Greetings to you all!

I’m pleased to announce that OpenMRS 1.9 alpha is now available!  You can
download it  
here<https://sourceforge.net/projects/openmrs/files/prereleases/OpenMRS_1.9.0_Alpha/>
.

Note that this version of OpenMRS is a pre-release and not considered
worthy for production use. Please help us and the community by taking a few
minutes to test the best features that you currently use and the new
features you cannot wait to use. Then, should you happen to find any bugs,
please report 
them<http://tickets.openmrs.org/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10000&issuetype=1>in
our ticket tracking system, JIRA.

If you are a module developer, please test out your module against this 1.9
alpha, so that if you need to make any changes, you can do so well before
the final release.

*New Features:*

   - Grouping encounters into visits.
   - Multiple providers per encounter.
   - Additional attributes for concept mapping.

*User Interface Changes:*

   - The Manage Global Properties link has been changed into Settings where
   the global properties are grouped according to category. The old style of
   listing all without grouping can be accessed from the Advanced Settings
   link.
   - The Encounters tab on the patient dashboard is replaced with Visits
   unless you set the visits.enabled setting to false.

A big thank you to all that have contributed! Your hard work is a great
success. This release features 55 developers. To check some of your
contributions, and to download and try this out (not in a production
environment) and test your modules,* *head over to the release

Please continue to contribute all you can to make OpenMRS better and the
most reliable and robust open source medical records system in existence
today! We thank you all for making this all possible.

Congratulations all! We look forward to your continued support, dedication,
and contributions.
