RELEASE NOTES - CREATOR v5.3.5
RELEASED 30th October 2009 

SUPPORTS S60 3.0+

===============================================================================

Product Description:
====================
The Creator tool can be used to create different kinds of data into a device.
It's useful for testing that the device works correctly when there are
large amounts of data saved.

Main Features:
==============
- Creating appointment, event, anniversary, todo, and reminder entries
- Creating bookmark, bookmark folder, saved page, and saved page folder
  entries
- Creating different kinds of predefined file formats with or without DRM
- Creating missed call, received call, and dialed number entries
- Creating SMS, MMS, AMS, Email, Smart, Infrared and Bluetooth messages
- Creating mailbox entries
- Creating connection method, IMPS server, landmark and note entries
- Creating contact and contact group entries
- Entries can be created on the UI or by using scripts
- Entries can be deleted with the UI

===============================================================================

What's New in v5.3.5
====================
- Fix: Creator crashes when creating 2000 contact entries.
- Fix: Creator cannot create 1000 SMS messages

===============================================================================

Installation Notes:
===================
Creator is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the
ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, a .sis file can be found under the sis-
directory, but the user needs to sign it with their own developer certificate.
In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under
the internal\sis directory.

When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are
needed:
  ReadDeviceData
  WriteDeviceData
  AllFiles
  SwEvent
  NetworkServices
  LocalServices
  ReadUserData
  WriteUserData
  Location
  UserEnvironment

===============================================================================

System Requirements:
====================
Basic Requirements:
- Any S60 3.x device, 5.x device or emulator environment

===============================================================================

Compatibility Issues:
=====================
Since version 5.0.0, the old .creator script files are no longer supported, 
therefore you should use the new .creatorxml format instead. However, the script
support is not available for S60 3.0 and 3.1 releases.

When Creator has been compiled against 3.0 or 3.1, it will use the old
phonebook and accesspoint APIs. With 3.2 and newer, new virtual phonebook and
connection method APIs are used.

===============================================================================

Known Issues:
=============
- Generated browser saved pages cannot be opened in the browser. Currently no
  workaround available.
- Logs: <datetime> element is not saved into database. Event time is always
  creation time of the event. S60 feature.
- Deleting Notes created only with Creator is not supported
- Deleting mailboxes is not supported
- Deleting entries without using Creator may cause Creator to delete incorrect
  entries when using Delete -> ... -> By Creator -command
