Diff of SharePoint 2013 and 2016 codebase

Hi all,

I have done this the past two versions and every time I learn exactly what changed in the product.  Gives me a ton of stuff to explore and blog about later!  In this version, and as in the past two, there were some surprises that I will share here.  Keep in mind, the build that was released still doesn't have a ton of stuff "wired" up in terms of backend code.  Pretty ridiculous to see people touting "SharePoint 2016 training" based on a build that isn't even a Release Candidate (RC).  It's total bull.

Some pre-reqs that the current code-base requires (and is not installed as part on the installer process):

  • Reporting Services Add-In – SQL R2 2008 – 10.0
  • Reporting Services Add-In – SQL R2 2008 – 11.0
  • SQL Server ADOMD.NET (Analysis Services) – 10.0 
  • Windows Azure Storage 3.0.3.0
  • Microsoft.Azure.GraphClient.FirstClient – ??? – no idea where or what this is…has to do with UserProfiles and sync but is not included and can't be downloaded from what research I have done

Couple that show up that are installedconfigured, yet still interesting:

  • NewtonSoft.Json 6.0 – used in Search
  • System.Web.Http 5.2.2.0 – used in Search
  • Microsoft.Data (5.3 and 5.6) – seems some dlls have old 5.3 references that have not been updated

Interesting things I noticed:

  • ChicagoIntegration.dll – check it out…and the fact it has 0.0.0.0 as its version…LOL – used for ContentPush
  • Assemblies moved from GAC_MSIL to GAC_64 – yeah, much more performant for the target processor.  Many Search Dlls fell into this world.  I'll leave it to you to find the rest and see where performance was improved.
  • All things SilverLight and windows phone are gone!
  • SharePoint Education is now dead…as much as Rob thought it didn't ship before…LOL
  • Ceres Flows are not longer seperate Dlls…still need to find where these went!
  • New Ceres OfficeGraph and ContentPush Dlls are included now
  • Portable libraries are now included in the install
  • New format handlers for search and Office Excel files
  • New FileStorage code for Azure Storage interation
  • New O365 Resource discovery code
  • New Directory code with ServerStubs for CSOM

    There were a few Dlls added to the codebase.  These include (some are not verified and should be removed, but I only have so much time in the day):
