CRM 2011 UR12 and SharePoint Integration

After having applied the Polaris upgrade (update roll-up 12) the native CRM/SharePoint document integration stopped working. There were two different ways in which this issue manifested itself:

1. When clicking on the Documents link we just received the "spinning wheel" and the page did not load
2. On the occasion that it did succeed to load, the "New" and "Add" buttons did not work i.e. nothing happened at all when clicking those buttons preventing new documents from being added.

As I discovered, it is apparently necessary to update the List Components of SharePoint following the application of UR12. The updated List Components can be downloaded from the following location:

This issue is also described in the following KB article along with the steps required for installing the List Component:
