Release Notes

Sametime

Invited Servers - 7.0 to 7.5.x whiteboard pointer discrepancies

With a Sametime 7.5.x and Sametime 7.0 invited environment, there can be discrepancies in the whiteboard tool's pointer icons. In Sametime 7.5.x, the pointer tool was replaced by a new "stamp" tool. The previous whiteboard pointer tool allowed for selection from a variety of images; with Sametime 7.5.x, only one stamp image is available.

When a 7.0 user places various pointer images on the whiteboard, they will appear on the 7.5.x whiteboard correctly, with the exception of the image of the "pointing finger"; this will appear as the stamp image instead (a gold star).

Linux - Crash when using the IBM JVM 1.4.2 with Firefox

With certain configurations on Linux, using the IBM JVM 1.4.2 and the Firefox browser, the Meeting Room Client can crash.

The Firefox help indicates that it is built with gcc3.2, and that any Java plug-in to be used with Firefox must also be built with gcc3.2. The standard libjavaplugin_oji.so that is linked to the Firefox plug-ins directory is not built with gcc3.2 in IBM's distribution; you must link the libjavaplugin_ojigcc3.so instead.

From the Firefox plug-ins directory, execute the following command:

ln -s /opt/IBMJava2-142/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_ojigcc3.so libjavaplugin_oji.so

With this change, the Meeting Room Client loads successfully, and the browser will not crash.

Some .SDD files cannot be converted and attached to a meeting

In the current release of Sametime, certain .SDD files are unable to be converted and added to a meeting. This issue has been reproduced with StarOffice Impress and OpenOffice Impress .SDD files; this is a thrid-party software problem related to the Stellent filters in the Conversion Service.

When this issue occurs, the user will not see any error messages - the only symptom is that the file will not show up on the Whiteboard. Error messages are, however, printed in the logs.

Sametime Gateway issues

Sametime Gateway

Invalid blacklisted wildcards on Properties page

In the Integrated Solutions Console, the blacklist domains field on the Sametime Gateway properties page does not properly handle invalid wildcard domain strings. Wildcard domains must start with '*.' and must not contain two or more asterisks together. For example, "*domain.com" and "*.domain**.com" are not allowed, but "*.domain.com" is allowed.

If you type an invalid domain name, you receive an unexpected application error message. The invalid
