Platform Release Notes 1.10.0 Alpha

Wednesday May 28th 2014

What's New

The order entry API in prior versions is not well designed and not quite 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 and make it better. 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

You will certainly need to read Prepare for Upgrading From a Pre-1.10 to 1.10 or Later Version

A huge thanks to the 20 people that contributed code to this release:  Ak, Alexis Cartier, Andras Szell, Damian Szafranek, Daniel Kayiwa, Darius Jazayeri, Harsha Kumara, Gitahi Ng'ang'a, Jakub Kondrat, Kaweesi Joseph, Krzysztof Kaczmarczyk, Lech Rozanski, Mark Goodrich, Mujir Shaikh, Nicholas Ingosi Magaja, Rafal Korytkowski, Shruthi Dipali, Vinay Venu, Vinkesh Banka, Wyclif Luyima.

Not to mention all the people that contributed in countless other ways to support this release and be a great part of the shaping of this release: Burke Mamlin, Paul Biondich, Ryan Yates, Michael Downey, Elliot Williams, Anushya Prasad, Mike Seaton, Andy Kanter, Shasha Lui, Chris Power, Jonathan Teich, Roger Friedman.

Community Input

We welcome any user to download OpenMRS 1.10.0 Alpha 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 alpha, 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

But as mentioned earlier, with the introduction of conditional resource loading, you should be able to work with different versions in your modules.
