Release 3.01 was distributed starting on 03.19.2007. It is a fix release.
Release 3.02 was released in June of 2007. Changes:

• IVC3000, the iView server launcher, substantially rewritten to simplify and to permit invocation from QSTRUP.

Release 3.03 was never released as a separate version. It's objects were distributed separately as required.

• iView now invokes iDocs merges using the standard api TFPRTAPI .
• iView will now process an iDocs form set . This form set should either not sort/burst, or the sort/burst should precisly match that of the iView archive application so that after bursting only one output spool file is produced by iDocs. The user is still unable to prompt for iDocs form sets in archive setup (to discourage people from using them#, but the form set name can be keyed and the iView engine will invoke it.
• iView installation now has an option to install only the backend of the product, i.e. all of the product except the web front end.
• iView server will now work with SMB networked directories

Release of iView 4 contains these enhancements:

• FTP interface to a remote ftp server is provided for. In addition to archiving as usual, the iView engine will ftp the archived pdf document to the remote host, and optionally include a text file with the search indices values. Also optionally the engine will execute a user specified post ftp command.
• Archiving options for the original spool file are expanded to *RETAIN, *ORIGINAL, *SYSTEM, and *NONE.
• The user profile under which iView archives the spool file and executes the post ftp command is now configurable to be either the system profile IVIEW or the user profile that owns the input spool file iView is processing.
• Archiving of the intermediate *USERASCII spool file is enabled if the data area DSRETASC is set to Y.

• Shared Cookie Space: iView now coexists peacefully on the System i web server with other applications that use cookies.
• Different versions: standalone, and integrated versions. Integrated version coexists with iDocs in the same partition.
