Outlook Plugin Release Notes

Beta version: plugins 3.*

We have released the plugin 3.0.18 to public beta version. This plugin has a streamlined architecture and it handles attachments differently. It does not use the transfer panel, instead attachments are saved as files with ".liquidfiles" extensions in the body of the email message, which allows\ user to save the item as draft and continue editing at a later moment. The plugin is lightweight, it loads much faster and is more compatible.
Some advanced functions, such as support for metadata scanners, is not available with v3 plugin yet.
Your feedback on V3 plugin is very appreciated!

Plugin 2.1 required to work with the server 3.7: limited compatibility with 2.0 plugins

We tested LiquidFiles server 3.7) with the plugin version 2.0.137 (latest GA before the hotfix) and made sure that the basic functionality is supported. We still recommend using plugin version 2.1.1 with server version 3.7 as the 2.1.1 plugin fully supports all functionality of the 3.7 server while maintaining backwards compatibility.

Please note that without API login support (which is being deprecated with 3.7), the older plugins can only use SAML login flow. The plugin version 3.0.137 also supports Session login flow. We strongly recommend upgrade to 2.1 plugin, otherwise user might not be able to login at some point.

The plugins 2.1 will remain compatible with the servers prior to 3.7.
