I recently published a post detailing the SharePoint 2010 SP1 PowerShell changes and, in that post, I mentioned that I was probably going to detail the API changes. Well, here they are. Note that the list below is not a comprehensive one in that I’m not showing every assembly (I do have the changes for every assembly but frankly I just got tired of translating the results into a readable format so I kept it to the more prominent assemblies (or at least the ones that I just happened to have done at the time)). In reviewing the list you see that there’s honestly not a whole lot of noteworthy changes, but that’s okay as part of my reasoning for doing this was to discover whether there were any (don’t get me wrong, there are some, in fact, for me there’s 1 very big one that made this whole exercise worth it – I’ll let you figure out which one that is). If you find any I missed please add a comment so that others can see it as well.
