Thanks @mherman22 and @abertnamanya for pushing this work to the finish line.

Just one question for you → Do we have the Platform 2.6.0 Standalone and WAR(for Enterprise) editions available on the download page?

7

Thanks @kdaud but to answer your question;-

  • The WAR file can be found at Download openmrs.war (OpenMRS) ( i am gonna update the website to reflect the link on the downloads page).
  • For the standalone, i could get clarity from @dkayiwa or @ibacher @raff , our ci pipeline doesn’t seem to create a standalone anymore(i could be wrong).
8

That will be great! so the users can have access to the link via :openmrs: website.

What would be the recommended way to upgrade to core 2.6.0 for instances currently running on core 2.5.8 without disturbing the DB or breaking anything?

Could not find the instructions for the upgradation process in the release notes

Thank you!

Not quite certain, However, take a look at Upgrading Core on a running instance of OpenMRS (looks to be your post though :slight_smile: ) and How to update the OpenMRS Core version of Bahmni?
