Community Input

We welcome any user to download OpenMRS 1.11.0 Alpha and try it out, give us feedback, and potentially bug reports on this release. We especially ask current users to try this version out on their own database and with their custom modules.

If you are the lead developer of a module, then you should test out your module against this 1.11.0 alpha, so if you need to make any changes, you can do so well before the final release.

Even if you don't have time to do any thorough testing, we'd really appreciate it if you can upgrade a copy of your database to the 1.11.0 data model, and report on any errors than may occur in the upgrade script.

If a new bug is found create a new JIRA ticket .

We do not recommend using this in a production environment!
