Platform 2.1.0-alpha Release Notes

Release Date: Friday, March 3, 2017

What's New

Some interesting features in the 2.1 line will be:

• Faster patient searches (using Lucene under the hood)
• Loosening restrictions on merging patients who have orders
• Simple approach for developers to add caches programmatically

We expect that 2.1.x will be the first non-LTS release line of the OpenMRS Platform. Read more about this means in the (future) release notes for the beta, or final release.
