> preset for getting assocations owned by the object.
>
> Docs <https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s07.html>

>
> *User import:* The user resource supports import of multiple users with

>
>
> *Caching:* The Web API supports shallow E-tags, which adds validation
> caching reduces the need for transferring data over the network.
>
>
> - Technical improvements -
>
>
> *GIS:* GIS is rewritten to become a true web app. A new client side
> translation solution makes load-time faster.
>
> *Sharing:* The DHIS 2 store layer is rewritten to respect sharing
> directly in queries, leading to a faster and more secure system.
>
> *Calendar support:* The flexible calendar solution is now implemented
> consistently in all analysis, event and tracker apps.
