These are the customization updates for Lotus iNotes in 8.5.3.

Ability to update menu items

Previously, customizers could add or remove menu and submenu items from the action bar. Now, customizers can also update existing menu and submenu items. For more information, see the comments about addActionsLite in the Custom_JS_Lite subform.

Policy to set Extension Forms File

There is a new policy setting to allow an administrator to set the name of the Extension Forms File. Previously, the file had to be named Forms85_x.nsf. With the new policy setting, administrators can now have different Extension Forms files for different users. The policy is in the Mail settings, on the Basics tab, under Lotus iNotes.

Custom_SessionInfo

A new subform named Custom_SessionInfo has been added. This subform allows a customizer to add items to the iNotes session info object.

iNotes_WA_RunQOAgentsForNewLiteForm

A new INI setting, iNotes_WA_RunQOAgentsForNewLiteForm, has been added. Setting this to "1" will cause an agent set by $$QueryOpenAgent to run every time user opens mail edit form. Previously, the agent would only run the first time the mail edit form was opened.
