Major Improvements: Added various new references (config details), 8.5.1 compatibility, Corrected mailbased install result, Failsave DLL update for future Notes releases, PKCS12 Export feature for ID files, Various fixes


Configuration Database

FIXFixed a problem where exclude actions did not work if the title of the action contained any of the characters <, >, &, ", or '
FIXFixed a problem where Mailbased installs were reported successful even if the DLL could not be extracted/detached/saved - such install reports are now properly reported as failed
CHANGEThe navigation page has been changed slightly by moving Integration options to the bottom
CHANGEPreviously, if the DLL could not be detached during mailbased install because an existing DLL could not be overwritten, install was reported successful -
now such install reports are titled "Partly successful".
CHANGEChanged the behaviour of the priority field for all actions: previously, each action type had its own base priority and range.
Priorities could only be entered within the respective range, optionally being larger than max but not lower than min (base). Entered priorities were added to invisible base priorities.
The new behaviour is to accept any number between 0 and 4,199,999,999 with the recommended priority range displayed. If the specified priority is outside of the recommend range, a warning is displayed (every time) when saving the document.
ENHANCEMENTThe following options have been added to Mailbased Install:
+ only run install on a specific platform (Windows, Linux, or Macintosh)
+ prevent install attempt on Citrix
+ run install for mailfile owner only
ENHANCEMENTThe enduser name and Notes release have been added to Mailbased install reports

Analyze Database

FIXFixed a problem with improper rendering of the file overview table in upload documents with revision depth > 1
FIXUpdated the Export ID File action in analyze database, requires role [Security] therein - then available from view Users\by State & Upl.Key;
for further information regarding decrypting collected ID files, see Administration\ID-File Export Config in Analyze database)

.DLL Updates (Windows)

NEW<alias:replica_path> now allows for referencing the path of the local replica (if applicable) for a desktop icon action
NEWAdded various new variables to config.xml, e.g. memory details, mouse, monitor, and others.
NEWAdded notes.ini option MC_AllowSyncDuringSetup_FixPrompt=1 - if so set, initial client setup will not prompt for a password twice
NEWOptional update of actions.xml at client shutdown by setting mc:viewreader_shutdown_enabled (boolean; accepts true,false,yes,no,1,0)
FIXIf Notes was upgraded to 8.5.1 prior to switching to at least 1.8.12, automatic in-place DLL update could not update the DLL as elder DLL versions do not support 8.5.1
The DLL architecture has now been changed to also run DLL updates even if the Notes release is not yet supported.
FIXFixed a problem in Notes 8.5, where changing desktop and/or bookmark links did not seem to work (whilst MC did work, Notes did not want to pick up the changes properly) - this update has Notes 8 refresh its configuration properly now.
FIXCustomers running IBM Lotus Notes 8.5 on Windows Vista had reported issues with nfileret and MarvelClient - this issue is now fixed.
FIXFixed a problem with checking for free diskspace when creating a new local replica from desktop icon action
FIXFixed a problem where automatic creation of local personal addressbook ("names.nsf") failed if missing
FIXFixed the problem that enforcing the path for a local replica did not check whether the new path was sane (e.g. available, enough space, ...) -
the local path will now only be enforced if the new path is available and has enough disk space.
FIXFixed a problem where purging of softdeleted location documents during client startup would crash Notes
FIXFixed a focus problem that prevented drag&drop from Notes to Windows for encrypted archives
FIXMarvelZip previously ignored encryption strength setting in File-Attach dialog - now, Standard encryption leads to AES 128bit and Strong to AES 256bit encryption
CHANGEDue to this fix (previous line), the default encryption has been changed to low in order to ensure Windows compatibility
CHANGElog.xml now logs time elapsed as readable numbers rather than scientific
FIX/CHANGEAutomatic creation of names and bookmark databases now also copies documents from templates along
ENHANCEMENTDLL now supports IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.1
ENHANCEMENTThe PKCS12 export option in the new Tasks\JID. ID-File action now works/is now supported.
(= PKCS12 Export of Certificates from inside ID files and saving them to an AES encrypted file / backing them up to a Domino database;
includes new decryption action in Analyze database, requires role [Security] therein - then available from view Users\by State & Upl.Key;
for further information regarding decrypting collected ID files, see Administration\ID-File Export Config in Analyze database)
ENHANCEMENTReferences to non-existing config values now create more meaningful log output
