Upgrade Pack 1 Has Arrived

Home » Upgrade Pack 1 Has Arrived

In a busy week for IBM, Notes/Domino Upgrade Pack 1 has shipped today, as announced by Ed Brill. The upgrade pack is important for a number of reasons:

  1. For customers requiring officially IBM-supported code (an argument I struggle to understand in application development, but that’s beyond the scope of this blog), this provides a supported release of the Extension Library
  2. It ushers in a new way of delivering additional functionality outside the point release cycle
  3. It provides updated XPages templates providing mobile UIs for TeamRoom and Discussion Database, which provide useful examples for developers looking to build mobile interfaces using the Extension Library
  4. It provides JSON-based REST services, of use from XPages or other technologies.

The Upgrade Pack gives additional reason for customers to upgrade to 8.5.3, which is fast becoming a significant release.
