The document summarizes new features and fixes in Domino version 9.0.1, including expanded support for mobile events, themes, and devices. It notes that 9.0.1 contains fewer fixes than previous versions, and discusses IBM's focus on extensibility through OpenNTF for future versions beyond 9.0.1.

1. Modern Domino

4. Mobile Themes (pre 9.0.1)
• Peter Presnell has previously
blogged about adding an iOS 7
theme for mobile applications
and the technique necessary to
include the CSS in the correct
order on the XPage.
• Note: 9.0.1 Does not support
iOS7 theming out of the box.

• deviceBean.android

6. Device Bean (pre-9.0.1)
• Note: The device bean can be
implemented fairly easily
without waiting for an
upgrade to 9.0.1.
• Keith
Strickland
has
previously posted a blog
article how this can be
achieved using SSJS and CSJS.
• To develop as a bean the
code needs to be converted
to the equivalent Java.
learn. do. dream.
SSJS
var isMobile = {
Android: function() {
return context.getUserAgent().getUserAgent().match(/Android/i);
},
BlackBerry: function() {
return context.getUserAgent().getUserAgent().match(/BlackBerry/i);
},
iOS: function() {
return context.getUserAgent().getUserAgent().match(/iPhone|iPad|iPod/i);
},
Opera: function() {
return context.getUserAgent().getUserAgent().match(/Opera Mini/i);
},
Windows: function() {
return context.getUserAgent().getUserAgent().match(/IEMobile/i);
},
any: function() {
return (isMobile.Android() || isMobile.BlackBerry() || isMobile.iOS() || isMobile.Opera() || isMobile.Windows());
}
};
CSJS
var isMobile = {
Android: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i);
},
BlackBerry: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/BlackBerry/i);
},
iOS: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone|iPad|iPod/i);
},
Opera: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/Opera Mini/i);
},
Windows: function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/IEMobile/i);
},
any: function() {
return (isMobile.Android() || isMobile.BlackBerry() || isMobile.iOS() || isMobile.Opera() || isMobile.Windows());
}
};

7. Partial Refresh File Uploads
• File uploads no longer require a full
refresh of the page to initiate a file
upload.
• This makes it easier to implement
mobile applications that integrate
with the camera application for
uploading of photos.

8. Other Features
• Upgrade from Dojo 1.8.1 to 1.8.3
(current Dojo version is 1.9.1)
• Upgrading XULRunner browser (XPiNC)
from 3.6.2 to 10.0.6 (Firefox 10.0.6).
Note: Current release of Firefox is 25.
• Upgrading CK Editor from 3.6.6.1 to
3.6.6.2.
• A new (experimental) feature to run
XPages builds from a command line. A
more than useful feature for build
automation and test automation.
• New calendaring and scheduling REST
services (via OpenNTF).
• New high performance XPages view
navigator based on Note ID.

The lowest number of fixes for any point

stable and/or IBM is investing less in
fixing
issues

with
Notes/Domino.
