Hi again,

Just to clarify:
To all of you maintaining in-production DHIS 2 systems, especially those
with many installations, we highly recommend to wait with updating the
application until we have released a final 2.0.5 version. It should not be
many days away. For non-production installations, the almost release-ready
code in the 2.0.5 branch referred to below is the recommended one, and
should be fairly stable by now. It is a good idea to start using it now, if
you haven't already, to get familiar with the new features and to solve any
possible update issues with your databases, so that you are better prepared
when the 2.0.5 version is out. If you come across any bugs with this code
your bug reports are of course highly welcome and important for us in
stabilising this new version.

Thanks.

>> Hi,

>> Aymar, please upgrade to the latest revision of the 2.0.5 branch which is

>> There have been some major changes and improvements to data set sections

>> some problems with sections in earlier 2.0.5 revisions.
>>
>> Since 2.0.5 is a release branch it is getting more and more stable every

>>
>> The latest code in the trunk branch, which is 2.0.6-SNAPSHOT is much more
>> experimental and unstable and is not recommended to use for more than
>> testing purposes right now. That branch will still undergo many changes
>> before the 2.0.6 release, which will probably be at least 2 months from now.
>>
>> So, please update to the latest version of 2.0.5.
>>
>> You can follow 2.0.5 progress towards release here:
>> https://code.launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs-core/dhis2/2.0.5
>>
>> There is no automatically built .war file available for 2.0.5 on the
>> hudson server, so you will need to download the source code and build the
>> war file locally.
>> If that is problematic I can make a .war file (of 2.0.5 revision 2068)
>> available for download. Let me know.
>>
>> To get a local copy of the 2.0.5 release branch you need bazaar installed
>> and then the following command:
>> $bzr branch lp:~dhis2-devs-core/dhis2/2.0.5
>>
>> (more info on http://dhis2.org/development , but note the different
>> branch url above that you need to use to get the 2.0.5 branch)
