These are the detailed release notes for MC Upgrade.
Releases in reverse chronological order:
Release 2023-11-10 - 12.0.48
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX / CHANGE | Fixed an issue where EXTMGR_ADDINS entries with leading and trailing tabs or spaces were not parsed out properly |
| FIX / CHANGE | Fixed an issue where MCUpgrade.ini entries were translated, even if they were empty. This lead to, for example, InstallFinishedText to be set and effective in another language, even though it was empty=disabled in MCUpgrade.ini |
Release 2023-10-12 - 12.0.47
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the old Notes program directory was not cleaned up, because it was checking for notes.exe after uninstall (which is pointless) |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where Symlink cleanup was not always done to the fullest extent, leading to Notes installers sometimes working off of older folders like IBM or Lotus, even if empty or symlinked to non-existent folders |
| ENHANCEMENT | Component updating in case of "expired"/lapsed file signatures can now be disabled by setting ini:WinVerifyTrustDefaultFlags=0 |
Release 2023-10-06 - 12.0.46
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where ConfigFile was roamed during notes.ini restore |
| CHANGE | DeferralPromptCount and DeferralPromptLast are now only updated when deferring an upgrade |
| NEW | MarvelClient Upgrade now attempts to automatically fix access permissions for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Notes and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Notes; In case the registry entry exists but the upgrading user has no read or write access to it, the upgrading user, Administrators and SYSTEM will be granted full access to the corresponding key |
Release 2023-09-01 - 12.0.45
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where Program Files* and ProgramData were cleaned up if *DirectoryNew was empty/not set |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where client folder detection did not always check for HKLM(32)\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes values, but only HKLM64\* |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where client folder detection did not detect the shared data directory if there was no data directory yet |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where client folder detection did not set the data directory if it did not exist, which lead to at least /coptim failing |
| ENHANCEMENT | The Service executable and DLL components are now also updated if their certificate is no longer within the "valid from-to" window NOTE: The current "valid from-to" window ends on March 15, 2024. Without a then newer MCUpgrade executable, the service exeutable and DLL components will be updated during every run. |

MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where not all Lotus|IBM|HCL\Lotus|Notes registry keys were cleaned up |

| FIX | Fixed an issue where EXTMGR_ADDINS, NSF_HOOKS, and AddinMenus were not cleaned up if source and target value were the same |
| ENHANCEMENT | Further improved EXTMGR_ADDINS cleanup: If no MarvelClient DLL is left after cleanup, but a user has a single entry pointing to a MarvelClient DLL, EXTMGR_ADDINS is set to root notes.ini value |
Release 2023-07-01 - 12.0.42
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where DLL files were copied after the new EXTMGR_ADDINS cleanup introduced in 12.0.41, leading to unfortunate cleanup. DLL files are now copied over before any other files. |

| FIX | WTS/Citrix detection is now fixed and significantly enhanced to detect Windows Terminal Server and Citrix Server through OS properties, as well as Client Protocol / Session details |

Release 2022-06-14 - 12.0.24
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the progress bar splash was not loaded from where MCUpgrade was launched, but from the folder from where the launch was initiated (e.g., you open a cmd in C:\Users\Public and launch "\\uncpath\MCUpgrade.exe /pbar": previously, the splash was loaded from C:\Users\Public, now it is loaded from the execution folder) |

| FIX | Fixed an issue where StdOut and StdErr was never read with RunAsUser |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where Initiator would unzip all files twice from MCUpgrade.zip, instead of MCUpgrade.ini only first and then the rest |

|---|---|
| NEW | Added a new option ini:MultiUserSymlinkCleanup; defaults to 1 if one or more uninstall instructions present in MCUpgrade.ini; otherwise not set. This fix is important for all customers upgrading to HCL Notes 12.0.1, due to an issue with how the HCL installer treats pre-existing redirects/symlinks |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where cleanup of directories was skipped, due to erroneous detection of same folders as redirects, e.g. Skipping removal of [C:\ProgramData\Lotus\Notes\Data]; [C:\ProgramData] is a redirect to [C:\ProgramData] ... |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the old notes shared data was not cleaned up, if it pointed to a symlink folder; After reading ini:MultiUserSharedDataOld, redirects (symlinks and junction points) are now resolved immediately |
