Once we upgraded the connector to 1.3 the autocomplete/autosuggest in the search bar is no longer working. Is this a configuration issue or a bug?

Hi,
The autocomplete in the search bar should work if you have "Confluence Only" selected. Unfortunately we have not yet been able to implement a similar implementation for the SharePoint search... I hope that we will be able to investigate this in a future release.
Cheers,
Joe.

With this plug-in, is there a macro available to list all the documents within a document library from SharePoint?

There sure is! Take a look at Using the SharePoint List Macro

Thanks for that. I incorrectly assumed since the parameter in the macro was 'list' it could only read from lists in SharePoint.

No problem! I can understand your confusion. We rely on the fact that in SharePoint, a Document Library is just a specialised kind of list. I will update the wording on the page to do a better job of explaining that it definitely works with document libraries,
