It’s finally there! The announcement was made today that IBM Lotus Quickr V8.5 will be released on September 13th. This release was long anticipated!

Early 2009, on the eve of the Quickr 8.2 release the DomDoc redbook team I was on describing a migration path from the DomDoc platform to Quickr was already told some of the features likely to be in the 8.5 release. One (folder security) even made it into the Redbook itself as an announcement for the next (8.5) release.

At that moment, we didn’t know it would take until September 2010 to actually get that release. So it feels really good that it’s here now and I can’t wait to start working with it!
