Release Notes 1.5.4

Release date: Jun 28th 2011

This is the latest stable release of OpenMRS. We recommend all users upgrade to this version. The 1.5.4 database is compatible with all other 1.5.x versions, so rolling back your installation in the case of errors is trivial. Please note that 1.5.x releases are not backwards compatible with 1.4, so you will not be able to roll back the database easily.

These files are only needed if database creation or database updating needs to be done offline. Otherwise, just install the OpenMRS war (or api jar) and run through the updates automatically.
