To make collaboration simpler, the OpenVPMS code base is now being hosted at bitbucket.org, at https://bitbucket.org/OpenVPMS/openvpms

The subversion repository will still be accesible via svn://svn.openvpms.org/openvpms/projects/openvpms but no further commits will be made.

As of writing, branch:

• master is being used for 2.0.x development
• 2.1-dev is being used for 2.1 development

All new features are being added to the 2.1-dev branch.

   NOTE: we won't automatically approve changes. We may request that you make modifications, or include test cases.
