Below are some important notes on upgrading to SharePoint Connector 1.3 from an earlier version of the connector. For details of the new features and improvements in this release, please read the  SharePoint Connector 1.3 Release Notes.

Restart Required
After upgrading the SharePoint Connector to 1.3.0, we recommend that you restart your Confluence server.
Upgrade Notes
Minimum Requirement is Confluence 3.0.2 or Later
With the release of version 1.3, the SharePoint Connector no longer supports Confluence 2.10.x. The minimum requirement is Confluence 3.0.2 or later. Please refer to the full details of the  supported platforms for SharePoint 2007 and for SharePoint 2010
Deprecated "SharePoint Decorators" Theme
The "SharePoint Decorators" Theme that was shipped in previous versions of the SharePoint Connector has been removed from the product. In its place is the a new plugin module that can be enabled with any Confluence theme.
If you have enabled the SharePoint Decorators theme in one or more Confluence spaces, the spaces will automatically revert to use the global theme after upgrading the SharePoint Connector to version 1.3. If you have enabled the SharePoint Decorators theme as your global Confluence theme, then your instance will revert to use the default Confluence look & feel after upgrading to version 1.3.
Deprected Permission Checker RPC Plugin
Previous versions of the SharePoint Connector required an additional Confluence plugin to be installed; the "Confluence Permission Checker RPC Plugin". This functionality has been rolled into the core SharePoint Connector plugin and the Permission Checker plugin is no longer required.
When upgrading to version 1.3 of the SharePoint Connector, any installed versions of the Permission Checker plugin will automatically be un-installed in order to prevent any compatibility clashes.
