I know, I know...
Here's the update. V5.1 is just about there. It has successfully completed alpha and first beta and is pretty damn stable.
Yet, we continue to find small issues that could impact a number of clients, so I've held off moving it to wider beta (open to new clients and any folks with Guardian Angel Support & Maintenance). Currently we are exploring an issue that might make it not install on Vista 64 bit systems - which might affect a significant portion of our clients. I'll know more today about this problem. There are a few iPhone issues that are getting fixed as well.
I suspect by week's end to have the open beta available, but it isn't that we are slacking. On the contrary - our Dev/QA team is working late every night finding the issues, reprogramming to fix them, rebuilding the package, and testing the many layers (regression testing).
All that while we also prepare for our Meaningful Use Certification Test scheduled for 3 weeks from today (12/22/10) - which is the certification of V6, which has the ONC-ATCB requirements for the government reimbursement. (It may even make sense, since that version is expected to be released in early 2011, to not update to 5.1 and wait for 6 - depends on if you are dying for ePrescribing renewals, the iPhone App, and other enhancements.)
Again, sorry for the delay - but given how we used to release and then have our community be the QA team with build after build and install after install required, now we are working and testing to the point where the program should be pretty damn stable and free of significant issues.
