10-Mar — News Blog: OpenMRS 1.6 RC is ready
Hi All, After a longer-than-expected delay, and a few bugfixes, the OpenMRS 1.6 Release Candidate is ready, and available on the prereleases page. Have at it! Assuming no bugs, this should become the official release by March 19th. -Darius
17-Feb — News Blog:
Hi All, Apologies, but there was a non-obvious-but-show-stopper bug in the Beta 2 from this morning. The offending code has been removed, and OpenMRS 1.6 Beta 3 is now ready for testing. You can get it here. Assuming no further major bugs, we should have the release candidate out in a week. We?re looking for one implementation (in addition to AMPATH, who has generously offered) to test out the release candidate in production, so we can be totally sure it?s stable. Let me know if you?re interested in that being you. -Darius

30-Jan — News Blog: OpenMRS 1.6 Beta Released
Hi All, Thanks to everyone who tested our alpha release of 1.6, we’re releasing 1.6 Beta. You can get it on the downloads page. We’ve made only two significant changes since the alpha: We’ve implemented “core modules” properly, meaning that we may now have modules that are required by core, and OpenMRS will not start up if they are not present. (The purpose is to make it easier for feature development to happen independently. Logic is the only one of these at the moment.) We had switched the role name from “System Developer” to “Administrator” but we’ve switched that back. It will change to Administrator again in the future, but not until we have added an integer primary key to the table so that we may correctly rename the role, instead of deleting and re-adding it. (Thanks Mark Goodrich for testing with the Patient Flags module and catching this.) You can see the additional trivial changes in the release notes. We still need to see some further testing of Beta release before we’re ready to move onto a release candidate. And I’m actually going on vacation for a week. So…go ahead and test away so that when I get back we’ll be all set to release. -Darius
16-Jan — News Blog: OpenMRS 1.6 Alpha Released
Hi OpenMRS Community, Our first alpha preview release of OpenMRS 1.6 is ready! First off, I’d like to thank the 35 developers who contributed code to this release: Agnor, arthurs, ayeung, ball, bmckown, bwolfe, cliff.mcintosh, dfuterman, djazayeri, dthomas, emendez, ewolodzko, hkwathome, jamesm, jmiranda, Keelhaul, Knoll_Frank, luzhuangwei, madanmohan, mkopinsky, mogoodrich, mseaton, msheley, n.nehete, nribeka, Pascal, r0bby, rarcos, rcrichton, samrajni, sunbiz, suneeth, tmdugan, upul, yatitandon You can read the release notes here or, if you’re impatient, you can go straight to the prerelease downloads page. Note that this is a PRE-release, intended for testing, and not for production deployment. The changes made in 1.6 are much less invasive than those we made in 1.5, so I expect there to be far fewer bugs, and I expect us to be able to get to beta, or even to a release candidate, within a couple weeks. But to do that we need your help. We need people to install 1.6 alpha, play around with it and look for bugs. There are three specific things I’d really like to ask for help testing: Everyone, even if you don’t have time for thorough testing, should try making a copy of their database, upgrading it by running this 1.6 alpha war, and reporting any failures People who use logic should test their code and make sure it still works now that most logic code has been pulled out into a module If you want to have Patients-who-are-Users then that is now possible. Please test it! Module owners should re-test their modules, because of a small number of unavoidable non-backwards-compatible changes. HTML Form Entry is broken, for instance. A week from today I would like to release an alpha-2 or a beta release, so do your testing sooner rather than later. Thanks, Darius
