UPDATEUpdated release notes

MarvelClient Upgrade

SURunAs.au3 (4.0.2.0)Added autocreation of SkipNotesDataDirectoryMigration=1 after successful run of DeltaCopy (initiated through DeltaCopyNotesDataIfOnNWDrive=1)
SURunAs.au3 (4.0.2.0)Fixed parallel surunas detection issue after re-run
SURunAs.au3 (4.0.3.0)Changed Copyright Notice to 2015
MCUpgrade.exe (4.0.1.0)Fixed a problem with copying / moving directories, where a directory structure would be moved into the target directory if the target directory / folder already existed
MCUpgrade.exe (4.0.3.0)Changed Copyright Notice to 2015 and synched version number with SuRunAs
MCShutdown.exe (4.0.3.0)Changed Copyright Notice to 2015 and synched version number with SuRunAs
MCDeltaCopy (4.0.3.0)Changed Copyright Notice to 2015 and synched version number with SuRunAs

Eclipse Plugin

FIX (2.0.6)Added a fix which will repair a damaged platform.xml caused by installing Notes 9.0.1 IF1 (this is an IBM issue, not a MarvelClient one).
FIX (2.0.7)Added a fix which makes sure Sametime auto-login does not lead to a crash because it is attempted before client startup is complete. MC will now honor the delay specified by com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.login/loginEarlyStartupDelaySeconds
FIX (2.0.7)Plugin Install/Update actions which are set to install a specific version of a plugin or feature will no longer erroneously install the newest version found in the update site.
FIX (2.0.8)Fixed a problem caused by installing Notes 9.0.1 FP2 IF2 where Eclipse-only, non-widget features might not re-install properly.
ENHANCEMENT (2.0.6)Plugin Install/Update actions will now check for installed plugin version before trying to download from an update site to prevent unnecessary downloads.
ENHANCEMENT (2.0.7)Logging of currently installed Sametime version has been improved in cases where a Notes hotfix leaves old plugin versions installed but deactivated.
ENHANCEMENT (2.0.7)SetPreferences action will now log more about what preferences it changes, deletes or does not change.
ENHANCEMENT (2.0.8)Multi-feature Plugin Install action will now make sure to only prompt for restart after the last feature of the current action is installed
NEW (2.0.5)MarvelClient will now attempt to write all Eclipse preferences to disk at shutdown in order to ensure more consistent roaming behavior.

.DLL Updates (Windows)

FIX (4.0.15)Fixed a problem with Tagging, where Mass Management actions wouldn't do anything if they only matched tags (and not server, path or replica ID)
FIX (4.0.17)Fixed a problem where MarvelClient didn't properly roam the "Slide in a summary" option for new mail notification.
FIX (4.0.17)Fixed a problem where <mc:msg_suppress> did no longer work when Mail Blocking was also active
FIX (4.0.19)Fixed a problem where after MarvelClient unsuccessfully initiated an ID-Vault download users were not able to log in manually afterwards
FIX (4.0.21)Fixed a problem where MarvelZip would attach files after users were informed that they were blocked by Attachment Blocking conditions
FIX (4.0.21)Fixed a problem with detecting the workspace directory (<notes:eclipse_data_directory>) for installations that were upgraded from IBM Notes 8.x to 9.0.x
FIX (4.0.21)Fixed a problem in Zip, Attachment Blocking and Mail Blocking, where the logic connecting "all of" and "at least one of" conditions was inverted (AND and OR were switched)
FIX (4.0.23)No longer will roam column sorting and view selection positions for local databases. Roaming this could cause problems as those settings are specific to a database replica, and will not work for other replicas of the same database.
FIX (4.0.23)Fixed a problem where print settings and column sorting could sometimes disappear when using MarvelClient Roaming
FIX (4.0.24)Fixed notes browser plugin detection for Notes 9.0.1 FP1/FP2. For those versions, MarvelClient falsely detected a browser plugin to be installed. This caused the config variables <notes:browser_plugin_*> to be wrong.
FIX (4.0.24)When creating a fulltext index via Desktop Icon action some settings were set incorrectly. This has been fixed, all settings will now work as expected.
ENHANCEMENT (4.0.15)Made local replica scanner logging less verbose
ENHANCEMENT (4.0.15)Improved logging for GroupExplorer Automate actions
ENHANCEMENT (4.0.18)Made sure that we properly create the bookmark.nsf in Notes 9.0.1. Older versions of MC would create it in a way that triggers a design refresh on first start.
ENHANCEMENT (4.0.18)Improved ID-Vault support for IBM Notes >= 9.
notes.ini entries Setup and KeyFileName are no longer required in the initial/stub notes.ini if MC ID-Vault support is enabled (MC_SupportIDVault=1)
ENHANCEMENT (4.0.21)MarvelClient now uses a new way to find the location of the Eclipse data directory. This should help in situations where a Notes 8.x installation has been upgraded to Notes 9 and the data directory is/isn't using old default location (/Lotus/Notes vs /IBM/Notes). The old approach can be restored by setting <mc:eclipse_disable_osgetrcpdatadir> = 1
ENHANCEMENT (4.0.22)Added password quality settings to keyfile XML export.
ENHANCEMENT (4.0.23)The progress bar window during shutdown is now more responsive to end user interaction (e.g. moving the window).
ENHANCEMENT (4.0.23)File flags (read-only and hidden) which prevent us from properly accessing actions.xml will now get reset when needed.
ENHANCEMENT (4.0.24)The progress bar window during shutdown is no longer resizable.

.dylib Updates (Mac OS X)

FIX (2.0.46)Conditions were not available in all possible run sections, they have been added to AfterLoginBeforeSync and AfterLoginBeforeActiondownload
FIX (2.0.46)Fixed a problem with backup action and reader fields;
In case of a cluster failover, the reader field for a backup document created/updated into a Domino database contained the cluster server name twice instead of the names of primary and secondary cluster server
FIX (2.0.46)Fixed a bug introduced in 2.0.45 which caused alarms to no longer work on Notes Standard (Eclipse) clients.
FIX (2.0.47)Fixed a bug introduced in 2.0.46 which caused some clients to crash
ENHANCEMENT (2.0.46)<os:version_string> will now properly show version for OSX 10.10 (Yosemite)
