The XPages Extension Library project on OpenNTF was updated yesterday to version 853-20111215. This version matches the newly released Domino 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 1.
If you want to use the OpenNTF version (and not Upgrade Pack 1) you can update your servers and clients using the update site method.
You can find the installation instructions for the OpenNTF version and for Upgrade Pack 1 on the Lotus Notes and Domino Application Development wiki.
Great news for XPages today: Notes/Domino 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 1 has just been released.
In short, Upgrade Pack 1 is an IBM supported version of the XPages Extension Library. This should help remove the fear of the Extension Library being open source that some customers have had, and thereby improve the adoption of XPages out there.
Upgrade Pack 1 is available on Passport Advantage as part number CI5HUEN.
Last week we held the 46th DanNotes conference. We had 80 participants and 7 speakers. Some of the presentations are available now as links on the agenda. Others will be added to the agenda later. We will also publish videos from the event once they have been edited.
On the agenda you can find links to the presentations by Chris Connor on XPages, Java, and Mobile – and links to the presentations by Ulrich Krause on compact, compress, DAOS and more. The presentation by Ulrich is also available on Slideshare.
The following presentations held by Stuart McIntyre and Niklas Heidloff have not yet been added to the agenda:
Niklas has blogged about the event – his blog entry contains links to the projects and controls that he showed in his sessions.
Stuart has blogged about his impression of the event. He even calls DanNotes for “the daddy of all user groups“.
I look forward to the 47th conference which takes place in May, 2012. Let me know if you are interested in speaking at the event.
