[Gnumed-devel] GNUmed 1.7.rc1 Release Candidate

[Karsten Hilbert]

Hello all,

I am glad to be able to announce the immediate availability
of the GNUmed 1.7.rc1 Release Candidate.


Downloads available from:

        http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/1.7/
        http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/server/v22/


This is for testing and finding bugs, most importantly
related to the database upgrade procedure.


Database upgrade (existing DB):

 Note that this release, as usual, DOES require a database
 upgrade (from v21 to v2) if you wish to retain patient data
 contained within an existing database.

 Use the script provided in the download:

        $> cd .../server/bootstrap/
        $> ./upgrade-db.sh 21 22

 Note that your existing database will remain untouched.
