MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where MCUpgrade.ini instructions were not reliably read, if at the same time the progressbar updated ini:UpgradeProgress - Upgrade Progress is now stored in MCUpgrade.progress, together with the last package name and start time |
| FIX | Fixed a non-issue where at the end of an upgrade MCUpgrade would log "Could not find [] on Windows Desktop" - it now no longer searches for an icon without a name ;-) |
| ENHANCEMENT | MCUpgrade now also searches for updates to .prov2install and provisioning.log files in workspace\logs in %localappdata%\Vendor\Notes\Data, NotesDataDirectoryNew and ConsoleSessionUserLocalAppData\Vendor\Notes\Data |

MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| NEW | Added new functionality, that checks for open file handles before any and after all failed InstallExec* instructions in NotesProgramDirectoryNew, NotesDataDirectoryNew and MultiUserSharedDataNew |
| NEW | Added a new ini option CheckFileHandles - set to 0 to disable the above newly added file handle check |
| FIX | Fixed an issue switching of the working directory for upgrade launched from a UNC path did not work in all cases |
| FIX | Fixed another SID lookup issue in console session detection |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where an error was logged during backup of root notes.ini, even if no roaming was necessary thereafter; Now, root notes.ini is only backed up, if roaming of notes.ini is actually carried out |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where copying the Notes data directory from a network drive failed for single user installations (as the data directory is then under program files) The data directory is now copied from the network directory to ini:UpgradeDirectory\MoveToNewData and after elevation from there to ini:NotesDataDirectoryNew, including filepath adjustments for entries therein, if applicable |
| FIX / ENHANCEMENT | Fixed an issue where after a successful upgrade via the panagendaInstallerService, we moved files from the safe directory to the upgrade directory to then delete them - the process now deletes the files directly in the safe directory NOTE that in case of an upgrade error, the files are still moved back |
Release 2021-02-04 - 11.0.68

| FIX | Fixed an issue where, when running via the MCUpgrade service, zip files with CopyTo* folders were unzipped into the service upgrade folder, but not processed from there |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where after data directory migration to %localappdata%\... where the console session SID was wrong in rare cases |
| FIX | Fixed an issue with the new rcplauncher.log creation/update detection which either didn't work or could display an array error upon an (un)install running into an error |
| FIX / ENHANCEMENT | MCUpgrade is now HiDPI aware - labels that might have been too large or small in the past are now rendered properly |
| ENHANCEMENT | The splash screen can now also be dragged when clicking and holding a progress bar, any labels, as well as the optional animated GIF |
| ENHANCEMENT | In case an installer returns an error (<>0), any changed or new jvmpatcher.log files from NotesProgramDirectoryNew are added to the result email |
| ENHANCEMENT | MCUpgrade now also checks for another installation in progress prior to every (Un)Install and waits up to 120 seconds for it to finish |
| ENHANCEMENT | If an (Un)Install returns error 1618 (other installation in progress), the (un)install is re-attempted up to three times |
| CHANGE | When running via the MCUpgrade service, %MCUPGRADEDIRECTORY%\CopyToProgram*\*.exe files are not copied over |

|
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where OK, Yes, No and Cancel buttons were not translated - they are now automatically translated via ini:MCUpgrade_lang.ini, fallback to OS language translation |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where MultiUserSharedDataNew was never cleaned up if it matched MultiUserSharedDataOld, and no data directory migration took place |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where beautified messageboxes would not display all text |
Release 2021-02-04 - 11.0.65
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| NEW | If NotesProgramNew\npnotes(64).dll exists before any InstallExec AND is registered as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order\ProviderOrder, it is being renamed to npnotes(64).dll.MCU### If the file is not created during the respective installation, it is being renamed back after the respective installation |
| NEW | rcplauncher.log files are checked before and after each InstallExec* instruction for whether they have been newly created or modified In case an installer returns an error (<>0), any changed or new rcplauncher.log files are added to the result email The following folders are checked for new/updated rcplauncher.log files: %localappdata%\Vendor\Notes\Data NotesDataDirectoryNew ConsoleSessionUserLocalAppData\Vendor\Notes\Data |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where notes.ini would be deleted in new data or program directory across multiple runs after being properly roamed in a previous run; Now, notes.ini is only deleted in new notes program or data directory, if a notes.ini file was secured for roaming from either a previous run, or multi or single user data directory migration |
| FIX | Fixed an issue with display scaling of the beautified messageboxes introduced in 11.0.57 |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the desktop shortcut preview did not work properly with multiple monitors |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the beautified success messagebox potentially closed itself/did not display since 11.0.57 |

Release 2021-02-04 - 11.0.64
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where running MCUpgrade via SYSTEM outside of %ProgramFiles(x86)%\panagenda\MCUpgrade still required MCUpgrade.dll in that directory - The DLL can now also be in the directory from where MCUpgradeMain is launched, provided it has a valid EV certificate NOTE: MCUpgrade.dll in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\panagenda\MCUpgrade is used if the DLL is also present in UpgradeDirectory |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where launching e.g., the progress bar in the console session did not show the Splash screen, but only text and progress bar |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where running MCUpgrade from a UNC path, the log could result in a SUCCESS with ERRORS state, logging "cmd.exe was started with the above path as the current directory, unc paths are not supported" |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where MCUpgrade.exe sent progress emails with -1 instead of proper percentage |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where Progress emails did not contain the correct elapsed runtime since start, but only "0" |
| CHANGE | Shortcut Creation is now suppressed when running as SYSTEM without console session, and MCUpgrade was not elevated via the panagendaInstallerService |
| CHANGE | User Pinned shortcuts, the user's desktop shortcuts, and the user's start menu will not be processed when running upgrade via SYSTEM without console session |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | The panagendaInstallerService will no longer be installed, if the .NET framework is missing or neither 3.5 or 4.x; If the .NET framework exists after processing all InstallExec* instructions, it will be re-attempted right thereafter |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | The MCUpgrade progress bar will from now on be displayed bottom right centered, instead of the middle of the screen |
| NEW / ENHANCEMENT | MCUpgrade via SYSTEM without console session is now supported |
| NEW / ENHANCEMENT | If OS environment variables cannot be resolved (usually only when running as SYSTEM without console session), the following ones are filled based on best effort: LOCALAPPDATA, ProgramFiles(X86), ProgramData (and ProgramFiles on 32 bit OS) |
| NEW / ENHANCEMENT | ENHANCEMENT: When running MCUpgrade via SYSTEM without console session, LOCALAPPDATA will be resolved as follows: First, we check for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\LastLoggedOnUser Next, we check all entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList - if a profile exists with ProfileLoadTimeHigh set AND it matches LastLoggedOnUser, we use the respective ProfileImagePath - if LastLoggedOnUser was not set or found, we use ProfileImagePath from the yougest (last modified) profile under ProfileList - if the result is empty, we fallback to the default windows value (usually being C:\Users\Default\Appdata\Local) |

| FIX | Fixed an issue where Citrix Optimization reset the log file instead of adding to an existing one |

| CHANGE | The default desktop shortcut name "MC Upgrade ReRun" is now automatically replaced with "Run Notes Client Upgrade" or "Rerun Notes Client Upgrade", depending on context |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | SetEnvValue can now be left empty, resulting in deletion of the corresponding SetEnvName value |
| ENHANCEMENT | When setting OS environment variables via SetEnv*, EnvUpdate is called at the end, which creates a similar effect as logoff/logon - changes to, for example, %path% should become effective immediately |

| ENHANCEMENT | The Deferral prompt now always shows the ReRun Icon as configured in the upgrade config wizard |

| FIX | Fixed an issue where /ignoredeferralfilesmustexist was not appended to re-run shortcut in 11.0.4x and 5x releases, leading to users being asked again whethere they want to defer an upgrade |
| FIX | MCUpgrade now sends fewer tracking emails (4 at max, at 2, 25, 50 and 75 percent progress); previously it would send 6 or more |
| FIX / CHANGE | Moved deletion of the re-run shortcut to after deferral (if applicable) / before Upgrade Init |
| CHANGE | Changed the error message when launching MCUpgradeMain fails or returns an error from "ERROR: Could not launch program as current user with Admin rights ..." to "ERROR: Launching program as current user with Admin rights returned ..." |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | Rather than just returning Error 1, MCUpgradeMain now returns the last error code from a failing (un)install, if applicable |
| NEW / ENHANCEMENT | MCUpgrade now also accepts (typos) /smpttest and /smptinfo command line parameters in addition to /smtptest and smtpinfo ;-) |
| ENHANCEMENT | MCShutdown will now exit immediately and re-run itself if run from Notes client, so as to detach itself from Notes |
