| IMPORTANT NOTES | This release contains select important updates highlighted in red |
Configuration Database | |
| FIX | Fixed an issue with license display for actions that are part of multiple license modules; it will not be displayed as expired anymore as long as one license is not expired. (This was purely a display issue) |
| FIX | Fixed a few display issues with remarks in actions. |
| FIX | Fixed a bug in the Location action that lead to time zone settings not being applied correctly (the field "TimeZone" wasn't set properly) |
| FIX | Fixed a bug in the User Preferences action where the setting "Disable type-ahead for all name fields and use Notes Basic type-ahead " was applied incorrectly. |
| CHANGE | Added warnings or disabled features in the Config database that are not supported when used by an administrator using a Notes Client using an OS other than Windows. (this is about features of the Config database itself, not features of MarvelClient). |
| CHANGE /ENHANCEMENT | The registry action now supports setting/removing the (Default) string key. |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | Zip: The explanatory text in the encryption strength selection dialog can now be customized. |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | GroupExplorer integration: MarvelClient now can sync with a GE database on another server. Specify server!!path in the GE sync configuration to do so. |

| ENHANCEMENT / NEW | Profile Document action now has new options to read entries from profiles and make them available as action return values. They can be accessed via <myalias:field_myfield> (assuming the action has an alias "myalias" and the field is called "myfield"). |
| NEW | New action: Eclipse Sidebar. It allows to manage the open/closed state of the sidebar and the plugins/widgets on the sidebar. |
| NEW | New module: Eclipse Analyze. Configure the Eclipse Analyze action to collect the information. |

MarvelClient Help | |
| UPDATE | Updated release notes |
MarvelClient Upgrade | |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.2) | - No Changes - |
Eclipse Plugin | |
| NEW (3.0.0) | New module: Eclipse Analyze. Collects information about the Eclipse part of the Notes Client. The information is collected by a new action and stored in a number of xml files. As the size of those files can get quite large, the action allows to filter out information that is not needed. See the Eclipse Analyze action in the Config database for more information. |
.DLL Updates (Windows) / .dylib Updates (Mac OS X 64-bit) | |
| FIX (5.0.22) | Fixed and issue in the zip encryption dialog where the customized explanation text would change back to the default. |
| FIX (5.0.23) | Fixed an issue where on premise mail file detection didn't consider info from current location. |
| FIX (5.5.0) | Fixed an issue in the databases.xml where sometimes template information was missing. |
| FIX (5.5.0) | Fixed an issue where <ini:MC_zapnotes_window_title> didn't work. |
| CHANGE (5.5.0) | Updated the text in the about dialog of the MarvelClient Realtime tray icon. |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT(5.5.0) | Logging for Location/Connection action has been improved. |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT(5.5.0) | Logging for Backup/Roaming actions has been improved. |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT(5.5.0) | Logging regarding user/location/mail file information has been improved. |
| ENHANCEMENT (5.0.22) | The Cloud Onboarding success mail subject can now be customized. |
| NEW (5.5.0) | Full support for NFL (Notes Federated Login) Customers that use NFL are advised to set notes.ini MC_SyncAfterLogin=1. MarvelClient will then process its actions at a time that is guaranteed not to interfere with the IBM Notes startup sequence. This has implications for the MC Eclipse Plugin update action which can no longer be processed because at this point the Eclipse process (notes2.exe) will already be running. In that case the latest MC Eclipse Plugin (available as a resource in the Dll) will be installed when Notes starts. Update actions in the Config-Db will be ignored. Set notes.ini MC_SyncAfterLogin_DisablePluginInstall=1 to prevent MarvelClient from automatically installing the plugin. |
| NEW (5.5.0) | MarvelClient is now fully supported on 64-bit Clients on OS X. This includes most of the feature set of the current version of MarvelClient for Windows, and will remain this way going forward. Currently unsupported actions/features: - Skinning - MarvelZip: Zip/Unzip, Attachment Blocking, Mail Blocking - Progressbar at shutdown - Filesystem timeouts - Realtime Restrict and Relocate actions - Registry Management action & registry config namespace - RunProgram action Actions/features that are limited in their functionality: - IPAdapter condition and config variables: only a limited selection of fields is available - notes.ini & Variables action: - "other.ini"-setting not supported - config variables: several config variables are not available; most importantly: os:connectivity_internet, all variables related to citrix and virtual machine information, and the <mounts> section Please note that the .dylib file for 64-bit is different from the old 32-bit MC for OS X and is available separately. Please make sure to contact support to make sure you get the correct libraries for your platform. |
