A new improved version of lusid has just been release (on sourceforge). This fixes a few problems, adds a year abroad logbook and adds UK (IMS) LIP import and export.

Added option of unencrypted database password to alleviate encryption problems; created new IMS compliant telephone fields; added a year abroad reflective logbook; improved accessibility (although there is more to do); tidied up issues surrounding the admin user account - this is now registered at institution '0' ("no institution"); allowed the system to be run with just one institution; added link to download IMS LIP version (actually UK LIP / UKLeaP) of an individual's records; fixed the upload of IMS LIP records; numerous bug fixes.
