IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 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
