After the release of Notes and Domino 8.5 Fixpack 1, there has been some concern expressed over customers and partners not being able to see the fixes at the devWorks fixlist site. If you go there currently, you can see the following releases listed:



Notice that there are not any SPR's listed as fixed for 8.0.2 FP1, 8.0.2 FP2, 8.0.2 IFR1, 8.5 FP1, or 8.5 IFR1. But there is a way to see what you need for your upgrade planning. You need to navigate to a somewhat hidden "notices" view at this URL: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/r5fixlist.nsf/Notices?OpenView (and also via the Notes Client here). From here you can see this listing:



Clicking through, you can get the SPR's fixed in 8.5 FP1 here. Actually, this information was relayed to us via a devWorks article that was updated in January. This release notice document for 8.5 FP1 is very helpful to me. I tend to prefer this better than navigating through an old view design and having multiple click-throughs to get to what I need to see. This release notice details all of the SPR's fixed in FP1 and many of them have links to a technote detailing the issue. All in one place! I do hope that the fixes are loaded into the main view so that searching for fixes is a little more managable, but I really like this method.
