Where can I find Lotus Notes build numbers?

Is there a list / table / resource with all known Lotus Notes build numbers?

I need to report in an application what version of Lotus Notes is installed and showing that it’s build number 194 is not very friendly.

Thx

@Version help in Domino designer contains a table showing the builds and their version.

Sorry, I am not sure how to get to this, my only notes experience goes through the C++ API…

There’s an FAQ: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=build+number&uid=swg21088431&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&cc=us&lang=en and http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=swg21103234 and a tool, nwhatver.exe, but I wonder whether they built a hardcoded table in nwhatver…

Thx

Here is how to get the NotesVersion in LotusScript: Dim sess As New NotesSession

Dim sVer As String



Msgbox sess.NotesBuildVersion & " (" & sess.NotesVersion & ")",64,"Notes Build Version:"

' Translate into Version:

Select Case sess.NotesBuildVersion

Case 114

	sVer = "3.x"

Case 136

	sVer = "4.0x"

Case 138

	sVer = "4.1x"

Case 145

	sVer = "4.5.x"

Case 147

	sVer = "4.6.x"

Case 166

	sVer = "5.x"

Case 190

	sVer = "6.0, 6.01"

Case 191

	sVer = "6.0.2"

Case 194

	sVer = "6.0.3, 6.5"

Case Else

	sVer = "Unknown Version"

End Select

Msgbox "Version: " & sVer,64,"Version (Translated)"

You could actually do a more dynamic solution (thus avoiding hardcoding the version-table) by extracting the version from the NotesSession.NotesVersion returnvalue, but I’m not sure if all versions are typed in the same way… I sure hope so.

Or if You prefer using @Formulas, then use:

VER_NO := “114”:“136”:“138”:“145”:“147”:“166”:“190”:“191”:“194”;

VER_STRING := “3.x”:“4.0x”:“4.1x”:“4.5.x”:“4.6.x”:“5.x”:“6.0, 6.01”:“6.0.2”:“6.0.3, 6.5”;

CURR_VER := @Version;

MEM_NO := @Member(CURR_VER;VER_NO);

@If(MEM_NO <> 0;@Prompt([OK];“Version:”;VER_STRING[MEM_NO]);@Prompt([OK];“Version:”;“Unknown Version!”))
