IBM Traveler 9.0.1.7 shipped with iOS 9 support

Traveler 9.0.1.7 shipped while I was away for holidays. I have updated my server already over the weekend and it looks good.
I have also not heard anything negative from any customer yet.

This release does not only add support for iOS 9 but also Windows 10 Pro on tablet devices and the latest MS SQL Server.

- Support for Windows 10 Pro running on tablet devices.
- Support for Apple iOS 9.x running on all Apple devices.
- Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition.

Here is the link to the fixlist which includes fixes specifiy for iOS9.

Because iOS9 did not ship yet and the version is not final yet, you never know if there are new fixes needed once iOS 9 shipped.
But you should be prepared for iOS9 with this update.

!! Important Reminder !!!

In addition you should keep in mind (as posted before) that Apple is introducing ATS which has way higher requirements for HTTPS/TLS on your server.
The missing component for the Domino HTTP stack is currently ECDHE ciphers. Hopefully IBM will make a new fix available before iOS9 shippes.
If you are running Domino HTTPS for anything that directly communicates with a iOS9 or the next OSX you have to meet the following requrirements:

• TLS 1.2
• >= 2048 bit RSA
• SHA-256 signed web server certificates
• ECDHE!!

So you have to already ensure that your device facing HTTPS component is using the right certificates. If you are running behind a secure reverse proxy you can already check if you meet all requirements.
For native Domino you should upgrade at least to 9.0.1 FP4 to be prepared.
