Lotus Notes 8.5.1 - My favorite 8.5(.1) things so far
Hats off to the entire team working on designing, building, testing and marketing Notes 8.5.1. I upgraded when it went GA, having been a bit too busy to try out in beta period. Like so many of the other reviews I've read, I've come away very impressed.
Having used it for a week or so now, here my favorite 8.5(.1) enhancements in this release:
1. Hyperlink button: Now that my blogging has picked up again, I use this a lot. HUGE improvement over the old multi-click method. Huge.
2. Longer dropdown list for file names and file size
3. Toolbar icons for permanent pen, highlighter, and text color
4. Accept/Decline toolbar in preview pane
5. Drag and drop to calendar (saving time over the copy into/new calendar entry)
6. File Navigator plugin (I know this isn't tied to 8.5.1, but I just came across it, and it's a HUGE time saver for me.)
7. I know it's a little thing, but I like that Notes now hides bullets on blank lines instead of leaving me with a list interspersed with bullets on otherwise blank lines
8. Continued improvements in performance
8.5(.1). Autoreplace spellcheck (now I truly never need to worry about spelling "sentance" correctly again. It'll earn the other half point when I can customize the autoreplace list).
