7. What is a Feature Pack?
IBM Collaboration Solutions
A “Feature Pack” delivers features, in addition to fixes. Our intent is to provide
Feature Packs at a cadence of 3-4 per year
➢ Notes / Domino 9.0.1 will be the baseline release and future updates will be
delivered as feature packs on top of 9.0.1. This provides a mechanism for
continuous delivery and eases deployments.
➢ There are ”core” technical elements required to support the longevity of Domino
applications and these are of the highest priority in the upcoming Feature Packs.
