On December 13, 2023, almost exactly a week after the introduction of Domino 14, Nomad Web 1.0.10 was released. Progress continues in big strides! As with previous versions, the new release includes corrections and bug fixes. Additionally, the product regularly receives new features and enhancements, continuing a tradition of ongoing improvement. The same is true here! One can look forward to an integrated designer, enhancements for HTTP configuration, new languages, and Domino Restyle updates.
New HCL Nomad Web 1.0.10
Nomad Designer
Starting with the most extensive new feature, Nomad 1.0.10 now includes a “Designer” (development tool) within the product. This means you can now create or edit your applications directly from the browser.
With a click in the context menu, you gain access to the new function. It’s important to know that you need at least developer rights on the database for this option to be displayed.
The Designer App opens in a new browser window and can be used immediately. Due to technology constraints, there are some limitations, but this should not deter anyone from taking a look.
Important to know!
The Nomad Designer in Nomad Web 1.0.10 is initially only available in English. This might sound trivial, but it can cause confusion because the Designer is only displayed in the context menu if the browser is also set to English.
In the screenshot, you see the HCL Nomad Client with the identical user in both instances. However, one browser is configured in German while the other is set to English.
Designer and MarvelClient
For all the administrators out there who are wondering how to ensure that their users don’t accidentally or intentionally open the Designer for a database, just because they might technically have the permission to do so.
With MarvelClient, you can of course configure whether a certain user group should be allowed to use the Designer or not.
More new features
Sending Email Offline
Users can now send emails offline via a local mailbox. More information is available in the “Offline Mode” section.
HTTP-Connections
The Nomad server on Domino now allows HTTP in addition to HTTPS. You can read about the Details here.
Optional HTTP-Headers
The server now offers the option to include optional HTTP headers.
Let’s Encrypt-Flows
Now supports Let’s Encrypt for certificate management. You can read more about how this works here.
Language Support
Expanded to include Catalan, Czech, Hungarian, Slovenian, and Thai.
Domino Restyle-Updates
Restyle provides enhanced customization options for theme colors and design components. Users can now adjust various properties like colors, borders, and more to create diverse designs, including colorful or minimalistic action bars. The flexibility extends from rewriting entire themes to tweaking individual properties. Additionally, Restyle introduces a feature allowing users to make copies of applications for restyling, eliminating the need to modify the original application directly. The update also includes the ability to change action icons and selection markers for a more personalized interface. These updates are accompanied by performance improvements, enhancing the overall user experience with Restyle.
A complete list of new features in Nomad Web can be found in the documentation under “What´s new in HCL Nomad…“.
