1. Connect 2016 Comes to a Close!

Connect 2016 just ended. This year the event not only had a new location but every attendee (and exhibitor) I talked to thought it was a great success. If you didn't go or just want to review what happened I have posted links below for you to watch some of the sessions, download the presentations, or just read some of the feedback. Some of the highlights for Notes and Domino are support for Outlook clients, IBM Verse on premises, and the ability to move view indexes out of the NSF to allow databases to hold more data beyond the 64GB limit. For developers look for Java 8 support, the ability to encrypt documents, Bluemix support, and the inclusion of Bootstrap and the other extension library capabilities into the core Domino product. There were lots of other news for Connections as well as a Project Toscano. Watch the Opening General Session for more details and demos, as well as some great customer stories.

2. Issue with Chrome and XPages

Version 48 of Google Chrome may have an issue with Dojo that prevent XPages from working properly (depending on the point release). Users may experience page freezes and controls like pagers may stop working. Chrome just came out with a fix in Version 48 in version 48.0.2564.103 m.

For more information see the NotesIn9 blog entry:

3. New Extension Library Release

Release 16 of the Extension Library was released last week on OpenNTF. This release adds more support for Bluemix, updates Bootstrap to version 3.36, adds a new function to get XSP properties, and fixes several issues. Be sure to read the warnings in the readme file about the new version of Bootstrap since this has a small chance of affecting your application if you hard-coded to any of the Bootstrap resources. This release also includes support the for alpha version of Bootstrap 4.

To learn more about Bootstrap for XPages attend our webinar on February 16th (see below).
