Hi all,

DHIS 2 version 2.5 is released. We have a range of new modules and functions
for you (demo login is admin/district):

- New Data Visualizer module: A module for generating dynamic data analysis
and visualization. You can select freely from indicators, data elements,
(relative) periods and organisation units as chart dimensions. Data can be
visualized as column, bar, stacked column, stacked bar, line, area and pie
chart. Which dimensions to use as series, categories and filter can be
selected at any time. We have tried to make it very easy-to-use and you will
never encounter cryptic user feedback. This strengthens the possibility for
DHIS users to create ad-hoc analysis.

At the moment this module deliberately offers a minimum set of features. We
encourage you to provide suggestions and comments for future development.
More on this in a later mail.

- New web mobile module: Web based interface for low-end mobile devices.
This module benefits from the general advantages of web deployments: Easy
meta-data maintenance. No client version to manage. Additionally it
increases the opportunity to use existing mobile devices. It contains
functionality for data entry in addition to charts, reports and documents
from the user's dashboard.

- Single-event data management: Functionality for capturing single-event
data for events such as births, deaths and referrals. The beneficiary
registration is moved to case-based data entry module. Programs can now be
defined as single-event based. After registering a beneficiary one can
directly enter data for such single-event based "programs". This is in fact
a simpler use-case than the program-based data which is already supported.

- Meta-data attributes: Arbitrary attributes can now be added to data
elements, indicators, organisation units and users. This comes in handy when
making data dictionaries, when additional info is required for users and so
on. Attributes can be added in data administration module and will become
visible in the respective add and update screens for each object. In
addition, all group sets which are marked as compulsory will appear as a
drop-down list (where the groups are options).

- Email notifications of messages: Messages which are sent in the DHIS
internal messaging systems can now also be delivered to the email address of
the user recipients. Email SMTP settings are configurable in settings module
(system email settings). Each user can decide to receive emails under user
email settings.

- Improved data statistics: Data statistics (under data administration
module) now displays the number of unique user being logged in and data
records entered for the last day, week and month.

- Editable categories: You can now add or remove category options from
categories after they have been created. This should alleviate some of the
rigidness of the category model.

- Stacked bar chart: The pre-defined (canned) chart module now offers
stacked bar charts.
