About GNU Health Patchsets

We provide "patchsets" to stable releases. Patchsets allow applying bug fixes and updates on production systems. Always try to keep your production system up-to-date with the latest patches.

Patches and Patchsets maximize uptime for production systems, and keep your system updated, without the need to do a whole installation.

NOTE: Patchsets are applied on previously installed systems only. For new, fresh installations, download and install the whole tarball (ie, gnuhealth-3.4.1.tar.gz)

Updating your system with the GNU Health control Center

Starting GNU Health 3.x series, you can do automatic updates on the GNU Health and Tryton kernel and modules using the GNU Health control center program.

Please refer to the administration manual section ( https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Health/Control_Center )

The GNU Health control center works on standard installations (those done following the installation manual on wikibooks). Don't use it if you use an alternative method or if your distribution does not follow the GNU Health packaging guidelines.

Summary of this patchset

Patch 3.4.1 fixes issues related to the generation of the Federation Account, and it adapts the ID field on the federation objects.

The gnuhealth-control program and the documentation / man page have also been updated.

It is important to know that since 3.4.1 and Thalamus 0.9.8, the Health Information System has been migrated from MongoDB to PostgreSQL.

Refer to the List of issues related to this patchset for a comprehensive list of fixed bugs.
