Yes. We'll release it on December 30th (or at least that the planned day :-) ).

Normally Tryton releases a new version around 6 months [0] . GNU
Health has it's own release cycle, but normally changes minor number
shortly after the release of a new Tryton version, mainly because it
involves changes at different levels (user, interface, ... )

We already started on the migration for the main core module. We have
to work on different fronts.

- Documentation
- Beta testing
- Update and optimize the demo sever(s) data
- Localization
- Migration
- Development ( the new module to be included in the initial 1.8.0 is
health_ICU - Intensive Care -).
- ...

So, any help on these areas will be greatly appreciated ! :-)
