Service Pack 1 for SharePoint 2010 Coming Soon…
by   sharepointblog@live.com   on  5/16/2011 3:00 PM

​Author:  Bill Baer, Senior Technical Product Manager, Microsoft Corporation

As we near the release of Service Pack 1 in late June 2011 we wanted to take a moment to share some of the important new functionality that will be brought to SharePoint 2010 with Service Pack 1.  Service Pack 1 represents stability, performance, and security enhancements that are a direct result of your feedback and designed to extend the value you are experiencing with SharePoint 2010.  
 
At this time we’re ready to share some of these improvements and as we move closer to late June 2011 we’ll be providing additional insight into additional functionality and specific fixes.
 
Site Recycle Bin

Service Pack 1 will introduce long awaited Site Recycle Bin functionality that enables self-service recovery of site collections and sites.   In the past IT Professionals were tasked with restoring entire databases to recover deleted site collections and sites and would generally require expensive restore environments to support the task.  Now in Service Pack 1 administrators can quickly and easily recover site collections and sites accidentally deleted by their owners in a process similar to that of the Recycle Bin we have for Lists, Libraries, and Documents.

Shallow Copy
If you’re using Remote BLOB Storage you’ve probably realized that when moving Site Collections (Move-SPSite) between content databases each unit of unstructured data (BLOB) was round tripped (I.e. uploaded and subsequently downloaded again) serially during the move.  This operation was both time consuming and resource intensive.  In Service Pack 1 we reduce that overhead by enabling “shallow copy” when moving Site Collections between databases where Remote BLOB Storage is used.  New Shallow Copy functionality with the Move-SPSite CmdLet enables moving site collections between content databases without moving the underlying unstructured data, i.e. Microsoft Word documents, PowerPoint Presentations, etc. significantly increasing performance and reliability for organizations using Remote BLOB Storage by simply updating the pointers to those objects in the destination content database.
 
StorMan.aspx
In SharePoint 2010 we removed StorMan.aspx (Storage Space Allocation) (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982587/EN-US) which in previous versions of SharePoint enabled granular management and insight into storage.  For example, the page would show you the top 100 documents or document libraries in terms of size.  With that information end users could the page to clean up content from their site(s) by deleting the large content that they no longer needed.  In Service Pack 1 we are bringing back an improved StorMan.aspx, enabling users to better understand where their quota is going and act upon that information to reduce the size of their sites.
 
New enhancements will improve the way you interact with information in SharePoint 2010. Service Pack 1 adds support for working with SharePoint and the Office Web Applications using Internet Explorer 9 and the Google Chrome browser (for a complete list of supported browsers for SharePoint 2010 see also http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526.aspx), support for Open Document Format documents, and more.
 
NOTE
The plan browser support articles on TechNet for SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010 will be updated with the new browser support information as Service Pack 1 nears release in late June 2011.
 
In addition to the new functionality Service Pack 1 provides, as with all Service Packs, it will include a number of fixes  designed to improve your experience with SharePoint 2010 and will include all Cumulative and Public Updates through the April 2011 Cumulative Update.
 
The data below is an accumulated list of all 2010 fixes that have already shipped.  These will be included in our Service Pack 1 release.  This is a combination of Cumulative Updates and Public Updates.  In addition to what is listed below, Service Pack 1 will contain more fixes in each product.  Between now and the time of release, we will publish more details about the coming changes.
Enjoy Service Pack 1.  We made it for you.

SPWebModification Fix & Ribbon Span Fix

Are you going to fix the SPWebModification class, so that it supports namespaces in nodes? I was disappointed to write all my configuration code, then get hit by being unable to deploy a unity section properly because of it's xmlns attribute.

Also are you going to fix the ribbon so that it doesn't output <span></span><span></span> for the event control handlers outside the doc body, making the page non xhtml compliant.

GUIDS!!

Are you going to fix certain parts of SharePoint so that it doesn't reference items by guid, it's so frustrating having things just fall over on a site restore because there referencing guids that are now different. I don't understand why any of the sharepoint code references anything by guid when they can change on a redeploy, or alternatively why the guids are regenerated on redeploy!
