SORMAS Release Candidate 1.64.0

Release Information

With this release, the immunization module that was already partially introduced in recent releases (but incomplete and disabled) is fully functional and therefore enabled by default.

⚠️ Please note that the migration has been significantly improved in version 1.66.1. If you are currently running a version prior to 1.64.0, please directly upgrade to 1.66.1 in order to make sure that the migration on your server includes these improvements. They will not be included when you have already upgraded to 1.64 or 1.65.

Update Instructions

The new immunization module replaces the current case, contact and event participant fields related to vaccination and therefore requires the database to be migrated. This migration is automatically performed upon server start and could potentially result in a timeout on servers with a lot of data! If you encounter problems during the server start or suspect that your server might be affected, please manually execute the code contained in the attached "database_update.sql" file.

Please note that unsynchronized vaccination information that has been added to existing cases in the mobile app will be lost after updating to this version. Make sure that cases containing new information are synchronized before you update your server. Vaccination information related to new cases that have not been synchronized to the server are preserved.

New Feature Configurations

• EDIT_INFRASTRUCTURE_DATA: Allows users with the respective user rights to create, edit, import, and archive continents, subcontinents, countries, regions, districts, and communities.

New Server Properties

• documentUploadSizeLimitMb: Maximum file size allowed for the upload of documents and document templates in MB (Default: 20 MB).
• importFileSizeLimitMb: Maximum file size allowed for the upload of import files in MB (Default: 20 MB).
• Renamed sormas2sormas.etcd.clientName to central.etcd.clientName.
• Renamed sormas2sormas.etcd.clientPassword to central.etcd.clientPassword.
