HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

It definitely makes sense, and I'm glad to hear that there's a potential 8.5.0FP1 in the works -- it sounds like there are a few significant issues with 8.5 that would be of great impact to customers.

One of the main reasons I ask is that the very decision of IBM/Lotus committing to a Fix Pack opens up an extremely useful avenue for customer testing: the Fix List database.

For example, 8.0.2FP1 addresses several regression bugs in 8.0.2, 8.0.1, and 8.0. During the development of 8.0.2FP1 those SPRs were gradually added to the Fix List database, and so those of us testing 8.0.2 (or an earlier version) could try to specifically test against those SPRs to determine if we may need the FP or a hotfix.
