GNUmed 1.6.0 Feature Release

Hello all,

I am glad to be able to announce the immediate availability
of the GNUmed 1.6.0 Feature Release.


	NOTE: This release requires PostgreSQL 9.2 at minimum.


Downloads available from:

	http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/1.6/
	http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/server/v21/


Client installation:

 Easily installable packages for your platform of choice
 will be available shortly.

 Meanwhile you can run the client from a downloaded tarball
 or use the net based client installer:

	http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/gm-install_client_locally.sh

 which you need to download, make executable, and run.

 More information available here:

	http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/InstallerGuideHomeShort


Database installation / upgrade:

 Note that this release, as usual, DOES require a database
 upgrade (from v20 to v21) if you already have a database and
 wish to retain the patient data you documented therein.

 Also note that this release does REQUIRE Postgresql 9.2 as
 the minimum version. BEFORE upgrading your PostgreSQL
 cluster you MUST make sure to bring your existing v20
 database up to at least version v20.10 (1.5.10) by running
 the database fixup script against it:

	$> gm-fixup_server 20

 or

	$> .../server/bootstrap/fixup-db.sh 20

 For uprading the GNUmed database you can use the script
 provided in the tarball:

	.../server/bootstrap/upgrade-db.sh 20 21

 Alternatively, you can use the network upgrader:

	http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/server/net_upgrade-gnumed_server.sh

 (which you need to download, make executable and run)

 If you wish to install a fresh database (without upgrading
 an existing one) you can use the install script:

	.../server/bootstrap/bootstrap-latest.sh

 or, again, the network based installer:

	http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/server/net_install-gnumed_server.sh

 Note that both ways WILL DELETE existing databases !
