Interim Fix 6 for FP10 introduces a range of issues with Notes client version information.

If you are using MarvelClient, we advise against using IF6 for the time being.




Issues

Major Version Wrong

Notes reports itself as having a major version of 900, instead of 9.

QMR Wrong

Notes reports itself as having a QMR of 11, instead of 1.

QMU Wrong

Notes reports itself as having a QMU of 0, instead of 10.


Basically, the client reports its version as "900.0.11 FP0" instead of "9.0.1 FP10". Please note that the release string itself is correct, but other version information provided on an API level (which is used by software such as MarvelClient) is affected.






Effects on MarvelClient

Since MarvelClient uses this information in many places, and the major version controls the behavior of several key features, the detection of the unknown major version 900 leads to MC disabling most of its functionality. This is done as a precaution, as to not inadvertently damage any data.

Furthermore, any conditions that check for certain client versions might no longer work as intended; causing the wrong actions to run or not run.




Next Steps

We have already released a new version (10.0.7) which solves the major version issue by hardcoding version 900 to be taken as version 9 (it is unlikely that Notes will ever reach version 900). A further release to fix other issues with version information is also in the works, but we are still collecting data and customer feedback on other issues encountered.

Until then we advise against using IF6, if you are also using MarvelClient.
