Releases in reverse chronological order:



Release 2025-07-17 - 20250717134800 

Config DB - General

FIXFixed a problem on the Online Update page where the release notes link for MarvelClient 14.5 Win64 binaries pointed to the 14.0 release notes page

Config DB - MC Upgrade UI

FIX
Fixed an issue introduced in Template 20250604 where installing ConnectionsPlugins (or .zip files in general) stopped working. The install instruction no longer added setup.exe for .zip file installation components, leading to an attempt to execute a folder, instead of the executable from within the zip file. When upgrading as SYSTEM, this also caused the UpgradeDirectory folder to inherit the DACL of the safe folder location, leading it to be inaccessible by end users.
FIX
Fixed an issue where indexing installers failed for Notes 14.5 Language/MUI Packs and Cascaded Installers
ENHANCEMENT
Updated nice.exe to 12.0.2 and nice64.exe to 14.5.0


Release 2025-06-04 - 20250604101000 

Config DB - MC Upgrade UI

NEW
Added a new option to MCUpgrade Configurations on the Data Migration tab, allowing to configure duplicate plugin cleanup
FIX
Fixed an issue where custom static progress labels were ignored (instead both static labels always had the same value as progress bar title)
FIX
Fixed an issue where publishing an Upgrade unnecessarily asked whether files should be copied even if latest publishing is enabled (in which case all files are always copied to the publish folder as a prerequisite for distribution to the latest folder and change documentation)
FIX

Fixed an issue where the default values in the field "Old Notes Data Exclude(s)" on the Data Migration tab were missing backslashes (
network:workspacelogs* instead of network:workspace\logs* and network:(IBM|HCL)_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT* instead of network:(IBM|HCL)_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT*.

Note: The (IBM|HCL)_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT* exclude require MarvelClient Upgrade >= 14.5 - alternatively, you can split it in two excludes IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT* and HCL_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT*. Also note that existing upgrade configurations will automatically fix the wrong values when re-saving or re-publishing.

FIX

Fixed an issue where install instructions with custom install folders were computed wrong for cascaded installers - values were passed with ~...\ instead of \"...\". Since MarvelClient Upgrade unzips the cascaded installer automatically, the encapsulation of arguments using ~...\ is wrong.

FIX

Fixed a MarvelClient Upgrade Configuration issue where install instructions were updated and validated in the middle of publishing and not always picked up if changed. Install Instructions are now validated and updated very early when previewing and publishing.

Analyze DB

NEW

Added the ability to create custom charts in the Analyze DB using notes.ini entries of the format:

MC_AnalyzeCustomChart#=My Custom View|view_name_or_alias^2^Chart Title

where MC_AnalyzeCustomChart can have a suffix of 0-99 (i.e. MC_AnalyzeCustomChart0, MC_AnalyzeCustomChart1, etc.), and the entries are added in order. The required elements of the string above are:

exampledescription
My Custom ViewThe name of the chart, as displayed in the drop down list of available charts
view_name_or_aliasThe name or alias of the view that contains the chart data
2Number of categories to display, the only options are 1 = top category only and 2 = top category and subcategory (there is no 3, 4, etc.)
Chart TitleThe title of the chart, displayed in bold letters above the chart
