OpenMRS Platform 1.10.0 Beta
Monday July 14th 2014
This version of the OpenMRS Platform is a pre-release and not considered worthy for production use. Its function is to give users an idea of what to expect in the upcoming major release (1.10.0) and help discover any possible obscure new bugs.
What's New
The order entry API in prior versions was not well designed and not as useful in handling the relatively complex ordering workflows in a typical clinical setting. Therefore, the main focus for this version was to refactor the order entry API. The release has 2 major changes.
- Re-designed Order Entry API in a backwards incompatible way, there isn't yet a user interface for managing orders and order types, see below for user interface changes
- Conditional resource loading to support multiple OpenMRS versions in a module
- The exit patient from care feature has been removed from the legacy patient dashboard and will be provided in a module.
You will certainly need to read Prepare for Upgrading From a Pre-1.10 to 1.10 or Later Version

Community Input
We welcome any user to download OpenMRS 1.10.0 Beta and try it out, give us feedback, and potentially bug reports on this release. We especially ask current users to try this version out on their own database and with their custom modules.
If you are the lead developer of a module, then you should test out your module against this 1.10.0 beta, so if you need to make any changes, you can do so well before the final release.
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 1.10.0 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).
We do not recommend using this in a production environment!

Bundled Modules
There are no bundled modules in the release.
User Interface Changes
- All UI components for managing order and order types have been removed.
- The regimens tab on the patient dashboard has been removed.
- You can no longer merge patient where any of the losing patients has active orders
Non-Backwards-Compatible Changes for Developers
Developers take note: unfortunately 1.10 includes several non-backwards-compatible changes from prior versions for the following classes.
- OrderService
- Order
- DrugOrder
- OrderUtil
But as mentioned earlier, with the introduction of conditional resource loading, you should be able to work with different versions in your modules.

Upcoming End of Release Notice
OpenMRS 1.7 will reach end of life when 1.10.0 is released.
As of described in Unsupported Releases (EOL), OpenMRS can only support up to three released versions at a time (the current release and then two versions back). With the release of OpenMRS 1.10.0, support for 1.7 will no longer be provided by the core Development Team for OpenMRS 1.7.x and earlier. This announcement also serves as advance notice that support will end for OpenMRS 1.8.x, concurrent with the release of OpenMRS 1.11.0
