The release of Sametime Limited Use V10 is scheduled for June 14th. HCL does a lot of work on upgrading Sametime and certainly many of us can’t wait to start using Sametime Limited.
So what can we look forward to?
- Modern user interface with alternating chat bubbles and the conversation list as the primary view
- Persistent chat including groups with the ability to receive messages immediately and on all clients (desktop, mobile, and browser) concurrently
- Seamless, offline chat with automatic queuing and receiving of messages instantly after logging into any client
- Brand new React-based, lightweight web client
- Domino® 64-bit support (Windows 32-bit will ship first, followed closely by Windows 64-bit, and then Linux 64-bit)
- Server-side chat history (Mongo will initially be required for server-side chat history; Domino to follow at a later time)
- Chat configuration settings allowing the ability to turn persistence on or off, establishing which users or groups of users receive persistence, and specifying for the duration of chat history storage
- Fully compatible with Sametime 9.0.1 FP1
