We thank you for all of the helpful/constructive feedback you gave the Notes/Domino team throughout the 8.5 Design Partner program, and I haven’t forgotten that I still owe you a status summary of the many SPRs raised by this great group of customers and business partners.

Important note. For Quickr users, see this posting on the required version of Quickr to use with Notes 8.5 GOLD

Subject: Important for Quickr users and 8.5

You will need a specific Quickr version to work with Notes 8.5 gold. It’s available on Fix Central, and here’s how to find it:

It is currently under the 8.1.0 FixPacks:

8.1-Quickr-Domino-Connector-HF10.zip (14.58 MB)

from Quickr 

http://www-933.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/fixcentral/swg/identifyFixes/2/Lotus%20Quickr/8.1.0/All

While this is listed as a Quickr Domino specific fix, all users regardless of their server type (Quickr Domino vs. Quickr J2EE) can get the latest connectors there. These connectors were shipped with Quickr 8.1.1 which was a J2EE release, but they will work with the most recent Quickr Domino release as well (Quickr 8.1). The connectors are fully backward compatible and were tested with Notes 8.5, and fix some problems that were discovered with the Connectors during test.
