Platform 2.1.0-alpha Release Notes

Release Date: Friday, March 3, 2017

This version of the OpenMRS Platform is a pre-release and is not ready for production use. Its purpose is to give users an idea of what to expect in the upcoming release and help discover any possible obscure new bugs.

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.

Feedback Welcome!

As always, we look forward to getting your feedback about this release. Share your thoughts on http://talk.openmrs.org.

For example there are a couple of significant features that still need significant work before making it into the final release, such as:

Error rendering macro 'jira' : Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.
