Notes and Domino Release 5.0.1b Final Fix List (10/04/99)

This list documents the fixes present in R5.0.1b.

Note:

API

SPR# JPAI4AVLW7 - Prevent NIFFindByKey from returning all entries in a view when doing a partial match on a blank key. The number of matches is now limited. This behavior was causing performance problems on servers which were being used by pre-R5 clients who used right-click in an empty mail address field to get access to the Domino Directory. [5.0.1b]


Calendar & Scheduling

SPR# MALZ48QKBR - Fix a problem with C&S polling being disabled on servers with NT Client Single Logon enabled as a service. Previously, meetings could not be scheduled because users' freetime would not be available. [5.0.1b]


Client - Macintosh only

SPR# PMOL4AVJXA - Fix a problem with an incomplete list of choices showing in the File->Export dialog when using MacOS 8.5.1 or 8.6 with Navigation Services. [5.0.1b]


SPR# PMOL4B5JUF - Correctly display choices in the Select Sound dialog for new mail notification on the Macintosh. [5.0.1b]


Client

SPR# HNIO4AHBAJ - During setup for an internet mail user, correctly create a Connection document for their ISP. [5.0.1b]


SPR# JOS4AQ25T - Correctly set the Location type as Network Dialup in the Location record for an internet mail user. [5.0.1b]


Install

SPR# MCLK4BCRYP - Provide a new switch for silent install which controls whether the user's system will reboot or not without asking the question. The syntax is: setup.exe [no]reboot -s -f1[path]setup.iss. Please note that the reboot/noreboot switch must be first. [5.0.1b]


Mail Migration - Microsoft Exchange

SPR# PESA4A8RSP - Fix a problem with the subject field being blank in repeating calendar entries that were migrated from Exchange. [5.0.1b]


Server

SPR# JPAI4AVKBZ - Fix a server crash with "PANIC: OSAddressInVARRAY: VARRAY element index is too large" which occurs when compacting databases to upgrade them to the R5 format. This fix completes the fix for JPAI4ANKJY in R5.0.1a. [5.0.1b]

SPR# JPAI4AWNBA - Fix a problem which caused mail messages to be undelivered reporting the error, "Cannot convert MIME to Notes Rich Text format." Now, the conversion will continue, even after certain errors. [5.0.1b]


+SPR# JPAI4BQKCF - Fix a problem introduced in R5.0.1a which caused the modified time of the Domino Directory to be updated too often, causing performance problems on the server because the job scheduler and other tasks refresh their data unnecessarily. [5.0.1b]


SPR# RHON45HJR8 - Enhance server performance by reducing contention for a particular semaphore. [5.0.1b]


SPR# SCRL46Q2KM - Fix a problem which prevented administrators from registering users on a pre-R5 server where the Domino Directory had been upgraded to the R5 design. Before this fix, the error, "The name cannot be registered. More than one entry was found in the Address Book," would be reported. [5.0.1b]

SPR# SHUR4BQN4H - Fix a problem with index corruption in the Directory Catalog, which reported "NIF: DETECTED STORAGE CORRUPTION ERROR 'Index corrupted - will be rebuilt automatically when database is closed or server is restarted'" continuously. Before this fix, there was no solution but to delete the database. [5.0.1b]


SMTP Server

+SPR# CSPS4ANK3S - Fix a problem introduced in R5.0.1 that caused the From address of outbound SMTP mail to be based on default rules instead of on the Internet address field from the Person document. [5.0.1b]


SPR# MOBN4AUHPC - Fix a problem with the SMTP Server becoming blocked on servers using the Directory Catalog. [5.0.1b]


Template - Mailfile

SPR# TAR4AFJ6U - Fix a problem with the notes.ini variable, NOOPTIMIZELOCALROUTING, not performing as expected. In R5, when using Reply to All, domain information is stripped from addresses in the cc: field for users in the same domain and for users with internet addresses (due to the presence of the native SMTP router). Customers who do not want the domains stripped can use this new notes.ini variable to return to R4.6x behavior. [5.0.1b]


Web Navigator - Macintosh only

SPR# BKYP4AQS3F - Fix a problem with graphics files not displaying on some non-English systems in the Notes browser. [5.0.1b]


Web Server

SPR# DJOS48HNNB, JKEN49ASNA - Fix a problem for browser users when trying to use the Address dialog while creating a mail memo or trying to use the Free Time dialog while creating a calendar entry. Users with an R4.6x combined mail template residing on an R5.x server would not see any active buttons, making the dialogs useless.
The original change to the HTTP server in R5 which created this problem caused hotspots within bracketed passthru HTML to stop working. This change may have affected other applications, so the change has been reverted to provide backwards compatibility. [5.0.1b]
