Taking Notes Episode 34: 10.04.06 - Lotus Notes and Domino 7.0.2 10.4.2006
Today, Bruce and Julian talk mainly about the new 7.0.2 release of Lotus Notes/Domino. It officially came out on Friday, September 29, and it includes such features as:
  • New "Blue" templates for blogging and RSS feed generation (note that the templates are available on the server upgrade, not the client)
  • Support for installing and running the Lotus Notes client on a USB drive (Nomad) -- Chris Whisonant has some install instructions (but be aware that there can be huge speed differences between different USB drives, so choose wisely)
  • Native iCal import capabilities
  • "Run As Admin" for Smart Upgrade
  • Automatic conversion (on the server) for TNEF/Winmail.dat attachments from Exchange users
  • Domino Web Access (iNotes) is supported on Firefox on the Mac
  • New C-API functions for HTML and MIME
  • Server support for Novell SUSE Linux 10 and Windows x64 server
  • Lotus Notes Access for SAP included
  • DXL improvements
We also got a chance to talk to Steve Castledine about his "IBM Blog" template, to get the inside scoop. We talk about things like:
  • What was involved in transitioning from "Steve's template" to "IBM's template"? (see this technote for more details)
  • What's the upgrade path for users of the old template?
  • How is comment spam dealt with?
  • How do we get started using it?
  • What's next?
