&nbs= p;

- Removed sections where SPSite and SPWeb objects were improperly disposed

&nbs= p;

Setup Version 2.0.0.9

Assembly version 2.0.0.0

&nbs= p;

- The Text column in Discussion Groups is now properly included in the feed

- Picture library images are now properly added to the feed even when a description = is not available

- Fixed b= ug where anonymous access required the use of “Entire Web Site” instead of simply “Lists and Libraries”

- Added f= eed:// and <link> elements to PageView.xsl

- Lower l= imit of TTL is now 1 minute instead of 0

Setup Version 2.0.0.8

Assembly version 2.0.0.0

&nbs= p;

- Build s= cript for 2.0.0.7 failed to include updated code access security

permissions; this resulted in fai= lure of authenticated aggregation requests.

- Fixed l= ogging bug where the TimeToLive value of Deactivated = feeds caused

the logging mechanism to fail.

&nbs= p;

Setup Version 2.0.0.7

Assembly version 2.0.0.0

&nbs= p;

- For authenticated feed requests, user credentials are now applied to outgoing =

aggregation requests. In v2.0.0.6, all aggregation requ= ests were basically

treated as anonymous; this obviou= sly resulted in the inability to aggregate

feeds which required authenticati= on.

&nbs= p;

NOTE: If domain policies disallow delegation, aggregation requests

are essentially demoted to anonymous requests as credentials will not

be able to “double hop”. Such behavior is by design and beyond the

scope of the Syndication Generator.

&nbs= p;

- Aggrega= tion error handling and categorization has been substantially improved.

In v2.0.0.6, the feed status woul= d often times hide a variety of issues as

“Inval= idFormat”.

&nbs= p;

Status now includes the following values:

ConnectFailure*

DataReceived

Deactivat= ed

Failed

InvalidFormat

NameResolutionFailure*

NotFound*

NotModified

NotRssFormat*

PendingRetrieval

Timeout*<= o:p>

TrustFailure*

Unauthori= zed*

New categories are marked with an asterisk (*).

&nbs= p;

- Fixed c= rossing protocol bug, where https: and http: urls where appearing

in the wrong context (i.e. naviga= te to the feed using https but see links

to site in http).

- Fixed b= ug where Calculated column values were not correctly parsed for

type information.

- Unautho= rized error messages now include a descriptive link url, which is

also mimicked as a Permalink. This gives rss readers a better opportunity of

differentiating and appropriately caching these messages.

- Minor adjustments to pageview.xsl to improve look/la= yout.

- Help do= cument updated.

- Setup n= ow installs as an “all user” application instead of a “just= for me” application

&nbs= p;

- Compacted feed output by removing <= span class=3DSpellE>whitespace characters. Smaller size results in 2-5% throughput gain.
