GNUmed 0.5.0 for MacOS X released

The GNUmed team has started an effort to bring the latest release (0.5.0) to the Mac platform. This has resulted in beta quality packages which let any user try GNUmed on a Mac. It has been tested on Mac OS 10.4 aka Tiger and should work on Mac OS 10.5 as well.

Anyone willing to help out by improving the package and packaging future versions is welcome to join the team.

There are a few features that could potentially enhance the GNUmed on Mac OS experience such as an OSIRIX Dicome viewer integration but that is left to the inclined Mac user.

Download and enjoy GNUmed 0.5.0 from

GNUmed 0.4.7 has been synced for Karmic

My sync request has been processed and we are happy to announce that the latest stable version in the 0.4.x series of GNUmed (0.4.7) has been synced for the Karmic release.

This is good news as this version is in good shape and will hopefully spare us from the many but reports that 0.3.9 in Jaunty has brought us.

For some reason it has been virtually impossible to refer users to the updated versions in the GNUmed PPA so it is most important that the version shiped in Karmic is in good shape.
