>>>>
>>>> - *OpenID authentication*: The system can now be configured to

>>>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-settings/systemAccessSettings.action>

>>>>
>>>> - *CSV meta-data import*: From import-export module you can now import

>>>> import is quite handy when doing ad-hoc imports from spreadsheets and the
>>>> like.

>>>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-importexport/dxf2MetaDataImport.action?importFormat=csv>
>>>>
>>>>
>>>> - *More dynamic attributes*: You can now assign dynamic attributes to
>>>> data sets and organisation unit group sets. This is useful when you need to

>>>> attributes on these objects.
>>>>
>>>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-dataadmin/showAddAttributeForm.action>
>>>>
>>>>
>>>> - *Unit intervals*: Data elements now have a new numeric value type
>>>> called unit interval, which is a continuous number between 0 and 1. This is
>>>> useful e.g. when you require users to enter a percentage in data entry
>>>> without having to specify validation rules for each data element.

>>>> Demo<http://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-datadictionary/showAddDataElementForm.action>
>>>>
>>>>
>>>> - *Standard comments*: Data elements can now define option sets for
>>>> data value comments. This means that you can use an option set to define a
>>>> standard, common set of comments to data values, and let users choose an
>>>> option by clicking inside the data entry cells and using the regular
>>>> comment field. You can check it out on the demo for the "facility

>>>>
>>>> - *Extended sharing*: The sharing paradigm has now been applied to a
>>>> new range of objects: org unit group set, data element group, data element
>>>> group set, category combination, category, category option, sql view, user
>>>> role, validation rule group, option set, tracked entity attribute. The
