New features added with 9.0.1 Feature Pack 8 and beyond
Updated 3/31/2020 for 11.0.1
A few weeks ago it dawned on me that there doesn't seem to be a useful (at least that I know of) list of the features added to Domino over the last few releases. Then Lisa asked me for this list for a STS customer. While this is not definitive, it is a least a starting point to see what new features were added when, and maybe more importantly, what was added. This is a tad difficult to collate due to IBM's seriously disastrous decision to go the "feature pack" way for a while.
It should also be noted that as of 10 and higher IBM/HCL have reverted back to fix packs being fix packs. So no new features should be getting added outside of a release revision (for example no new features in 10.0 FP1, but there are new features in 10.0.1).
So here goes:
9.0.1 (IBM)
FP8
FP9
FP10
10.0 (IBM)
10.0.1 (IBM)
11.0 (HCL)
11.0.1 (HCL)
12.0 (HCL)
