If you still believe in IBM’s “Backward Compatibility” you’re nuts  

By David Leedy | 10/14/15, 12:46 PM | - | Added by John Oldenburger

Yes that’s a shocking title. I almost NEVER do that. But I wanted to get your attention so sue me. I’ve seen a couple of remarks here and there about XPages and poor “backward compatibility” like we’re used to having with the Notes Client. In the Web / XPages world “Backward compatibility” guarantees are a thing of the past.

BAD bug found in IBM Domino 9.0.1 FixPack4 (FP4)  

By David Leedy | 7/31/15, 4:47 PM | - | Added by John Oldenburger

If you have a view column that is calculated by a formula and you change the programmatic name of the column to something that matches a field on the document that that fields value will show in the view column and NOT your calculated formula. This does NOT occur in FP3. We’ve seen this in the Notes Client as well as in XPages Code.
