I finally found the place on the IBM Passport Advantage site where I could download the gold code for Notes 7.0.2 on the Mac … the real thing, not the beta version I’ve been running for a while. Here are some early thoughts:
- Faster. So. Much. Faster! — I figured that the beta code wasn’t totally compiled like a gold app would be, but I can’t believe how much faster the real thing is!
- More stable. — I didn’t really feel like the beta version was unstable, but some of the Java-ness about it felt like it wasn’t all there (particularly whenever you did anything related to instant messaging). This version is much quicker and feels more stable.
- Enter works. — So far the “enter” key works more like you’d expect on dialog boxes. This was one of my biggest gripes with the beta version and it really seems to be cleaned up nicely.
- The install is much more aware of … itself. — When I first installed the beta, I blog’d about some odd behavior during the install which left me without my database icons. This one is much more aware of previous installs and adjusts itself accordingly (see image below – click for a larger version).
