MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where we collected jvmlauncher.log instead of jvmpatcher.log |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the Expand All link at the top of summary emails never worked |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the progress bar would not show the splash image, but only labels and progress bars when running as SYSTEM |

| FIX | Fixed an issue introduced in 11.0.78 where for single user / admin&|designer clients, Directory was wrongly set to NotesProgramDirectoryNew (where notes.ini is) instead of NotesDataDirectoryNew |
| FIX / CHANGE | Fixed an issue where %localappdata% was resolved as C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile when running MCUpgrade via System without console session |
| FIX / CHANGE | The Expand All and Collapse All links at the beginning of summary email will now only be displayed in browsers and MIME renderers which support JavaScript 1.6 or newer That also means, that they will no longer be visible in Notes clients, since neither of the MIME renderers support JS 1.6 or newer |
| FIX / CHANGE | When running as system without console session, %localappdata% will now be resolved as localappdata of default user (usually C:\Users\Default\Appdata\Local) |
| FIX / CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | Multiuser Directory migration will now occur for all folders under user root (usually C:\Users\) that match the old notes data suffix (i.e. \Vendor\Notes\Data) |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | Citrix Optimization will ignore the following settings when launched without MultiUserSharedDataNew: for jvm.properties: - any line where the value contains %MCU_MultiUserSharedDataNew_Coptim% - vmarg.Xnolinenumbers=-Xnolinenumbers - vmarg.Dshare=%MCU_Unmerge%,singleJVM for rcplauncher.properties: - config.system.1=%MCU_RemoveIf%-data - config.system.2=%MCU_RemoveIf%${rcp.home}/rcp/systemdata |
| ENHANCEMENT | The Citrix Optimization option Disable DEP now also works for any upgrade for which at least NotesProgramDirectoryNew is specified |
| ENHANCEMENT | The Citrix Optimization option Compact Templates now also works for any upgrade where NotesDataDirectoryNew is specified, but MultiUserSharedDataNew is not (then compacting templates in NotesDataDirectoryNew) |

| ENHANCEMENT | Added progress display in second progress bar for Multiuser migration and cleanup |
Release 2021-04-20 - 11.0.78
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue with 11.0.1 FP3 where the Notes client would require five start attempts after upgrade due to missing Directory= entries in notes.ini A missing Directory entry in notes.ini has always been a non-issue, since the Notes client corrected it by itself upon next startup. The Directory entry will now be migrated across, with its value being changed to the respective target directory. Set NotesDataDirectoryOldExcludeDirectoryForce=1 to revert back to the old behaviour |
| ENHANCEMENT | Added progress display per file in second progress bar when using /zip (used by MCUpgrade Config Wizard during publishing) |

MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where daily deferral would run the upgrade on the same day instead of waiting for next day |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the previous user profile directory erroneously contained the domain name. This lead to a migration of only the previous user's data directory, but no other data directories in case of a multi to multiuser data directory change. This issue was introduced in 11.0.68. |

| 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 |
Release 2021-03-04 - 11.0.70

| 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 2021-02-24 - 11.0.68
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| NEW | Added a commandline option for MCShutdown.exe to optionally specify different executable(s) to shutdown, e.g. MCShutdown /switch process.exe |

| 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 |

Release 2021-02-09 - 11.0.65
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 |

Release 2021-02-04 - 11.0.64
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) |
Release 2021-01-25 - 11.0.63
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| NEW | Added new ini settings InstallFinishedIcon and InstallFinishedIconText |
| NEW | Upon a successful install and when specifying InstallFinishedIcon (e.g. "HCL Notes" without quotes), a desktop preview is displayed for the newly created/updated shortcut |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the desktop icon preview dialog did not honor display scaling |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | The InstallFinished dialog is now beautified upon a successful upgrade and when not using a timeout |

Release 2021-01-15 - 11.0.60
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|

MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|

Release 2021-01-12 - 11.0.58
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the shortcut preview added in 11.0.57 did not work, only showing a smaller "an upgrade is ready" message box |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where Citrix Optimization reset the log file instead of adding to an existing one |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where copying the public key file in conjunction with InstallService=1 did not create missing directories |
| 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 |
Release 2021-01-05 - 11.0.57
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where DeferralAdmins were checked before opening .mcu file |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the shutdown notice windows could "vanish" when switching to a different window using ALT+TAB, or after switching to the windows desktop |

| NEW | When creating a (re)run shortcut on the windows desktop, a dialogbox shows a preview of the newly created icon |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | When a user defers an upgrade a shortcut is placed on desktop to run the upgrade on demand; this can be influenced by setting ini:DeferralNumberOfUpdatePromptsMaxShortcut=-1 |

| 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 ..." |

| 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 |
