>>
>>
>> *Identifier schemes for export:* Data export supports identifier schemes
>> for name and code. The identifier scheme for data elements, organisation
>> units and categories can be set independently. This makes it possible to

>>
>>
>> *Category option combo codes:* You can now define codes for category
>> option combos through the user interface in the "data elements and
>> indicators" app. When combined with the identifier schemes for export, this
>> means that you can let third-party systems be authoritative on
>> "disaggregations" and exchange option combos using codes.
>>
>> Demo
>> <https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-datadictionary/categoryOptionCombo.action>
>>
>>
>> *Data exchange and deletion:* Data will now be deleted on import if the
>> data value being exchanged is empty or null. Data import now also handles
>> duplicates properly.
>>
>>
>> *Meta-data import access control:* User role authorities are now
>> respected in the meta-data importer. As ax example, a person can only
>> import data elements through the meta-data import if she is granted the
>> privilege for creating data elements. Previously the system had an
>> all-or-nothing authority for meta-data import.
>>
>>
>> *Tracker program summary report:* Report that allows you to view a
>> summary of all enrollments for a program and view information for each
>> stage in the program.

>> stage and due date. This is useful e.g. for community workers in need of
>> schedule.

>> *Security and hashing:* User passwords are now hashed using BCrypt. This
>> is a far superior algorithm compared the previously used MD5, which is now
>> considered insecure. Bcrypt can also be configured to be more expensive to
>> compute which provides better protection against brute-force attack going
>> forward.
>>
>>
>> *Configurable no of cores for database servers:* The number of CPU cores
>> of your database server can be configured as a system setting. This allows
>> the system to perform optimally when the database is hosted on a different
>> server than the application server, as the analytics engine scales linearly
>> on the number of available cores. Look for system setttings app > general
>> settings > "Number of database server CPUs".
>>
>> Demo
>> <https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-settings/systemGeneralSettings.action>
>>
>>
>> *System notifications:* A system setting for a system email address has
>> been added. Notifications about failures in processes such as analytics
>> table generation will be sent here. This is useful for application
>> monitoring. Look for system setttings app > general settings > "System
>> notifications email address".
>>
>> Demo
>> <https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-maintenance-settings/systemGeneralSettings.action>
>>
>>
>> *Custom forms scripting:* The system now provides a rich set of callback
>> methods for scripting in custom forms. This makes it possible to create
>> scripts that react on user loading a form, saving a value, clicking
>> complete and so on. Have a look at the "EPI stock form" on demo:
>>
>> Demo <https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-dataentry/index.action> |
>> Documentation
>> <https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch05s02.html#d5e909>

>> *Calendar:* All analysis and tracker apps now support all seven
>> calendars in the new calendar solution in DHIS 2, including Nepali.
>>
>> Screenshot <http://folk.uio.no/larshelg/images/217/analysis-calendar.png>
>>
>>
>> - Web API Features -
>>
>>
>> *GeoJSON support:* The organisation unit resource now supports GeoJSON
>> meaning you can easily export geographical information. GeoJSON is a format
>> for encoding a variety of geographic data structures.
>>
>> Docs
>> <https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s23.html#d5e3319>
>>
>>
>> *User invites:* You can now crate a batch of invitations through the
>> invite resource. This is feasible for creating scripts for bootstrapping a
>> system by inviting a large number of users.
>>
>> Docs <https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s36.html>
>>
>>
>> *CSV data exchange:* Data import and export using CSV is fully supported
>> in the Web API.
>>
>> Docs
>> <https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s10.html#d5e1454>
>>
>>
>> *Completeness:* Complete data set registrations can now be exchanged in
>> the Web API.
>>
>> Docs <https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s12.html>
>>
>>
>> *Collections modifications:* A new resource has been added for adding
>> and removing items of collections inside objects without having to submit
>> the entire object. As an example, you can easily add a data element to a
>> data element group just by sending the identifiers of the data element
>> group and and the data element you would like to add.
>>
>> Docs
>> <https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s08.html#d5e1000>
>>
>> *Field filtering:* A new "persisted" preset for getting persisted
>> properties only has been added to the field filter, as well as an "owner"
>> 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
>> passwords.
>>
>>
>> *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.
