awesome thanks @wlthomson

The vaccines feature is progressing well and can be tracked at #1353

I suggest we move all the issues which didn't quite make it into 5.0 into here when we're ready. Then we can see what we're working with - maybe there will be room for a few refactors if we're lucky! 🎉

[wlthomson]

Nice!

The current thinking is to skip straight to v6.0.0 from v5.0.0 (no minors or patches), as it's looking like vaccine work will be not too far away (from discussion with @joshxg).

Plan is to move everything not completed in v5, and also the top priority lookup API issues here. Idea would be to get this released sometime towards end of this week or next week, at which point issues can be migrated to v6.1.0 minor (and any future urgent bugs to patches, e.g. v6.0.1).

[wlthomson]

Update:

Testers have done a really good job on v5.0.0... more issues than expected! Looking like v5.0.0 will be released next week (starting 11/05). Plan is still to go straight to v6.0.0, so at that point anything which isn't a release blocker will get moved over here!

[josh-griffin]

Sorry for the silence!

I've released the first RC version for 6.0.0 here: https://github.com/openmsupply/mobile/releases/tag/v6.0.0-rc0

There are draft docs in our internal google doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UPa2HNmUhithGoK0anmrQAKxkxcHpnJqG6W2H6sQZD4/edit

We are still waiting for at least 4.12 to be released for desktop. However Alain is looking to do some testing shortly as he has ordered a BlueMaestro sensor to test with 🎉 🎉 🎉

Given we are so far behind schedule on this release, once Alain has tested and 4.12 is released, I think we will ship 6.0.0 with or without the remaining issues

Sounds good 🎉.

Most mobile work has gone into v5.0.X patches, so I think this release is going to be 99% vaccines!

[josh-griffin]

Another update:

Alain has gone on holiday!

We have sent tablets and sensors to testers in ivory coast who will give the new version a spin - hopefully after that we can release, but it means this is continuing to be on hold for awhile!

[josh-griffin]

Update:

After a bit of a hiatus, there is a bit more being added to 6.0: Manually created, program based customer requisitions!

• This work is being started immediately.
• Alain is still testing Vaccines module. However, it appears that we may not officially release this module with the 6.0 release, anymore. We will however ensure it makes it into the code base, finally! We are waiting for WHO approval for the temperature sensor before making an official announcement of release, which may not be receieved before needing to release 6.0 for JSI and the customer requisition functionality.

The new deadline for this release is now 5th October!

[josh-griffin]

Update:

After more deadlines of other projects and additional requirements being added to the vaccine module, the decision has been made to disable the vaccine module for the 6.0 release which is required to delivery program customer requisitions.

#3175

Vaccine module will be re-enabled in the next release

[wlthomson]

@joshxg Any updated ETA on v6 and/or any help needed?

[josh-griffin]

Have had Bijay, Ana and Mai test the customer requisition module - all is looking OK.

Looking to release as soon as I have time to do general testing of the app (just double checking everything is still OK/regression testing)

[josh-griffin]

Sorry, I know this has taken a long time. @alainsussol is doing some last minute testing and so will give the green (or red??) light soon!

[josh-griffin]

Just waiting for this last PR for 6.0 : #3257 - totally releasing tomorrow!

[josh-griffin]

Released, finally!

Thanks to everyone involved :)
