Major Improvements: MarvelClient for Linux, new Toolbar management Action, new Numeric Condition, new Restore feature from Analyze database


Configuration Database

FIXFixed the navigation pane to display a scroll bar if it doesn't fit on screen entirely
FIXFixed a problem where attachments in both the configuration database (DLL Update mostly) and the analyze database are no longer visible in Notes 8 releases
A "Save Attachment" action has been added to DLL Update documents
FIXFixed a typo in german and english translation of two field labels
FIXFixed the problem that entering a reference into the replica id filter in masschanges did not work
FIXAdded support for the "After Login - Before Sync" runtime option (now called "After Login - Before Roaming"!) for backup task actions - requires DLL update
- also requires config db update and resave of any backup action previously set to run "After Login - before Sync" (this will be changed to "After Login - Before Roaming" automatically)
CHANGEDue to the new restore feature (see below), the configuration database has been changed to automatically close for users that have access level Author or less (Depositor or Reader) *without any roles* - if you need users with access level author or below to be able to access/open the configuration database, you can simply give them any role free of choice (including, but not limited to a role such as [dummy], [allowopen] or similar).
CHANGE / ENHANCEMENTAdded %LOOKUP_MAILFILE_AUTODETECT% as placeholder to location management, which will lookup the mailfilepath according to the type of location being managed:
for locations pointing to a local mailfile this will resolve the filepath of the local mailfile replica (if any) for the current user,
for locations pointing to the server mailfile this will resolve the filepath of the server mail database for the current user.
- requires DLL update
ENHANCEMENTOnline Update can now also download .so (Linux) and .dylib (Mac) releases
If you would like to receive .so or .dylib releases via Online Update, too, please contact us
(we do not issue all three filetypes to all customers by default, as EVERY "DLL" Update document would then be three times as large)
ENHANCEMENTDLL Update documents now allow to select target platform(s) (naturally only if more than one platform is available from within a DLL update document)
ENHANCEMENTAdded toolbar management (not yet toolbar ENTRY/BUTTON management) to selectively show/hide ("basic client", also in Eclipse client) toolbars - requires DLL update
A new toolbar action has been added to the Manage action menu in the configuration database
ENHANCEMENTAdded an optional formula filter field to further filter locations affected by a location management action with a Notes @Formula:
e.g. SELECT MailType="0"
or SELECT @Lowercase(MailServer)="cn=myservername/o=totestfor"
- requires DLL update
ENHANCEMENTAdded an option to enforce the local path of a replica in desktop icon actions
- if a local replica already exists with a different path/filename, it is moved on OS level along with its fulltext index according to the path enforced
- requires DLL update
ENHANCEMENTA new view Debug\Rollback/Restore has been added to the configuration database to monitor Rollback actions created from the Analyze database

Analyze Database

FIXFixed the navigation pane to display a scroll bar if it doesn't fit on screen entirely
FIXFixed the java applet table to now also work in Notes 8 (Windows only)
FIX / CHANGEThe view "by Directory" has been fixed to properly display the Data and Program directory categories (these were previously interchanged)
In addition, for Linux clients the respective directories are now properly categorized, too (previously not categorized due to / instead of \)
CHANGEThe java applet table is now completely disabled for Linux & Mac (as Java applets are not supported on those platforms by IBM)
- automatic checking for as to whether the client has the proper settings to be able to display the enhanced java applet table is now only done on Windows
CHANGEChanged the cell label "Windows Directory" to "Platform Directory"
CHANGE / ENHANCEMENTThe views "notes.ini by user" and all addon views that were previously categorized by "notes username only" have been changed to now being categorized by "notes username + 'rest' of backup/upload key" (for other views this was not possible due to high risk of the resulting list being > 32K, which would then lead to the respective documents being excluded from the view / not being displayed at all)
ENHANCEMENTAdded information about operating system into both a new view as well as user upload docs
ENHANCEMENTAdded percentage values to the views "by OS", "by Client HW Type" and "by Notes & MC Release"
ENHANCEMENTAdded information about the total size of attachments per user (partially also number of attachments) to the "Users ..." views
ENHANCEMENTAdded a file overview table tab to user upload documents, from which attachments can be clearly identified as to when they where updated, and from which they can also be launched directly
Note: The file overview table requires JavaScript to be enabled in User Preferences for both the new overview display AND rollback/restore
ENHANCEMENTAdded a "select files for restore" option to the new user upload document file overview table - this requires A NEW ROLE [Rollback] in Analyze database!
NOTE that it more or less only make sense to rollback desktops and/or bookmarks from the analyze database - as other files may be locked after login, which is when rollback actions are applied with a Domino database being the rollback source.
Also NOTE that restore works with any DLL from release 1.5.3.218 and up, together with configuration database design version 20080928185500 and up.
Last but not least NOTE that restore/rollback actions require the targeted user to have Author(!) rights in the configuration database - this is necessary so that a user can flag her/his restore/rollback document as "processed/done"
ENHANCEMENTAdded a new numeric rule to - for example - check whether <notes:version_major> is >= (greater or equal to) 8 - and create similar numeric rules; requires DLL update

.DLL Updates (Windows)

NEWMarvelClient is now also available for Linux for customers on maintenance - if you'd like MC/CA for Linux, too, please contact us;
we will then create a Linux release for you with every update automatically, too.
FIXFixed a problem that prevented the DLL to work at all in Notes 5 releases <= 5.0.8
FIXFixed a problem in single-user installations with roaming (multiuser installs roamed just fine); previously only the last backup date was compared with the most recent roamingset - if a different user had backed up her/his own configuration later than the backup date of the user wanting to roam onto a client, roaming did not occur; the fix now also compares as to whether the last user was actually different from the one wanting to log on and if so enforces the new users last backup/roamingset regardless of the last backup date in the notes.ini of the target client
CHANGE / ENHANCEMENTIn previous versions, desktop icon actions that created a stub only together with the option "make local icon topmost" or "remove all but local icon", users would get an error message if they clicked on the local icon before it had been replicated sufficiently (not necessarily completely)
- the now changed behaviour of MC/CA is now that it will only [put the local icon on top / remove all links but local] once the replica will not generate an error message for end users anymore.
In effect this means that users will have to restart their client twice, where upon first startup the stub will be created along with replicator page settings, and upon second startup - provided that the replica has replicated "enough", if not completely - the local icon action part will actually be applied.
ENHANCEMENTAdded %LOOKUP_MAILFILE_AUTODETECT% as placeholder to location management (for details see configuration database above)
ENHANCEMENTAdded <os:platform> to config.xml/references (=Windows, Linux, or Mac)
ENHANCEMENTAdded toolbar management (not yet toolbar ENTRY/BUTTON management)
ENHANCEMENTAdded new toolbar.xml for export into working directory (temp subdirectory) - (no, toolbars will not roam)
ENHANCEMENTAdded support for optional filtering of locations affected by location management actions with a Notes selection @Formula (see Config database release notes above for further details).
ENHANCEMENTAdded support for enforcing the local path of a replica via desktop icon actions (requires config database update - see config db release notes for details)
ENHANCEMENTAdded support for the new numeric rules to e.g. check whether <notes:version_major> is greater or equal to 8 - and similar numeric rules; requires config db update.
