This document describes the changes in EPiServer 7 Connect for Sharepoint.

About this release

New features:

EPiServer 7 CMS support.
Microsoft SharePoint 2013 support.
Selectable export targets for Microsoft SharePoint libraries. Allows for you to choose how Microsoft SharePoint library items should be exported to EPiServer 7 CMS - as pages or as files.

Improvements:

Enable Basic Authentication as a separate installer feature.
Virtual Path Provider for SharePoint as a separate installer feature.
A virtual name can be specified for Virtual Path Provider for SharePoint during installation. Allows to add new providers to an EPiServer CMS site with the installer.
Supported library types are configurable for Virtual Path Provider for SharePoint.
Settings for the SharePoint solution are now stored in SharePoint database instead of a separate XML config file.
The library name is not added to the exported file path when pushing files from Microsoft SharePoint to EPiServer 7 CMS, which provides better control of the target folder structure.
There is a possibility to configure a list of available EPiServer page types when creating an item in SharePoint. Selected page type will be used when item is exported to EPiServer CMS as a page.
