OpenMRS-core 2.1.0-beta Release Notes
- Darius Jazayeri
Release Date: Friday, April 7, 2017
This version of OpenMRS Core 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:
Support for status (e.g. for recording preliminary lab results) and interpretation (e.g. for marking a test result as abnormal)
Enhancements to the data model for Cohorts, to add a start date and end date
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, where we only release openmrs-core to maven for developers, and don't do a full OpenMRS Platform release. Read more about this means in the (future) release notes final release.
