Steps detailing a patch release (using rel-502 (version 5.0.2) is given as an example):
- 1. Ensure the database changes have been added to the sql/patch.sql(and database.sql for new installs) file (and tests that it works)
- 2. Increment the $v_realpatch variable in the version.php file
- 3. Build a zip file of all files that have been modified in rel-600 (since the official 6.0.0 release)
- 4. Release the zip file
- Place it in the patch directory on the open-emr.org website
- On the OpenEMR Patches download page, place the description and a link to the patch file.
- Announce the release in the forums (both the patch thread and create a new thread in News), on the trackers(github and sourceforge), chats, on the Twitter Feed, on the Facebook page, on the Diaspora, on the Mastodon, on the LinkedIn OpenEMR group at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13589019, LinkedIn OpenEMR company page at https://www.linkedin.com/company/28995910, reddit openemr group at https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenEMR, Hacker News, and announce to registered users.
