The File Version can be found on the Version tab above Description and Copyright). This hotfix updates the File Version of the NetworkedPlanet.SharePoint assembly to 2.1.6.0 - if the file version shown is greater than or equal to 2.1.6.0, then you do not need to apply this hotfix.
Pre-Requisites
Upgrade to TMCore SP5 (if running an earlier version) to avoid issues with faceted search components in the SharePoint Module.
Upgrade Instructions
1. Download the Hotfix 6 package.
2. The package is provided in a compressed ZIP file. Unzip the package on a machine in the server farm.
3. Upgrade the NPSharePoint.wsp solution. The exact command-line you use will depend on how you want to schedule the upgrade, but will be similar to:
stsadm -o upgradesolution -name NPSharePoint.wsp -filename NPSharePoint.wsp -allowgacdeployment -allowcaspolicies -local

Change Log
- ENHANCEMENT: Optimized update of associated topic fields to reduce the number of database writes required when saving a SharePoint list item.
Added more logging of SharePoint object close and disposal.
- ENHANCEMENT: Added check to ItemUpdated event receiver to check whether a double event was caused by a check-in. If so, do not do processing for check-in events.
- BUGFIX: Amended the site deletion code so that topics for sub sites are correctly marked as superceded if the site is the root site of a site collection. This allows the WebCleanUp timer task to successfully remove any topics of the superceded sites on its next run.
- BUGFIX: Site deletion - if a site deletion fails in SharePoint for any reason, the WebCleanUp timer task that runs 2 minutes after the delete event will now also check whether the site still exists and if so set the psi back to PUBLISHED.
