Release Notes 1.7.0 RC2

Release date: Nov 3rd, 2010

This version of OpenMRS is a prerelease and not considered worthy for production use. Its function is to give users an idea of what to expect and help discover any possible obscure new bugs.
See the release notes for 1.7.0 for the final production-ready release.

Providing Feedback

We strongly urge all developers/implementers to download OpenMRS 1.7 RC2 and try it out, give us feedback, and potentially bug reports on this release. We especially ask current users try this version out on their own database and with their custom modules.

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 1.7 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, signup for an ?OpenMRS ID first)

We do not recommend using this in a production environment!
