Dear Community, If you’ve been following the #openmrs3 slack channel, you’ll know that this October @ibacher @dennis and I drilled our focus into the O3 release process. **This post is a 2-for-1 announcement:** Both to announce the 3.0.0-beta.14 release, and to share what we learned from this intentional experiment to try a number of release-protocol-improvements. OpenMRS RefApp Release 3.0.0-beta14 is out! 🎉 Congratulations to these first-time “official” code contributors: @kajambiya, @kazlaw, @elimm, @NYESIGA, and @DilshanNaveen 🏆 ### NOTE: Please stay tuned for beta15 which will have a bunch of bug fixes for issues discovered in beta14. Thanks for your patience while we get our release cadence dialed-in. ## 3.0.0-beta.14 Release Highlights ### O3 Core Improvements - SWR is now a shared library - The service worker is now opt-in for local development - Fixes to the openmrs tooling - A new useDebounce hook ### O3 Patient Chart Improvements - New lab order form and improvements to the order basket - Forms and Notes widget replaced by the Clinical Form workspace - Support for printing test results and vitals - Broader i18n coverage - Improved workspace implementation - React Hook Form and Zod ### O3 Form Builder Improvements - Ability to reorder questions via drag and drop - Ability to copy and download form schemas - Show form audit information ### Angular Form Engine - We’re now using Angular v14 - i18n everywhere - [2 Breaking changes](https://o3-docs.openmrs.org/docs/changelog#:~:text=opening%20a%20form.-,BREAKING%20CHANGES,-(BREAKING)%20Bump%20Angular) ## Links - Detailed Release Notes: ⭐**See [the O3 Changelog](https://o3-docs.openmrs.org/docs/changelog) where the exhaustive list of included features and fixes is updated with each release.** ⭐ - Demo Instance: [OpenMRS O3 RefApp Demo](https://o3.openmrs.org) (admin/Admin123) ## Contributors Alphabetically by Organization affiliation: - Brown University: @ibacher - ICRC: @jofrancisco, @luis.oliveira - Mekom: @bistenes, @kazlaw, @vasharma05 - GSOC: @ayushmishra, @lumuchris256, @randila - OpenMRS Support: @dennis, @jayasanka, @Piumal1999 (Fellow) - Palladium-Kenya: @minimalist, @dkibet - PIH: @mogoodrich - UCSF: @kajambiya, @larslemos, @pirupius, @samuel34, @odorajonathan - Independent Contributors: @DilshanNaveen, @elimm, @Jexsie, @jwnasambu, @nanfuka, @njiddasalifu, @NYESIGA ## What We Learned - We followed the **[“How to Release the O3 RefApp” guide](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/projects/How+to+Release+the+O3+RefApp)** and that worked fairly well - **The test3 QA Release and [Manual QA Checklist](https://om.rs/o3qasheet) did help** us catch a **lot** of bugs. Most of these are fixed or almost fixed and will be included in the next release, 3.0.0-beta.15 - **The new E2E test coverage is helping** ; there were far less “this is obviously visually broken” things discovered in Manual QA than any other O3 releases I can think of. Which is nice because Manual QA time is best spent trying to break things 😈 and use deeper critical thinking 😇 - **Tracking via Fix Version Release Numbers in Jira helps us be way more organized.** E.g. see the release numbers here: [Dashboard - OpenMRS Issues](https://issues.openmrs.org/projects/O3?selectedItem=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin%3Arelease-page&status=unreleased) You can see we already have a plan for what will go out in the next release. ---

Apologies, I forgot one thing in these Release Notes, which I plan to include in every O3 Release post: **The OMOD and ESM (O3) App version numbers**. Here they are for 3.0.0-beta.14. We will be releasing 3.0.0-beta.15 soon (hopefully this week but most likely early next week) and I’ll be sure to highlight any version # changes. | Backend Module Name | Installed Version | Required Version | | --- | --- | --- | | fhir2 | 1.10.0 | ^1.2.0 | | o3forms | 2.1.0 | | | openconceptlab | 2.1.0 | \>=1.2.0 | | reporting | 1.25.0 | ^1.0.0 | | reportingrest | 1.14.0 | ^1.0.0 | | webservices.rest | 2.41.0.756cb3 | ^2.24.0 | | Frontend Module (O3 App) Name | Version in 3.0.0-beta.14 | | --- | --- | | @openmrs/esm-active-visits-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-appointments-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-cohort-builder-app | 3.0.1-pre.174 | | @openmrs/esm-devtools-app | 5.2.0 | | @openmrs/esm-dispensing-app | 1.0.1-pre.240 | | @openmrs/esm-fast-data-entry-app | 1.0.1-pre.110 | | @openmrs/esm-form-builder-app | 2.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-form-entry-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-generic-patient-widgets-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-home-app | 5.0.0 | | @openmrs/esm-implementer-tools-app | 5.2.0 | | @openmrs/esm-login-app | 5.2.0 | | @openmrs/esm-openconceptlab-app | 4.0.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-allergies-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-appointments-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-attachments-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-banner-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-biometrics-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-chart-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-conditions-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-flags-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-forms-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-labs-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-list-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-medications-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-notes-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-orders-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-programs-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-registration-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-search-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-patient-vitals-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-primary-navigation-app | 5.2.0 | | @openmrs/esm-service-queues-app | 5.1.0 | | @openmrs/esm-system-admin-app | 4.0.0 |
