GNUmed 0.9.0 released

Hello all,

I am glad to be able to announce the immediate availability
of the GNUmed 0.9.0 Feature Release.


Downloads available from:

http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/0.9/
http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/server/v15/


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:

Database installation / upgrade:

Note that this release, as usual, DOES require a database
upgrade from v14 to v15 if you already have a database and
wish to retain the patient data you documented therein. For
uprading you can use the script provided in the tarball:

.../server/bootstrap/upgrade-db.sh 14 15

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 !
