SORMAS 1.91

Feature Configuration Changes

• Added a new property called HIDE_JURISDICTION_FIELDS to the CASE_SURVEILANCE feature type: If enabled, allows users to set a default region, district, and community for the server, and hides jurisdiction fields from cases and locations. Default values will be automatically used instead. Might have unexpected side effects on other feature modules, e.g. contact tracing or event surveillance, and should only be used on systems exclusively used for case surveillance.

sudo -u postgres psql -c "DROP DATABASE sormas_audit_db;"
