This is a recommended update release for PointFire 365 for SharePoint Online, part of Office 365.  It includes many bug fixes and adds some significant new functionality.  The June release will be a mandatory release.

This release adds support for new and changed Microsoft functionality and corrects a number of issues in version 2.5.0.  If you were provided with an interim release numbered v2.5.0.x, you should update to this release.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

In this release, all of our PowerShell scripts are switching from the legacy SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline module, which stopped being maintained over a year ago, to the new PnP.PowerShell module.

The PF365 installation script will uninstall the old one and install the new one on the workstation if that has not already been done. If no one has yet run the command "Register-PnPManagementShellAccess", you must get a global admin to consent for the Tenant. This only has to be done once for the entire tenant.

Resolved Issues

• If the app in the app catalog was checked out by another user, it gave an error message but continued installation
• Sys.InvalidOperationException error message in some contexts when using "Translate Page" option in footer.
• Font color of the "PointFire Translator" link in footer is not changing when changing theme.
• Some column names in SharePoint site templates were not translating when Microsoft gave them non-unique GUIDs
• Performance issue and possible throttling PointFire while a modern page is being edited.
• In installer script, some sites were not updated if permissions in parent site and in subsite differed
• When language is toggled, sometimes some of the UI ("Edit" for example) did not change until next page load
• Opening a new tab on a modern page seems to reset the "Filtered" toggle to "On"
• Change the language, toggle the filter, then navigate to another site, language menu option is sometimes not showing.
• In Manage Variations, when selecting "Save & Publish", when unlinking one file and linking another, the change to the unlinked file is not published.
• Site title sometimes did not translate 

PointFire makes SharePoint truly multilingual and lets your users collaborate in their language.  Two different users going to the same page on the same site will each see it almost entirely in their language, both UI and content, without using Variations.
