FIX / ENHANCEMENTInternal limit for RecentApps entries is now 24 (used when creating or roaming recent apps entries), up from the previous limit of 12
FIXFix for Nomad Roaming users who incorrectly use a legacy MC_UploadDB variable of the format server!!db.nsf in combination with default roaming settings, which can cause roaming to fail
FIX

Fixed a problem where the ($Design)\MRU folder in bookmark.nsf can be deleted when Nomad Roaming is active

Nomad Web 1.0.9 - MC 12.0.69

ENHANCEMENTNew "background" replica option for Application/Mailfile action, allows you to create a local replica in the background after the Notes client has started. Previously you had to make sure the Replicator was set to replicate at startup, this new option does not require that.
FIX

Fix for print settings not roaming on Nomad Web (other platforms were not affected)

FIX

Web Migration now parses $Recent_App entries of the format Notes:///0123456789ABCDEF## properly

Nomad Web 1.0.8 - MC 12.0.64

Nomad Web 1.0.7 - MC 12.0.62

ENHANCEMENTThe MarvelClient log level can now be set at startup with an INI action that runs before the afterlogin event (previously the setting would not be picked up until the next client start)
ENHANCEMENTMake sure the MC_Disable and NOM_MC_Disable notes.ini parameters cannot roam
ENHANCEMENTImproved logging if a MarvelClient license cannot be parsed
ENHANCEMENTImproved the compression algorithm for print objects in desktop.xml

Nomad Web 1.0.6 - MC 12.0.57

ENHANCEMENTWeb Browser type and version is now reported in os_nomad_web_browser_name and os_nomad_web_browser_version fields in the Analyze DB. The browser's user agent string is also reported as os_nomad_web_user_agent if additional parsing is desired.
ENHANCEMENTOperating System name and version are now reported for Nomad Web clients in the Analyze DB. These should always be accurate for Chrome and Edge browsers, and are based on user agent parsing for other browsers.
ENHANCEMENTSome specific notes.ini settings are now hardcoded never to roam with Nomad Roaming, to prevent problems if admins use custom ini filters that would allow these settings to roam.
FIX / ENHANCEMENTFree disk space is now reported for Chrome and Edge, and local replica actions that check for free disk space will now work properly.
FIX / ENHANCEMENTNomad Roaming will now start properly in the background if the Before Roam runtime is disabled or if there is a timeout at startup causing the Before Roam part of the action not to run.
FIXThe NOM_MC_Disable notes.ini setting now disables MarvelClient properly (the first time it runs) when set via Domino Desktop Policies. This was a regression introduced in Nomad Web 1.0.3.

Nomad Web 1.0.5 - MC 12.0.52

NEWMarvelClient now has Roaming functionality available for the Nomad Web platform, for customers with a valid Roaming license.

This allows you to backup and restore your Recent Apps and workspace settings across some or all of your Nomad clients. Please see the Nomad Roaming Overview and related documents in the knowledgebase for more information.

ENHANCEMENTName lookups are no longer performed at startup once the Nomad client has been set up, improving startup times. This behavior can be changed using the notes.ini variable MC_NomadNamelookupAfterLogin.

Nomad Web 1.0.4 - MC 12.0.44

NEWLocal Replicas can now be created and managed using MarvelClient, on Chrome and Edge browsers only. This corresponds to the new local replica support in Nomad Web 1.0.4.
NEWMarvelClient now has Restrict functionality available for the Nomad Web platform, for customers with a valid Realtime license.

This allows you to prevent Nomad Web users from accessing, replicating, or deleting specific databases either locally or on a server. The most common use-case is if you have databases on your server that you don't want Nomad Web users to open (maybe because they use Java or clientside XPages), you can easily prevent them from being used by Nomad Web users with a simple MarvelClient action.

NEW

Select MarvelClient actions can now run in the background after the client has started.

FIXFixed a problem where the Web Migration action stopped working on Chrome/Edge browsers version 102.xx and higher, due to a breaking change in those browsers.

Nomad Web 1.0.3 - MC 12.0.35
