Developers: New C API Toolkit 11.0.1 now available
8 February 2021
Thomas Hampel
Good news for developers and partners out there who work on plugins and extensions for Domino.
We just published a new version of the C API Toolkit, actually the first new version since more than 7 years.
This is the first HCL shipment of the C API and it signals an ongoing commitment to revamp the C API delopment story,
it now supports building applications using the GUI environment for Visual Studio 2017.
However, as Ulrich Krause already highlighted in his blog it does contain just a very few new API calls yet, also make files were removed because they did not work anymore.
HCL's development team is working on a V12 version of the C API Toolkit that will be providing make files and MSVS project files again. This version 12 will be provided after Domino V12 has shipped.
You can find the current/updated C API Toolkit in the Domino server product category on Flexnet Downloads

Partners : locating the Domino V12 Beta in Flexnet
1 February 2021
Thomas Hampel
Recently we have announced the beta launch of HCL Domino V12 which is available to all current customers.
While for a customer the download is easy to find, partners have to navigate along the entitlement tree to find it.
So for reference here is how an HCL Partner can locate the download packages:
1. Login to Flexnet
2. Click on "List all entitlements"
3. In the top right corner of the list, search by Product contains 'collab' as shown in the screenshot below.
4. Find the product bundle "HCL Bundle Mail & Social Collaboration", make sure the entitlement has not expired and click the "Download Now" button
5. In this bundle, click the package"Notes/Domino 12.0 Beta 1"
6. ...and find the downloads you are looking for, including the Notes Client in 16 local language versions, the Domino installer for AIX, Linux and Windows, as well as the V12 Domino Docker image.
It also needs to be noted that the Domino on Docker community project added support for V12 in the develop branch
Happy testing !

Y2k21 problem in Notes property box - Created date is empty
4 January 2021
Thomas Hampel
2021 started with a little surprise: The property box in your HCL Notes client doesn’t show the Created date for documents created in 2021 any longer.
Here is a screenshot of what is missing:
It affects just the display of the date/time value in the property box in all the Notes clients (Standard & Basic, on MacOS and Windows).
From a technical point of view the date/time values are still there but they are just not displayed in the property box.
The property box refers to the date when the document was created and its empty when the document was created in 2021 or later.
It is still displayed correctly when a field $Created exists in the document, e.g. this is the case for SMTP mails.
So far this was reported to appear with the following versions:
HCL Development is working on getting this minor issue fixed - details are tracked under SPR# NNAIBWX3MD and in HCL Technote KB0086175
Update: This problem is fixed in Notes 11.0.1 FP2 IF1
