See "Using Bulk Import Plug-In" cheat sheet in Help / Cheat Sheets section for details.

Release 1.0.9.200902142316

Performance of list / folders load on list selection of classification wizard is improved
We stopped hiding folder-inherited content types in lists. Even if default Sharepoint WEB GUI does not show them, they exist and are important part of Sharepoint structure.

Classifier / Architect mode of the architect suite is now preserved between application executions
We fixed the issue with navigating to newly created topology items (content types, columns, lists) in the navigation tree

List name uniqueness is maintained in the diagram level when new list is created.
There is a warning during site update in cases of empty group or column name
We updates many toolbar and menu icons as well as fixed missing dialog icons.

We do not have yet the automatic proxy discovery based on Windows registry but this is a good improvement in the auto-update function
