After the successful launch of HCL Domino v12.0 in June 2021, we are approaching the next milestone: We’re happy to announce two new beta programs at once, HCL Domino 12.0.1 and HTMO 3.0.3 have both launched a Beta Program today!
You are invited to join the beta program to test our latest release and provide feedback to development teams.
We’re calling on our community to share open, effective, and thoughtful review and testing of our software product. Your input is essential to how we develop our products, and we will continue to listen to you every step along our roadmap.
What you can expect from this first beta of Domino v12.0.1:
HCL Notes Client
Domino Online Meeting Integration
The Notes Client 12.0.1 is providing native integration of online meeting platforms like Zoom, Webex, GoToMeeting, Teams and of course Sametime Meetings. So, from within the Notes calendar users can now more easily schedule online meetings on their preferred platform without having to install a plug-in.

Improved Workspace Design with High Resolution Icons
The new Notes client is finally allowing to use high resolution icons for your databases, which makes a big difference to the look and feel of your workspace! No need to stick to small and old style 32×32 pixel database icons anymore.
We have already updated our standard templates with new icons, will you update yours?

We have already provided a 64Bit Notes client (in beta as of now), and based on your request are now providing a 64Bit Domino Designer client.
Also, Domino Designer v12.0.1 provides the ability to include high quality icons for rendering and enables developers to optimize the database full text index by defining which fields to be included in the index — a feature that many customers were requesting (see this idea).
