The natural eventuality of our sincerest efforts which will bring a harmony of human resource precision.

15 Apr 2025
Another week, another milestone for openHR! Over the past two weeks, we set out to resolve at least 20% of all critical feature requests and minor to moderate system bugs ever reported—and not only did we meet that goal, we surpassed it.
 
Bug Fixing & Feature Updates
 
When we kicked off our resolution drive on 2 April 2025, our list contained 84 items. As we dug deeper, we identified 6 additional items, bringing the total to a rounded 90—why not round up for good measure?
 
Here's where things stand now:
 
  • At the start of the drive, 63 items had already been resolved and completed.
  • We tackled another 18 items from the list.
  • With the additional findings, our list now holds 90 items in total, with 81 resolved.
  • The remaining 9 items break down as follows: 
     
    • 5 moderate system bugs 
    • 2 critical feature requests (internal enhancements, with no impact on public users) 
    • 2 minor system bugs (including 1 that hasn't yet affected any user but is being proactively addressed to prevent future inconvenience) 
 
We're confident that our entire critical feature request and minor to moderate system bug list will be fully completed by 22 April 2025.
New Feature Development
 
Beyond bug fixes, openHR is forging ahead with 11 new modules, bringing fresh capabilities to users. These additions will mark the completion of:
 
  • Phase 2 (Advanced free and unlimited features—85% completed, tested, and deployed)
  • Phase 3 (Premium features—47% completed, tested, and deployed)
 
With these phases wrapping up, we're gearing up to step into Phase 4—opening the next chapter in openHR’s evolution. Phase 4 of openHR can be split into two parts: our journey beyond the Southern tip of Africa and the natural eventuality of our sincerest efforts which will bring a harmony of human resource precision.
