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-3.6.1.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 HMIS 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 3.6.1 mainly fixes crash / tracebacks on medicament computation,
which is now using the standard product location quantities. Version
3.6.1 also provides the latest gnuhealth-control center tool. 

Installation Notes

You must apply previous patchsets before installing this patchset. If
your patchset level is 3.6.0 , then just follow the general
instructions.

In most cases, GNU Health Control center (gnuhealth-control) takes care
of applying the patches for you.
