Configuration Database

FIXIMPORTANT fix for location actions: Newly created location actions were missing the "<managed>yes</managed>" flag, leading to possible deletion of such locations in conjunction with "delete all but managed" location actions. To fix this problem, please check/resave location actions created since August 2012.
FIXIMPORTANT fix for Access Definitions: Due to a bug in various Notes releases, associating multiple Access Definitions to an action resulting in more than 32 KB of reader names would fail silently(!) and lead to NO reader field AT ALL - thereby deploying the action to ALL users.
This problem has been fixed, now rendering an error message when trying to save such an action that exceeds the limit of readers (for restrict and exclude), as well as when increasing the readers in an access definition and thereby overcrowding associated actions.
ENHANCEMENTAdded an option to string conditions to specify a full match (default for new String Conditions), Wildcard or Regular Expression matches (Regular Expression being the default for any already existing conditions).
ENHANCEMENTAdded an option to location management to also manage the Sametime Login name for IBM Notes Basic clients.
