Release date: Nov 19th 2010

This is the latest stable release of OpenMRS. We recommend all users upgrade to this version. The 1.5.3 database is compatible with v1.5.2 and v1.5.1, so rolling back your installation in the case of errors is trivial. Please note that 1.5.x releases are not backwards compatible with 1.4, so you will not be able to roll back the database easily.

Manual SQL Updates

Database creation and updating is done in the webapp at startup now.
These files are only needed if database creation or database updating needs to be done offline. Otherwise, just install the OpenMRS war (or api jar) and run through the updates automatically.
