The openIMIS Initiative is happy to announce the last software release of openIMIS for this year. The developers committee has again bundled an exiting mix of updates and additions into this release:

• The modular migration of openIMIS was completed: all of the legacy functionality is now available on open source technology, including the integration of the mobile apps.

• The first results of the merger with the CORE-MIS software from The WorldBank are now included in the package as a preview. The experience of both communities qualify openIMIS even more for use cases in universal social protection such as unconditional cash transfer or its implementation as a unified beneficiary register.

• The team from Nepal contributed a number of features back into the main package that proved useful during daily work with the system.

• An impressive number of bug fixes and performance improvements was applied based on feedback from the field.
