THANK YOU WIKUM AND EVERYONE!

This is a huge deal - as I understand it from Ian & Daniel:

Platform 2.7 is a 2x-faster platform for development & start-up time! :exploding_head:

Thank you. For the migration, you need to follow these steps.

  • Create a backup of your current database
  • Replace your existing openmrs.war file with the new OpenMRS 2.7.0 WAR file
  • Download and replace your existing modules with their latest compatible versions.
  • Restart your server. OpenMRS will prompt you for the admin username and password so it can apply the necessary database updates on your next login.

Let us know if you have any questions or need further assistance.
