For more information, see technote 1368141 - 'Differences between Notes/Domino Maintenance Releases, Fix Packs and Upgrade Packs.'Ī plus symbol (+) before the SPR number indicates a fix for a regression bug.

You will receive more overall fixes with a later Release + Fix Pack than with a set of Fix Packs on top of an earlier Maintenance Release. However, while Fix Packs provide important fixes and IBM strongly recommends applying the latest Fix Pack available for a Maintenance Release, IBM still recommends that customers upgrade to the latest Release + Fix Pack combination to receive the broadest set of fixes available. By providing a small number of fixes, customers are able to accept fewer code changes with lower risk, allowing them to 'patch' an older Maintenance Release until a more extensive upgrade to the current Release is possible.

If you have Notes 8.5.3 Standard Configuration or Notes/Admin/Designer (Standard edition) 8.5.3 installed, use the Notes 8.5.3 Fix Pack 4 Standard install.Ĭustomers unable to upgrade to later Releases should install Fix Packs to benefit from later fixes made to the product.

If you have Notes 8.5.3 Basic Configuration or Notes/Admin/Designer (Basic edition) 8.5.3 installed, use the Notes 8.5.3 Fix Pack 4 Basic install.

Note: Fix Packs will not be distributed on physical media (DVD/CD). For details, see technote 1600910.įor download options see technote 4032242 - 'Download options for Notes/Domino 8.5.3 Fix Packs'. NOTE: The installer for Domino Interim Fixes (hotfixes) built 9 July 2012 or later requires a Perl 5.6.0 or later distribution on Unix & Linux platforms. All Fix Packs are language independent and may be applied on any language version of Notes/Domino 8.5.3. Notes/Domino 8.5.3 Fix Pack 4 addresses defects in both the Client and Server. This is the first fix pack to support Windows 8 (see Technote 1615390) and Windows 2012 for the Domino Server (see Technote 1617697). Fix Packs are always cumulative and contain all of the fixes from previous ones.

They go through the same level of fix, regression and interoperability testing that occurs with Maintenance Releases. Fix Packs are released periodically between Maintenance Releases to provide a greater level of stability for customer environments. IBM strongly recommends that customers running Notes/Domino 8.5.3 upgrade to this latest Fix Pack since it addresses a small percentage of defects that impact the broadest set of customers. Notes/Domino 8.5.3 Fix Pack 4 is a scheduled Fix Pack of low-risk, high-impact fixes to help customers safely avoid known issues.
