What's new in SharePlus v2.1
Last saturday we submitted a new update for approval to the app store, SharePlus version 2.1. For the first time we are not shipping any new feature, but we've made some modifications that we believe ship a lot of added value.
The changes released with SharePlus Office Mobile Client v2.1 (both Pro and Lite) are the following:
*SharePoint 2010 full support. We received reports from users having issues with the sync process not caching documents from SP2010 in SharePlus v2.0. After spending some time investigating the causes we found out SP2010's web services are not really 100% backwards compatible :( So we've made the necessary modifications to the sync process to handle SP2010 properly.
*Reader only privileges support. From version 1.0 SharePlus demanded the user configured an account with contribute privileges (typically users belonging to the Members or the Owner's site default groups). This turned out to be a major pain for a lot of users, since contribute permissions at root level are not common in some enterprise scenarios. This was caused by one particular web service to list the subsites of a site.
After several requests from our users we decided to revisit this issue, and we've made one little big change. Now this service is not required anymore, if the account lacks permissions the user will be notified once, and will be unable to browse subsites, and add, edit and delete items, but other than that will be able to use SharePlus normally, including offline features.
One observation regarding the ability to browse subsites is that it can be turned on pretty easily by modifying the list of rights, for the Read permission level in SharePoint (Site Settings > Permissions > Permission Levels > Edit Permission Level), checking the "Browse Directories" option.
*Crash on corrupted lists If one SharePoint site has a list that generates Error 500 on the server SharePlus v2.0 would crash. We've made changes for SharePlus v2.1 to report the error, and carry on.
