Latest roll up patch for 10.1.3.4.1 is now out in the wild. Yep, there are bug fixes but the guys have implemented some great enhancements. I'll be covering some of them over the coming weeks, from collapsing bookmarks in your PDFs to better MS AD support to 'true' Excel templates, yes you read that correctly!
Patch is available from Oracle's support site. Just search for patch 9546699. Here's the contents and readme, apologies for the big list but at least you can search against it for a particular fix.
This patch contains backports of following bugs for BI Publisher Enterprise 10.1.3.4.0 and 10.1.3.4.1.

INSTALLATION FOR ENTERPRISE
----------------------------
Upgrade from 10.1.3.4.0d (patch 8284524, 8398280) and 10.1.3.4.1 does not require step 8 and step 9.
1 - Make a backup copy of the xmlp-server-config.xml file located in <application installation>/WEB-INF/ directory,
where your
application server unpacked the BI Publisher war or ear file.
Example:
In an Oracle AS/OC4J 10.1.3 deployment, the location is
<ORACLE_HOME>/j2ee/home/applications/xmlpserver/xmlpserver/WEB-INF/xmlp-server-config.xml
2 - Back up all the directories under the BI Publisher repository
(for example: {Oracle_Home}/xmlp/XMLP).
3 - If you are using Scheduling, back up your existing BI Publisher Scheduler schema.
4 - Shut down BI Publisher.
5 - Undeploy the BI Publisher
application ("xmlpserver") from your J2EE
application server.
See your
application server documentation for instructions how to undeploy an
application.
6 - Deploy the 10.1.3.4 xmlpserver.ear or xmlpserver.war to your
application server.
See "Manually Installing BI Publisher to Your J2EE
Application Server" secition of BI Publisher Installation Guide
for guidelines for your
application server type.
7 - Copy the saved backup copy of the xmlp-server-config.xml file from step 1 to the newly created BI Publisher
<application installation>/WEB-INF/ directory, where your
application server unpacked the BI Publisher war or ear file.
Example:
In an Oracle AS/OC4J 10.1.3 deployment, the location is
<ORACLE_HOME>/j2ee/home/applications/xmlpserver/xmlpserver/WEB-INF/xmlp-server-config.xml
8 - Copy ssodefaults.xml to the following directory. And replace [host]:[port] with your server's information.
Default values for other properties can be updated depending on your configuration.
<Existing Repository>\XMLP\Admin\Security
9 - Copy database-config.xml to the following directory.
<Existing Repository>\XMLP\Admin\Scheduler
10 - Restart xmlpserver
application or
Application Server
----------------------------------
IBM WEBSPHERE 6.1 DEPLOYMENT NOTE
----------------------------------
When users fail to log on to BI Publisher with "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error" on WebSphere 6.1,
you must change Class Loader configuration to avoid the error.
(bug7506253 - XMLPSERVER WON'T START AFTER DEPLOYMENT TO WEBSPHERE 6.1)
SystemErr.log:
java.lang.VerifyError: class loading constraint violated (class: oracle/xml/parser/v2/XMLNode method: xdkSetQxName(Loracle/xml/util/QxName;)V) at pc: 0
....
Class Loader Configuration Steps:
1 - Login to WebSphere Admin console. Click Enterprise Applications under Applications menu
2 - Click xmlpserver
application name from the list
3 - Select "Class loading and update detection"
4 - Update class loader configuration as follows in Class Loader -> General Properties
* Polling interval for updated files:
[0] Seconds
* Class loader order:
[x] Classes loaded with
application class loader first
* WAR class loader policy:
[x] Single class loader for
application
5 - Apply this change and save the new configuration.
6 - Restart xmlpserver
application
Please refer to WebSphere 6.1 documentation for more details.

-------------------------------------------------------
Oracle WebLogic Server 11g R1 (10.3.1) Deployment NOTE
-------------------------------------------------------
If you are deploying BI Publisher to WebLogic Server 10.3.1, you must add the following setting at startup for the domain
that contains the BI Publisher server in the /weblogic_home/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin/startWebLogic.sh script :
-Dtoplink.xml.platform=oracle.toplink.platform.xml.jaxp.JAXPPlatform
This setting is required to enable BI Publisher to find the TopLink JAR files to create the Scheduler tables.
