Hi all,

DHIS 2 version 2.0.6 is released.


Live package, WAR-file, Mobile client and source code can be downloaded from
here:

http://dhis2.org/downloads


Documentation, Javadocs and changelog can be found here:

http://dhis2.com/documentation


Feature highlights:

- Optimization for low bandwith environments. GIS, data entry and
maintenance modules are partly rewritten for minimal network usage.

- Greatly improved GIS. This component now supports selection of boundary
orgunits and levels, drilldown, graduated point symbols, open street map
backgrounds and more.

- Integrated mobile server component plus mobile facility data entry and
reporting client.

- Pivot table client tool which synchronizes data with online server and
provides "semi-online" analysis capabilities (server component included,
client tool awaiting final polishing and will be released next week).

- Data mart with support for complete, scheduled nightly tasks and improved
indexing, leading to drastically improved performance for all reporting
tools.

- Integrated patient/community module.

- Consistent export to PDF, CSV, XLS, HTML and Jasper reports for reporting
tools.

The move towards online deployments gives us shorter "time-to-market" for
bug fixes and new features, which opens up new possibilities for innovation
and quick adjustments to user requirements. Because of this we will maintain
the 2.0.6 release until the next release comes out, and recommend users to
check back on the downloads page to get the latest build. The release source
code branch can be browsed / checked out from here:

Re the development process, we have for the first time managed to
synchronize the development processes of the Indian team, the mobile team,
the patient/community devs and the GIS dev(s), which has made it possible to
provide such a powerful suite of tools covering many aspects of health
information management. This way of working makes us all stronger and is
definitely promising for the future.


regards,

Lars
