IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes
z Updates made to the pre-7.5 buddy list appear in realtime in a running 7.5.x client, and vice versa.
z After the initial additive merge, deleting a person or group from pre-7.5 deletes the person or group
from the 7.5.x list and vice-versa.
Limitations
z In case users happen to assign group names that are seperated by two semi-colons, the 7.5.x client
will not import them as nested groups unless the parent group implied by the naming happen to exist.
In this manner a user can even create nested groups for 7.5.x using the pre-7.5 client. For example,
using a pre-7.5 client, creating the groups "test" and "test::subgroup" will result in a new group "test"
and a new subroup of test called "subgroup" in 7.5.x.Changes between the two lists cannot flow
wholesale from one to the other, since the formats are different. Specifically, the 7.5.x list contains
users from multiple communities, as well as hierarchical groups which do not translate into the pre-7.5
list.
z Users and public groups not from the default community are not stored to the pre-7.5 buddy list. For
example, in the 7.5.x screenshot below, the group "LWP AB" and the person "Konrad Lag" are not
from the default community and therefore are not exported as part of the pre-7.5 buddy list.
