    GNU Solidario is happy to announce the release of GNU Health 1.4.1, in which we have incorporated support for PyPI, the Python Package Index

    This version is compatible with the latest tryton release (2.2.0). Now GNU Health is also a set of python modules, fully integrated to the Python community.

    Thanks to the magic of pip, and the help of the Tryton community ( Cedric Krier, et al ), installing the latest GNU Health version is as easy as running

    pip install –user trytond_health_profile

    This will install the requirements ( the tryton server and all the standard GNU Health modules ) automatically and in your “$HOME/.local” directory. I will be updating the installation process at the wiki today.
    The main site is the GNU Savannah where all the development and discussion takes place.

    There are many improvements, bug fixes and news features, some of them :

    • CalDav compatibility (it allows complex calendar views and settings for appointments and hospitalizations)
    • Support for JSON RPC protocol
    • Fully Tryton 2.2 compatible
    • Enhanced Medication form
    • New Medicament categories
    • Medication pregnancy category
    • Included the latest WHO essential medicines (17th edition)
    • New translation engine (to be used with .po format)
    • Improve Laboratory model and functionality

    Thanks to all of you for contributing with your code, testing, translating and documenting the project !

    The Tryton team is happy to announce the 2.2 release of Tryton. 

    The changes on the user interface are once again really important:

    • The pop-up windows are now “no modal”, which means that they are linked to the tab in which they were opened. Creating a new tab is now possible. Also, switching from one tab to the other restores the state of the opened pop-up windows.
    • The search widget has been completely redesigned. We are now using a unique widget which allow users to use the search function in a much more natural way using a simple syntax. An auto-completion system has been included to help users write their search query.
    • The action toolbar on the bottom of the screen has been merged with main toolbar.
    • The user experience has been improved by using the same design from the Many2Many and One2Many widgets.

    More info and news: Tryton

    At the airport waiting …
    With a bit of nostalgia and sadness we finally got to the last day of Latinoware and IWEEE …
    Like it always happens in these events, the adrenaline of the previous planning and the end of it leave us with a sour taste !
    The last day of Latinoware was very intense, especially for the meetings with all the people met at IWEEE and for the commitments with the press for the interviews. 
    I leave you with a potpourri of “profesional ” and “social” pictures.
    A special acknowledgment to Joice Käfer, Cesar Brod and to the team of Latinoware that made all this possible: Joanne Candida, Michelle, Daniela Priscila de Oliveira Veronezi, Marcos Siriacos Martins and many more …
