This is a significant maintenance release with several improvements and new features including new PowerShell support. We highly recommend our existing CopyMove 2013 customers to upgrade. The changes since V3.0.0 include:
- Added support for Minimal Download Strategy (MDS) in site collections.
- Improved item context menu actions. Earlier, the Copy and Move actions always showed in the item context menu regardless of user permissions and CopyMove settings. The actions now only show when one of the following conditions is true:
- CopyMove is not configured to restrict usage by permissions and the actions are enabled on the CopyMove settings page.
- CopyMove is configured to restrict usage by permissions, the actions are enabled on the CopyMove settings page and the user is in a role having the Copy and Move permission flags.
- The state of the CopyMove Ribbon buttons Copy, Move and Export are now linked to the permissions of the selected items. Buttons are disabled if one or more selected items require more permissions than granted to the user.
- Support for moving in-place records while preserving the record declaration status. However, only authorized users will be allowed to move records. The undeclaration setting on the Record Declaration Settings page will determine the group of authorized users. The setting "Only list administrators" limits the group to site collection administrators while the setting "All list contributors and administrators" only limits the group to users with contribute access to the items being moved.
- New PowerShell support with the following Cmdlets included:
- Get-SPPLicense: Retrieves the CopyMove license key as a string.
- Set-SPPLicense: Updates the CopyMove license key from a string.
- Get-CopyMoveSettings: Retrieves the CopyMove farm settings or site settings as an XML string.
- Set-CopyMoveSettings: Updates the CopyMove farm settings or site settings from an XML string.
- Copy-SPPItem: Copies list items, documents and folders with full fidelity.
- Move-SPPItem: Moves list items, documents and folders with full fidelity.
- Export-SPPItem: Exports list items, documents and folders from a SharePoint list or library to a ZIP file.
- Export-SPPList: Exports all items, documents and folders from a SharePoint list or library to a ZIP file.
- Import-SPPItem: Imports list items, documents and folders from a ZIP file to a SharePoint list or library.
- Set-CopyMovePermissionLevel: Updates CopyMove permission flags on a SharePoint permission level.
- Improved installation scripts.
- Fixed issue where document ids were not preserved on moves.
- Fixed issue for Web Applications with classic mode authentication where required user field values are dropped after being entered manually by the user in the required fields dialog.
- Fixed error "Unable to serialize workflow" when using the Copy or Move workflow activity in an asynchronous workflow.
- Fixed SharePoint 2010 content database upgrade issue 'The feature with Id 404823a5-56d8-4c21-9f12-d2cb7cbbe974 is referenced in the database, but is not installed on the current farm. The missing feature may cause upgrade to fail when upgrading SharePoint 2010 content databases to SharePoint 2013. The upgrade error shows when the CopyMove 2010 site feature is activated in one or more site collections.
