Release Notes 1.7.0 RC

Aug 5, 2010

Whats New Since 1.6

Version 1.7 of OpenMRS has six (6) major changes. (A larger list can be found below.)

• Problem lists and allergy lists
• Location Hierarchy and Location Tagging
• Improved handling of Concept Tags
• Support for Spring Framework 3.0
• Migrate Boolean concepts to codes in the database
• Daemon user for background/system processes
  We welcome any user to download OpenMRS 1.7 RC and try it out, give us feedback, and potentially bug reports on this release. We especially ask current users try this version out on their own database and with their custom modules.

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 1.7 data model, and report on any errors than may occur in the upgrade script.

If a new bug is found, send an email to one of the mailing lists or create a new JIRA ticket (click upper right icon)

• Signup for an OpenMRS ID (registration required).

We do not recommend using this in a production environment!
