GNUmed Ubuntu packages updated

GNumed client 0.9.11 and server 15.11 are now available from the GNUmed PPA. This fixes the problem with Oneiric users not being able to bootstrap a GNUmed database.

GNUmed 1.1.0 Release available

Hello all,

I am glad to be able to announce the immediate availability
of the GNUmed 1.1.0 Feature Release.


Downloads available from:

        http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/1.1/
        http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/server/v16/


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 v15 to v16 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 15 16

 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.

 ******** NOTE **********************************************
  Upgrading from v15 to v16 will fail if there are duplicate
  streets, regions, and/or communities in your database (say,
  "Berlin" and "BERLIN").

  When that happens to you - DO NOT PANIC. The upgrade can
  be re-run anytime (as usual). Get in touch with us to get
  instructions on how to de-duplicate. Meanwhile you can keep
  on using your existing v15 database with the old 0.9 client.
  Make sure to upgrade to the 0.9.11 client, too, because
  that will provide facilities to identify those duplicate
  entries.
 ******** NOTE **********************************************

 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 !

 More information on installation or upgrading is found here:

GNUmed introduces data packs

Data packs are GNUmed's way to make available a wide variety of reference data on an as-needed, on-demand basis. By such means,

* there is no need to pre-load the GNUmed database with potentially-unwanted reference information
* downloads can be reduced in size
* easy one-step installation and updates, via GNUmed menu, which any GNUmed praxis administrator (armed with the gm-dbo password) can do

Currently-available data packs can

* install Canadian drug brands and their ingredients and populate the vaccines table
* fill in missing Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification codes for drug names which match the INN names or mapped synonyms
* modify the (upper / lower) case of drug names using the TALLman system of better-distinguishing sound-alike drugs
* hosted here: [[http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/data/][data packs]]

Have fun.
