IMPORTANT NOTESThis release contains select important updates highlighted in red

Configuration Database

FIXFixed a problem where the servername was not displayed in the bottom right of the database frame
FIXFixed a problem where in location management, proxy settings were displaying "advanced control fields" (0/1, ~, always) even though the parent location action was set to "simple control".
FIX / CHANGEFixed a problem where fullmatch ECL Management of type Remove and Change were interpreting */panagenda as "everything ending with panagenda" instead of "an ECL entry '*/panagenda'" (the '*' is now properly escaped).
CHANGE / ENHANCEMENTThe notes.ini & Variables management action has been renamed to *.ini & Variables action and enhanced to also allow management of non-notes.ini ini-files (for e.g. Upgrades)
ENHANCEMENTAdded two new example documents in the category "IBM Roaming users" that make use of the newly added <notes:roamingdata_replicaid> and <notes:localfeedcontent_replicaid> in 2.5.11

Analyze Database

FIXFixed a problem where the servername was not displayed in the bottom right of the database frame
FIXFixed a problem where creating Rollback actions from the Analyze Database did not work - such actions could wrongly compute to compare the target notes:user variable with the abbreviated user name - this has been changed to properly compare with the canonical username in all cases
CHANGEChanged the notes_ini.xsl to also filter out any *_LastMail* notes.ini entries

.DLL Updates (Windows)

FIX (2.5.7)Fixed a problem where the client could crash during client startup if Norton/Symantec nlnvp.dll was registered as NSF_HOOK in notes.ini
FIX (2.5.8)Added logic to names handling so that an icon action always makes sure all local locations and the config value userdetails_mailfile_local match the location of the mailfile's local replica according to a location management actions %LOOKUP_* results
FIX (2.5.11)When positioning replicator page entries that were previously stored inside replicator page folders, the repositioned replicator page entries did not display - this is now fixed.
FIX (2.5.12)When using %ENV_...% as part of MC_NetworkDirectory, MarvelClient skipped essential parts of its synchronisation if the respective OS environment variable did not exist - this has been fixed.
FIX (2.5.13)Managing ECL default entries (-Default- and -No Signature-) didn't work properly in non english clients; this has been fixed.
ENHANCEMENT (2.5.7)Added debug helper notes.ini MC_MB_ProcessQuit, MC_MB_Shutdown_Before and MC_MB_Shutdown_After. Set to 1 to display a message box
ENHANCEMENT (2.5.8)Added a new optional notes.ini parameter: Set
MC_NoSyncOnEmbeddedLaunch=1
in notes.ini to disable sync if notes was launched with either '/embedded' or '/automation' parameter (which is usually appended if launched via SendTo --> Lotus Notes from e.g. Windows Explorer)
ENHANCEMENT (2.5.8)If the local mailfile replica is moved during synchronisation, MarvelClient will now also change the desktop icon along accordingly
ENHANCEMENT (2.5.9)If the local mailfile replica is moved during synchronisation, MarvelClient will now also change the any matching location documents in the personal addressbook accordingly, as well as <notes:userdetails_mailfile_local>
ENHANCEMENT (2.5.11)Enhanced logging of folders and folder-levels in names.xml in <mc:temp_directory>
ENHANCEMENT (2.5.11)Added various new config references <notes:roamingdata*> and <notes:localfeedcontent*> - see config.xml for details after DLL update.
