I had the chance to play with the 8.5.1 (Beta) Developer client today. I’m impressed. The client opens a database lightning-fast ( compared to 8.5 ). When you look at the statusbar while loading and opening a database in designer, you will see, that the tool is still working on some tasks but you are able to access your forms and code while this tasks are about to finish. ( elevator effect ?? )
Lotusscript now has a new look and finally it has a class-browser.
IBM Lotus Notes/Domino and Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1 is prerelease software and there are no guarantees from IBM that the functionality presented will be in the final shipping product.
You should try all the other nifty features: autocompletion in the new ls editor (including custom classes), hover help, code & comment templates, CTRL+L etc.

@Rene: I will, I will 🙂
Ulrich,Does your screen shot taken from Windows machine ? Lotus script editor looks awesome, crystal clear interface 🙂
@Rishi: yep, it’s 8.51 Beta running on XP SP3. I’ve modified the font settings. Most of them are “bold” by default and I’ve set these to “normal”
@Ulrich,
That’s great.. I’m too waiting for 8.5.1 beta copy 🙁
