Improvements in the Release Notes (R5.0.10)
The R5.0.10 contains some changes that reduce their size, and streamline them, making them easier to use.
- Fix Lists removed - Previously, the Release Notes had contained all the R5 Fix Lists, through R5.0.5. After R5.0.5 (in December 2000) we started publishing the Fix Lists on the Lotus Developer Domain (LDD). Since all R5 Fix Lists are available on LDD, they have been removed from these Release Notes, reducing their size. For more information about Fix Lists and their availability, see the Release Notes "R5 Web Fix Lists on Lotus Developer Domain" and "Enhancement reporting - SPR Fix Lists."
- Details of New Features documents moved into History of Changes - The Release Notes for every Maintenance Release contains a "New features and enhancements for R5.0..x" for that release. This is a summary of any new features in that Maintenance Release. Details of those new features are all listed in Release Notes below it in the same section (Chapter 1, "What's new?", "New features"). With the following Maintenance Release, the "New features" document is moved into the "History of Changes" chapter; any supporting documents are moved into same chapter, in a "Details of new features" section. This gives you a chance to see details of all new features in the R5 code stream. See the Release Note "Overview - new features and enhancements" for more details.
- Fixed SPR-related Release Notes deleted - In Release Notes prior to R5.0.10, SPR-related Release Notes containing issues that had been fixed remained in the Release Notes, as a matter of record. (Customers could look track the history of fixes through the code stream, and see when the issues were fixed.) As this information is available on the Fix Lists, we felt that there was no need to carry it forward through all future Release Notes once fixed.
