Improves the performance and stability of the content
deployment feature and of the Variations feature. Adds a new command to the Stsadm.exe tool. This tool
provides the following functionality:
Lets a SharePoint administrator use the Variations
feature to scan a site for errors, report the errors, and fix certain
problems.Finds and repairs missing peer relationships and
corrupted entries in the internal variations relationships list.Handles the propagation of large volumes of variations
content in a more manageable way.Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft Office Access services

even if there is no SharePoint root site. Fixes display issues that cause calculations to appear
incorrect in some cases. Improves connections to cubes by using .odc files in
non-English cases. Improves the performance of programmatic
scenarios. Fixes conditional formatting in Mozilla Firefox
browsers. Improves support for generating Excel Web Access Web parts
on new sites.Microsoft Office Groove Server (64-bit version only)
4,
Office Groove Server 2007 Data Bridge now limits the
number of file-sharing workspaces to 64 to make sure that all workspaces can be
synchronized. This limit applies only to newly added file-sharing workspaces.
If you already have more than 64 file-sharing workspaces, you can continue to
use them. Improves synchronization reliability. Groove Server 2007 Manager can be installed and run with
SQL Server 2008. Improves the Groove Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) connectivity and auto-activation functionality. Improves error reporting in the Groove Relay Server.
Improves the robustness of Groove Relay Server.
Forms Server
4,
Improves performance of large browser forms on InfoPath
Form Services, both for memory usage and for page load time. Improves reliability of Forms Server and of Microsoft
Office SharePoint Server by addressing the previous behavior in which an
upgrade of an administrator-approved form template triggers an IIS
reset. Improves the Digital Signature functionality for InfoPath Forms Services. Improves the performance of large browser forms on
InfoPath Form Services (IPFS) by reducing the size of InfoPath templates that
are published to the IPFS. Also improves the speed at which forms are rendered.
Project Server
4,
Modifies the queue service to prevent it from using large
volumes of memory over long periods. Improves the performance of certain database table
indexes. Improves cost resource functionality. For example, the
server now correctly handles tasks that have material or work resources
assigned to the same task. Improves certain areas such as resource plans, build team,
and the server scheduling engine. Search Server
4,
Improves the reliability and stability of WSS crawl, of
SharePoint crawl, of crawling through a very large corpus, and of backup
restore. Introduces a new command to the Stsadm.exe tool that lets
a SharePoint administrator tune the Query processor multiplier parameter. For
example, the Query processor multiplier can be used to tune the query
performance for SSP indexing content sources that have highly restrictive
permissions and many duplicates. Improves the accuracy of searches that involve numbers.
For example, there is additional support for large numbers in which a comma is
used to separate every three digits (for example, 1,000,000), for numbers that
are between 9 and 40 characters, and for numbers that are separated by spaces.
