SORMAS Release Candidate 1.76.0

⚠️ Release Information

• We've increased the minimum required Android version to run the mobile app from 7.0 to 8.0 with this release. Please make sure that all devices connected to your server that run the mobile app support and are updated to this version.
• A lot of indexes have been created for this release in order to improve performance. If deployment fails (because the creation takes too long), these indexes can be created manually by executing the attached script.
• The geocoding and map tile server URLs in the properties file now have to use https. Server start will fail if this is not the case.
• Until now, events have not been properly validated when pushed through the API. It is possible that external services pushing events to SORMAS will now experience errors. In that case, pushed data has to be adjusted according to the API specifications.

SORMAS Release Candidate 1.75.0

Release Information

Occupation types have been refactored into a customizable enum with this release. By default, the database will only be populated with four default values, as well as any other occupation type assigned to a person on the respective system. Occupation types that have been selectable before, but have never been used, will be removed from SORMAS after this update.

If you run a server with the de-DE locale, you might want to execute the script in the attachments in order to correct occupation types that have been mis-translated in the past.

Feature Configuration Changes

• Added CASE_AND_CONTACT_BULK_ACTIONS: Enables/disables bulk editing of cases and contacts in the web app.
• Added an S2S_SHARING property to CASE_AND_CONTACT_BULK_ACTIONS: Enables/disables bulk sharing cases and contacts via S2S.
• Removed SORMAS_TO_SORMAS_SHARE_CASES_WITH_CONTACTS_AND_SAMPLES and replaced it with distinct feature types for case and contact sharing (see below). The new feature types potentially need to be reconfigured.
• Added SORMAS_TO_SORMAS_SHARE_CASES with three properties: SHARE_ASSOCIATED_CONTACTS, SHARE_SAMPLES, and SHARE_IMMUNIZATIONS.
• Added SORMAS_TO_SORMAS_SHARE_CONTACTS with two properties: SHARE_SAMPLES and SHARE_IMMUNIZATIONS.
• Added new properties to SORMAS_TO_SORMAS_SHARE_EVENTS: SHARE_SAMPLES and SHARE_IMMUNIZATIONS.
