During 2019 I described in some articles what should appear in V11. Now that the final release has been published I can summarize all the major news. To what extent it differs from previous announcements you can judge for yourself.
NOTES V11 CLIENT
New modern look:
- Inbox action bar
(There are fewer icons above the inbox on the action bar. Further options can be viewed when you select and hover over an email) - Side navigator menu
(Less-used items such as Junk and Trash are collapsed by default. Click Show More to display these options and Show Less to hide them again) - Client status notifications
(Click the bell icon on the bottom action bar to view the client status messages) - Missed alarms
(Click the bell icon on the bottom action bar to view Missed Alarms, which are notifications for calendar events missed while the client was not running) - New calendar form
(Calendar events in a simplified form) - New contact form
(new contacts in a simplified form) - New HCL Notes 11 theme
(HCL Notes has a new theme for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Notebook)
Feature enhancements:
- Language spell check
(You can now spell check any language that your HCL Notes client supports within an email or document) - Export to PDF
(You can now export emails and documents to PDF from the HCL Notes client.Windows machines require a PDF printer to support PDF exports) - 24+ hour meeting support
(Meetings that are longer than 24 hours are now supported by the HCL Notes Calendar. This feature requires a Notes 11 version mail template) - Three click support
(Three click support adds a level of security when a user opens an attachment within an email) - Network resiliency improvements
(When there is no network connection (when the cable is unplugged or the wireless is unavailable), the Notes client responds with an error message) - Synched release schedule
(Starting with release V11, Sametime and Notes follow the same release schedule) - TLS 1.2 support for SAML
(Notes and Embedded Sametime now support TLS 1.2 with Notes Federated login (SAML) - Mac 64-bit uninstaller
(The uninstaller provided for Notes 11 on Mac is now 64-bit. This change is made because Apple will no longer support a 32-bit uninstaller as of its upcoming Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina) release) - Moving folders prompt
(Users are now prompted to confirm when a mail folder is moved)
