Other enhancements

The following are general enhancements for Notes 12.0.2.

  • Prerequisite for Windows 10 and higher: For fresh installs on Windows 10 and higher, the correct digital certificate (DER/CRT file) must be downloaded on the machine.

    For instructions on manually updating the certificate, see this Support article.

  • Embedded Sametime is updated to version 12.0.0.
  • Advanced Properties improvements.
    • Two new columns for Summary and Signed fields:

      Users can sort on both fields and view at a glace.

    • Ability to copy new menu items - users can now select Row Names, Row Values, Row Info from each field.

    To open Advanced Properties, select File > Advanced Properties.
  • Support for 64-bit Notes Standard Client.
  • Nine languages (apart from English) are supported with this release. Full language kits as well as MUI kits are also available for these languages:

    Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish.

  • All NSF databases in the data folder are automatically upgraded to the latest default ODS version.
    • This improves the client's performance and is compatible with older versions on the server. This behavior can be turned off through setting NSF_AlwaysUpdateODS=0.
  • Microsoft Edge replaces Internet Explorer as the default browser for the Notes Basic Client. The default browser is used for rendering external emails and HTTP links. If Microsoft Edge is not installed, Notes reverts to using Internet Explorer.

    This requires a Microsoft package called WebView Runtime.

    For more information, see Choose Microsoft Edge as Basic client internet browser option in the Domino documentation.
