GNU Health 1.3.3 released

I'm pleased to announce GNU Health 1.3.3

This version could be considered a milestone in itself, due the major changes and new features:

• New naming convention of modules and models. From  medical to gnuhealth
• New installation scripts (setup.py) . 
• Major improvements in the Laboratory module. Now we have automatic visual alerts, possibility to exclude analytes from the analysis, qualitative and quantitative testing. Contextualize results in the patient status (gender, age, comorbidities ... ).

As in every new release, bugs are fixed, navigation improved and new features are includes.

Since Health is now part of the official GNU system, the development is hosted at GNU Savannah.

Last but not least...  many thanks to Cedric and Tryton community for getting involved in the GNU Health project !
