This thread contains Site Provisioning Assistant release notes

Symptom: Unable to update the parent site from the Provisioning Profile Edit Template page

The parent site can now be updated from the Provisioning Profile Edit Template page.

Feature: Site Reporting

Excel documents can be produced on a schedule providing basic site information like owner, location, properties, and last accessed date. 

Feature: Tokens representing User fields are now supported by the Group Configuration Provisioning Template

User field tokens can now be used by the Group Configuration Provisioning Template. When a user field token is found, the users selected in the field replace the token content. This allows a dynamic user set to be added to new or existing SharePoint Groups.

Symptom: Site Collection Owner added as a member of new SharePoint Groups

SharePoint Groups created by the Group Configuration Provisioning Template contain the site collection owner as a member. This account is no longer added as a member of the new group.

Symptom: New Site missing Access Request data

When a new site was create it was missing the Access Request data. Access Request data for new sites are now added if the Web Application allows access requests and the requesting user has an e-mail address.

Symptom: SharePoint Groups missing from the Quick Launch menu

SharePoint Groups created by the Group Configuration Provisioning Template are not added to the quick launch menu located on the People and Groups page.

Feature: Site Groups Provisioning Template Support for Owners, Members and Visitors

The Site Group Provisioning Template allows a Provisioning Profile administrator to define which groups to designate as the Owner, Member and Visitor groups for a new site.

Symptom: Provisioning Templates were being loaded from alternate Provisioning Management Sites

When two or more Provisioning Management sites exist on the same web application the Site Provisioning Assistant would load Provisioning Templates from the first site accessed. As a result the other Provisioning Management sites would use the wrong Provisioning Templates. The Provisioning Templates are no longer cached across a Web Application which corrects the issue. In addition, you no longer have to 'Refresh' the Provisioning Template Providers list for changes to take effect.

Symptom: Error Editing Provisioning Requests Without Provisioning Templates

When editing a Provisioning Request list item the update process would cause an exception if the Provisioning Request contained no Provisioning Templates.

Symptom: Error setting the 'Request Access E-mail' for sites with inherited permissions

If a site with inherited permission was provisioned and the requesting user had a valid e-mail address, an error would occur when trying to set the site's Request Access E-mail. Request Access E-mail options can only be set for sites with unique permissions.
