= About GNU Health Patchsets =

We provide "patchsets" to stable releases. Patchsets allow applying bug 
fixes and updates on production systems. Always try to keep your
production system up-to-date with the latest patches.

Patches and Patchsets maximize uptime for production systems, and keep 
your system updated, without the need to do a whole installation.

NOTE: Patchsets are applied on previously installed systems only. For 
new, fresh installations, download and install the whole tarball (ie,
gnuhealth-4.0.1.tar.gz)

= Updating your system with the GNU Health control Center =

Starting GNU Health 3.x series, you can do automatic updates on the GNU 
Health HMIS kernel and modules using the GNU Health control center
program.

Please refer to the administration manual section 
(https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Health/Control_Center)

The GNU Health control center works on standard installations (those 
done following the installation manual on wikibooks). Don't use it if 
you use an alternative method or if your distribution does not follow 
the GNU Health packaging guidelines.

= Summary of this patchset =

*Update Python dependencies*

We needed to pin some underlying python libraries dependencies. We also 
included defusedxml library, included in a trytond security patch

* progressbar
* defusedxml
* pycountry

GNU Health control center (gnuhealth-control) and gnuhealth-setup 
packages have also been updated to 4.0.1 and ready at GNU.org

= Installation Notes =

You must apply previous patchsets before installing this patchset. If 
your patchset level is 4.0.0, then just follow the general instructions. 
You can find the patchsets at GNU Health main download site at GNU.org 
(https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/health/)

In most cases, GNU Health Control center (gnuhealth-control) takes care 
of applying the patches for you.

Pre-requisites for upgrade to 4.0.1: None

Now follow the general instructions at
* https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Health/Control_Center

After applying the patches, make a full update of your GNU Health
