Dear community I am happy to announce that the GNU Health Hospital Information System 5.0.3 patchset has been released! In addition to the patches, you will notice a tarball significantly smaller than previous bundles, mainly from not excluding large translation files that need work. You can of course always download the most current translation of any GNU Health package from our weblate instance at Codeberg.(https://translate ... ojects/gnuhealth/) If you use the vanilla / standard installation, you can update the server and the dependencies from the gnuhealth control center (https://docs.gnuh ... ontrolcenter.html) ### Backup As usual, before you upgrade your instance, make sure you have made a backup of your DB instance and "attach" resource !

Dear community I am happy to announce that the GNU Health Hospital Information System 5.0.1 patchset has been released! ### Packages updated * health core * dentistry If you use the vanilla / standard installation, you can update the server and the dependencies from the **gnuhealth control center** (https://docs.gnuh ... ontrolcenter.html) ### Backup As usual, before you upgrade your instance, make sure you have made a **backup** of your DB instance and "attach" resource ! ### Note about Matplotlib We have simplified the dependency list and include matplotlib in it, so no need to look for the package at OS level. That said, Matplotlib is a complex package and we had run into issues installing it in FreeBSD from PyPi in the past. Please report if you find any issue, specially in the update process or in the chart generation context.

Dear community I am happy to announce that we have released a virtualbox image containing the GNU Health Hospital Management System 5.0 server running on a Debian GNU/Linux operating system. This virtual machine is a GNU Health "plug and play" distribution, with SSH server, postgreSQL and Tryton services enabled at boot time. It also provides the GNU Health HIS GTK client. You can download the latest 5.0 image from: https://www.gnuhealth.org/downloads/images/ Users: - gnuhealth: The admin user for the the HMIS server (passwd: "gnu") - root: Its password is "gnu" ****PLEASE make sure you change both passwords** ** The server uses the official ("vanilla") installation method, so all the links, aliases, logs and documentation are current. The HIS server is enabled by default. It runs automatically at operating system boot time. Demo DB: We have also included the demo DB "health50", same as the one in the community server. The credentials are the same (admin/gnusolidario) You can create your own database and customize the server. This is a full blown server and operating system ready to use. Disk space: In order to save resources and download times this is a **very** small image. You need to resize the disk and filesystem if you are going to use it in production. If you need a larger or custom image for your health institution, you can request it by contacting us at health@gnusolidario.org . The image is compressed in gzip format. Make sure you uncompress it before importing into virtualbox.
