • A missing dependency, guava-retrying, was added to resolve a NoClassDefFoundError error.

  • A bug was fixed that resulted in the connector performing full crawls instead of recrawling as expected.

  • Known issue: JavaScript evaluation is not functional at this time.

  • Known issue: The counter values in the Datasources > DATASOURCE_NAME > Job History view do not reflect actual values, when the datasource uses the Web V2 connector.

January 6, 2023 - Sharepoint Optimized v1.1.0

The Sharepoint Optimized V2 connector is upgraded to v1.1.0. This upgrade includes several bug fixes.

  • The connector now accepts URLs with spaces.
