+1 absolutely @jwnasambu, quite an achievement!

We were in the process of upgrading a forked distribution to be in line with Ref App 2.7, this is now pushing us to do the last mile and be on par with Ref App 2.8 right away (cc @zouchine.)

Thanks for the great work!

@jwnasambu Congs, thanks for the perseverence.

Thank @jwnasambu for getting this out!

On the release notes page, the “Checkout JIRA Issues here” link points to a reference application 2.6 ticket instead of the list that made it into 2.8

11

The release date is also missing on the release notes page.

12

Still on the release notes pages, under “Highlights of Reference Application 2.8.0”, you should also include the features listed on the road map https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Technical+Road+Map

Congrats, thanks @jwnasambu and all the contributors

dkayiwa thanks for pointing out the issues am trying to work on them by still my head is too saturated but i promise to embark on it as soon as possible.

15

I have created the link pointing out the RefApp 2.8 tickets but still the 2.6 ticket is reflected. How can i solve it i have tried several means all in vain.
