LAN/WAN
Fixed to allow Notes servers to connect to each other and Notes workstations to connect to servers via SPX (configured to use Bindery Services) under slow network conditions without having previously attached to a NetWare fileserver.

Fixed to allow the use of Bindery services configuration for SPX when setting up an additional NetWare server.
Fixed problems with disconnecting users running SPX when the NetWare server is being shut down.
Fixed to display correct error messages and port status with NWLINK IPX/SPX installed on Windows NT when there are no requester or SAP services installed.
Corrected the behavior of port encryption between a WW40 International French client and a non-WW40 server.

Prevented the Administration Process from updating unaffected Group documents during a user name change.
Fixed to allow type-ahead addressing to work if the addressee begins with a "/" character.

Prevented the error Insufficient Memory: NSF Folder Pool is full from occurring.
Fixed to correctly display all the tasks running in Server Task when the "Show Stats Server" command is issued.
Fixed the Router so that it will retry transferring mail after getting Server not responding from a server in a different network. This problem is different from the one addressed in Release 4.11 although the symptoms are the same.
Increased the number of possible mail clients on OS/2 servers by optimizing memory handle allocation.
Prevented the message Last replication completion time: Unknown from appearing in the server log. It resulted from incomplete replication information being stored at the time of an abnormal server termination.
Fixed to allow the use of the backspace key on the OS/2 server console on Japanese systems.
Prevented the error Memory allocation request exceeded 65,000 bytes from occurring during various database operations due to the presence of many fields in the database.
Fixed the Administration Process to mark database ACLs as modified during the name change process unless a modification is actually made.

Corrected a problem with documents containing Reader name fields updated by LotusScript agents not replicating to allowed readers.
Fixed a memory leak on the server which caused the error message, Insufficient memory. Index pool is full. Increase the value of the NIF_POOL_SIZE to be reported to workstations. Servers had to be rebooted to allow normal operation.

Client/Workstation
Prevented Macintosh termination resulting from clipboard processing in editable fields in layout regions.
Fixed infrequent termination on the Macintosh under low-memory conditions when switching to the Replicator Page.
Fixed Macintosh terminations during shutdown resulting from using LotusScript® when OLE Extensions are enabled.

Fixed a problem in which the error Field is too large (15K) or View's column & selection formulas are too large prevented the copying of valid design elements to the clipboard.
Prevented workstation termination caused by using any of the Navigate functions with a form that has a PostOpen event using a formula.
Fixed to correctly display hotspot borders on the Macintosh when the hotspot overlays a previously displayed hotspot.
Corrected display problems in the Advanced panel of the Database Replication Settings panel on OS/2, in which the wrong selective replication formula was being displayed for a pair of servers.
Fixed to allow user name change through the Administration Process on the server when the name includes an organizational unit. Previously you received Error Updating local ID file: A required Certifier Entry was not found in the Name and Address Book during authentication and the ID file was not updated with the new name.

Prevented the loss of data when editing certain OLE objects created in future releases.
Fixed to allow the correct behavior of validation formulas on documents with controlled access sections to which the user does not have access.
Fixed to allow the mailing of memos to very large groups instead of failing with the error message Recipient name not unique, too many found in name & address book, buffer exceeded 64k byte limit.
Fixed to allow @DbLookup to work even if the view name has changed in the lookup database and in the @DbLookup formula. Without this fix, the user would receive the error message Invalid or nonexistent document due to the attempt to use database data previously saved in the desktop.
Prevented Macintosh termination when interrupting a lookup during type-ahead mail addressing.
Prevented the loss of data entered in fields which follow a controlled access section to which the user does not have access.
Prevented client from hanging when trying to navigate to the next unread document in a view when the next unread document is restricted by a Reader names field if there are response documents which are unrestricted. If the user uses Ctrl - Break to end the session, the session remains open on the server until rebooted.
Fixed a memory leak on the Macintosh which occurred when using forms containing bitmaps.
Fixed a problem on the Macintosh in which heap corruption could occur when running multiple background-only applications such as the Notes Updater and Notes Replicator. This problem has also been corrected by Apple in System 7.5.5.

Templates
Prevented mail template graphics from being sent through mail gateways resulting in the graphics being sent as attachments to mail messages.
Fixed the spelling of the roles in the Document Access field in the Personal Address Book to allow proper access.
Fixed the Connection Record schedule fields' input translation formulas so that they are available for X.400 connections to allow the X.400 MTA to work properly.
Eliminated duplicate views in EVENTS4.NTF.
Web Navigator
Fixed the Web Navigator template to contain the correct URL for the "Go to template resource site" action.
Fixed to correctly launch the Web Navigator User's Guide, WEBUSER.NSF, from the Web Navigator.
Fixed problems with loading HTML forms with listboxes in which the default values contained the double quote (") character or contained more HTML code.
Allowed import of JPEG files on Windows 16-bit platforms.
Fixed server termination caused during the conversion of HTML forms to Notes documents when the forms had listboxes with no default selection.
UNIX Only
API
Fixed a problem where the NSFItemInfo function occasionally returned the item's data type in canonical rather than host format. The flag symbol OPEN_CANONICAL is now exposed. This flag symbol is used to determine if a note was opened in canonical format. This flag needs to be bitwise anded (&) with the OpenFlags argument passed to DBHOOKVEC Note Open hook functions. If this bit is set then the API program needs to use ODSReadMemory to convert all note data (e.g. item datatype words, item values) to Host format.
Client
Fixed a segmentation fault error which resulted from improper handling of a corrupted fontcache.
Fixed an installation error that occurred when updating a Notes R4.1a client to Notes R4.11a on AIX® 4.1.4.
Fixed a postscript printer problem where the last page of a job was printed in mirror image.
Fixed the Viewers for file types Ami Pro®, MS Excel, Metafiles.
Fixed so that copying text from an xterm or dtterm window and pasting it into a Notes document works correctly, regardless of whether the Notes clipboard has previously been used. The message clipboard data is unavailable no longer appears.
Resolved a problem that occurred only on X-Terminals where using small (8/10 point) Helvetica font on bullet items caused all Helvetica text in Notes to become small.
Resolved a problem reading the fontcache that caused a memory overwrite. This problem resulted in Notes terminating abruptly at startup and generating insufficient memory errors.
Server
Fixed the problem on AIX 4.1.4 where the SAP daemon fails when running the server in background mode.
Fixed database corruption occuring when replication was initiated during the database indexing process.
Fixed a problem converting R3 mail databases to R4.1x.
Fixed a server error with the Updall Process where the SPARC server was "waiting for semaphore." The server was unable to respond at this point and the system needed to be restarted.
Fixed the problem of "defunct processes" occuring after the "drop all" command is issued from the server console.
Fixed to allow a Solaris Intel Edition server to connect to specified port (a number < 1024), thereby enabling Intel Edition/MTA functionality.
Fixed a problem where the incorrect version of the Localtime() call was being used by a multi-threaded application. The required multi-threaded version of Localtime "localtime_r()" is now being used.
