Lotus Notes/Domino 8.5 Fix Pack 1 Release Notice
July 29, 2009

IBM Lotus announces Notes/Domino 8.5 Fix Pack 1. IBM strongly recommends upgrading to the latest Fix Pack, since Fix Packs address a small percentage of defects that impact the broadest set of customers. This is a scheduled Fix Pack of a limited number of low-risk/high-impact fixes to help customers safely avoid known problems. Fix Packs are released periodically between Maintenance Releases to provide a greater level of stability for customer environments. Fix Packs go through the same level of fix, regression and interoperability testing that occurs with our Maintenance Releases. 8.5 Fix Pack 1 (as with all Fix Packs) is language independent and may be applied on any language version of Notes/Domino 8.5. If you have Notes 8.5 Basic installed, use the Notes 8.5 Fix Pack 1 Basic install. If you have Notes 8.5 Standard Notes Client or Notes 8.5 Standard Notes/Admin/Designer Client, use the Notes 8.5 Fix Pack 1 standard install. There is no 8.5 Fix Pack 2 planned, but future Fix Packs are always cumulative and contain all of the fixes from previous fix packs. 

Note that this Fix Pack addresses defects in the Client and Server. Customers unable to upgrade to later Releases will want to install Fix Packs to benefit from later fixes made to the product. By providing a small number of fixes, customers are able to accept fewer code changes with lower risk, allowing them to "patch" an older Maintenance Release until a more extensive upgrade to the current Release is possible. Fix Packs may be downloaded from the web, but will not be distributed on CD.

While Fix Packs provide important fixes and IBM strongly recommends applying the latest Fix pack available for a Maintenance Release, IBM still recommends that customers upgrade to the latest Maintenance Release + Fix Pack combination to receive the broadest set of fixes available. You will receive more overall fixes with a later Maintenance Release + Fix Pack than with a set of Fix Packs on top of an earlier Maintenance Release.

For more information about the differences between Maintenance Releases, Fix Packs and Cumulative Client Hotfixes, refer to Technote #1368141. For download options for Notes/Domino 8.5 Fix Pack 1, refer to Technote #4023874.

The following is a list of the problems fixed in this 8.5 Fix Pack.

Notes:
  1. There are 23 fixes below with a plus symbol (+) before the SPR number. This symbol indicates fixes for regression bugs. A regression bug is a bug that was introduced in a Maintenance Release that did not exist in previous releases of that code stream. For example, a bug that appears in R8.0.1 but did not exist in R8.0 is a regression.
  2. Technote numbers are displayed in parentheses following the fix description.
  3. This Fix Pack contains all the fixes that were included in 8.0.2 Fix Pack 1 Cumulative Client Hotfix 2 (which was inclusive of 8.0.2 CCH1, 8.0.2 CCH2, 8.0.2 CCH3, and 8.0.2FP1 CCH1,)
