| 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 |

Release 2021-04-20 - 11.0.78
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
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 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
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|

| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
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 |

Release 2021-02-04 - 11.0.64
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
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 | 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) |

| 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 |

| 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 |
