This was asked at LS11 by a suave, sexy, sophisticated blogger/podcaster....aka me, so I am very happy to see this.
* Machine specific policies. I asked for this somewhere (Ideajam maybe?) a long, long time ago. It is even more useful now with the advent of managed replicas
* Purge Interval Replication Control (PRIC) - we've all seen it....old deleted documents replicated back into a database (like the DomDir) after the deletion stubs have expired. Here is the fix (I was asked for this just yesterday!)
* Re: and Fwd: are now ignored when you sort by subject
* New mail popup. Like Outlook does and the plug-in available on Greenhouse.
* Complete control of color of unread email (I think this is in Notes, not sure about iNotes)
* Multiple signatures. Yes. Multiple signatures.
* Even better control of "Recent Contacts". This is actually starting to get useful
* Sametime embedded is now 8.5.1
* Symphony is now 3.0
* A tool is provided to change a single user install to a multi-user install. I really like this. Could have saves some of my clients months on their roll outs.
* Smart upgrade of Windows Vista and Windows 7
* ID Vault works in Citrix XenApp
XPages and Domino Designer related ones
* Full text sorting
* SCM is now sort of integrated
* HTML 5 attributes added to XPages controls
* XPages preload applications at server startup time (whooooo)
* Code aggregation makes JS and CSS files much faster to load
* Dojo 1.5.0
* Much simpler i18n support
Traveler related
* Traveler only wipe on iShiny devices (partial wipe)
* Widgets for Android devices (calendar and mail)
* Much improved Android instalaltion
* Schedule, reschedule, cancel and modify on calendars on Android
* "tap to dial" for phone numbers in Android calendar entries (my pet peeve is now fixed)
* Group name lookup support
