This is a list of bugs/features that need to be accomplished before the 4.1.1 release. Please help out and complete these. If plan to help, then place your name in red next to the item (where the ????? is).

High Priority

• MySQL 5.5 compatibility

• Ensure access controls (gacl) are working ok since now are using InnoDB tables since this is the default in mysql 5.5 . (?????)
• Still may be some places where TYPE= needs to be changed to ENGINE= (?????)

• Audit engine potential bug(s) related to the sql_checksum_of_modified_row function: (?????)

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/openemr/forums/forum/202506/topic/5387664

• Extensively test the ERA uploading function (interface/billing/sl_eob_process.php), especially ensuring that the correct codetype and code get populated in the billing and ar_activity sql tables. (?????)
• Dated reminders using incorrect patient id (appears to be using id instead of pid in place(s). Bug needs to be confirmed and fixed. (?????)

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/openemr/forums/forum/202506/topic/4951707/

• A access control bug fix has unmasked several bugs. After fixing the acl_check() function in library/acl.inc to return the value (write,addonly,etc.) rather than simple true/false, several issues have been reported. A user has reported loss of Adminstration section by admin users in menu and also there is an issue in demographics screen that is controlled by having write privileges to medical/demogrpahics data that needs to be fixed. (If unable to fix/test this, then may makes sense to revert the acl_check() fix for this release; would need to discuss with community before making that decision.) (?????)

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/openemr/forums/forum/202506/topic/4736619

• Ensure overrided GenID() function in sql.inc is working in other parts of openemr, such as phpgacl stuff: http://github.com/bradymiller/openemr/commit/3891a7144567de92542ca5fb28861d3ff42 (?????)

Low Priority

• Fix all php short tags; this was dealt with a year ago, however, some more short tags have found their way into the codebase. Perhaps the form maker scripts also should be checked to ensure they are not producing any php short tags. (?????)

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/openemr/forums/forum/202506/topic/5560006

• Document names with UTF8 characters are getting changed to _ characters (?????)

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/openemr/forums/forum/202504/topic/5313509

• Some security fixes (have a report from AvantSys - plan to fix before make public - will email it to whomever wants to fix/analyse it) (?????)

• When creating a patient password for the portal, the fancybox has a live URL that can be clicked but the operator. This can lead to confusion as the portal will open and run inside that tiny little window making it a portal of a different sort. Suggest making the "Url" just text not a real link. --Tony - www.mi-squared.com 05:57, 24 August 2011 (UTC) (FIXED AND COMMITTED 9/12: OpenEMR links were changed to text only) (Brady)
