We have just uploaded new testversions on: http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php

Analysis: 0.9.3.6- EpiData EntryClient: 4.3.0.6- EpiData Manager: 4.3.1.119

We are still approaching public releases, but still lack some aspects. Remember to ALWAYS work on copies of data. In particular with this release if you use encryption since we have updated the strength of encryption to a stricter (modernized) level - SHA512.

The following changes has been made in particular in relation to securing that we meet new demands for encryption and logging in relation to the regulatory requirements.

During the coming week our inhouse complete test will be applied. But please do report any aspects you find problematic or strange.

In manager we have done a bit of re-arrangement of the menu's, such that defining a "key" is now part of the properties for the datasets (dataforms).

On the route to open-source we have done a test of having all source code installed in Canada by Jamie Hockin, who provided an updated "means" calculation in analysis, such that this should now be more precise. This was a promising test.

A list of all changes is shown below.

Best wishes

Manager:

* Jumps to fields can now also be key fields * Moved key selection from own windows to dataset properties * Added tools: Export Securitylog * Fixed several bug in exporting to Stata 13+

EntryClient: * Bugfixes related to jump * Bugfixes related to logging with Extended Access * Added posibility to mark a record as Verified  - observations that are "Marked for Deletion" cannot be directly marked as verified, but MUST be unmarked from deletion first. (under Extended Access this requires READ rights on the dataset) * Added additional information to the email body if the project is setup to create an email on close.

Common:

* Added "Days between password change" to Extended Access projects (and enforcement thereof) * Extended logging capabilities when using Extended Access * Better handling of recent files across Manager/Entryclient/Analysis * Updated cryptography of both Single Password and Extended Access from SHA1 to SHA512

Analysis: Consequential changes of the above to ensure reading and writing files accordingly.
