INTRODUCTION

Issues that this hotfix package fixes

The content deployment stsadm command RunContentDeplymentJob -deploysincetime does not work correctly.
The Colleague Tracker Web part shows raw HTML when changes are displayed for an HTML profile property. However, you expect the Web part to interpret the HTML.
The table of contents Web part does not display all nodes in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
You have two zones for a Web application: a default zone and an alternative zone. You find that the search scope for the alternative zone returns no item counts.
The SharePoint spelling checker cannot recognize keywords that are updated in the "Custom Dictionary.txt" file.
You perform a search on a property that is mapped to the date/time column of a SQL Server database through Business Data Catalog (BDC).The search returns a date/time value that is incorrect. The day value that is returned differs from the correct value by one day. The time value that is returned is also incorrect.
You cannot edit an existing crawl schedule if the schedule description contains characters that have accents.
If you enable the Page Expiration feature, you receive an e-mail that contains two links when the page is about to expire. However, the second link in the e-mail is invalid.
After you install this update, the profile synchronization feature will be changed so that you can synchronize content databases even if the database status is "Offline."
You enable the publishing feature and change the site logo before the first content deployment. However, the new site logo is not deployed on the first content deployment.
You have two variation labels, a source label and a destination label. If you rename a sub-site in the destination label, the variation propagation fails. Then, you receive the following error message:
A new page did not get created under Label fr by the variation system for source page <URL>. The list item <ItemName> cannot be imported because its parent web does not exist.
Consider the following scenario. You have two host-named site collections. Each site collection has an image that is called Logo.gif. Additionally, the blobcache is enabled. In this scenario, you browse the first site collection, and then the Logo.gif image is put in the blobcache. When you browse the second site collection, the Logo.gif image from the first site collection is displayed. However, you expect to see the Logo.gif image from the second site collection.
"All sites," "People," and "This site" search scopes are available only for English language sites. Sites that are written in other languages show only the "This site" search scope.
You click View My Site in Microsoft Office Outlook. The site that you want to access belongs to a user who has an apostrophe in his e-mail address. Then, you receive the following error message:
User not found.
