Note: The Spool File Archive feature of OnDemand for i is not compatible with the version 8.5 clients. Customers using Spool File Archive should use no higher than the 8.4.1.5 version of the client until they have migrated to Common Server. The Compact Type install option has been removed from Windows Clients install. If the OnDemand Windows client was installed as Compact Type, installing the OnDemand Windows client V8.5 without first uninstalling this previous version may have unexpected results. For this reason, if you have a previous version of the OnDemand client installed as Compact Type, you must uninstall the OnDemand client before installing V8.5. The CD-ROM Client included with Production Data Distribution does not have any install type selection option so uninstallation is not necessary. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.1) Windows 32bit Client 1.1.8.5.0.0) Release (8.5.0.0) - Pre-reqs - Windows XP SP2 or later - Windows Vista or later - Windows 7 or later Enhancements: Added support for doing an unload from the System Log or System Load Hit List Added support for custom messages retrieved from server to include hyperlinks which will be highlighted and clicked on (ie.
