v5.0.0

Patient Management v5.0.0 is a major release that introduces a BREAKING change. It migrates all the frontend modules in this monorepo to leverage the new module loading mechanism introduced in Core v5.

Highlights

Support for the new module-loading mechanism

Per the migration guide, this release introduces a routes.json file used to configure pages and extensions for each frontend module in this monorepo. It also makes the necessary changes to app entry points (src/index.ts), including specifying named exports for each extension and page. Specifying this dynamic and static metadata makes these modules compatible with the new module loading mechanism, enabling us to leverage the performance benefits on offer. This is a BREAKING change, and all distros that use these modules will need to update their configurations to use the latest versions of the core framework and openmrs tooling.

Show recently viewed patients in the search menu

This release adds the ability to view up to the last 10 patients whose charts you've viewed in the search menu. This feature should make it easier for clinicians to quickly access the charts of patients they've recently interacted with. Watch @jnsereko's video below for a demo of how this feature works:

Address hierarchy improvements

This release contains improvements to the address hierarchy widget in the registration form. It includes fixes to the search-by-level feature and ordering of address fields. It also adds support for showing possible entries for an address field based on the selected parent field.

Support for reverse order of name fields via configuration

This release adds support for reversing the order of name fields in the registration form via configuration from the default order of givenName > middleName > and familyName to familyName > middleName > givenName.

Fixes for registering unidentified patients and patients with unknown date of birth

This release adds fixes to the registration form so that it better supports registering patients with unknown names and estimated dates of birth.
