+ November 13, 2019 - HAPI FHIR 4.1.0 (Jitterbug) -
+ It's time for another release of HAPI FHIR!
+
+
+ This release brings some good stuff, including:
+
+
+ -
+ ValueSets are now automatically pre-expanded by the JPA server into
+ a dedicated set of database tables. This "precalculated expansion" is used
+ to provide much better performance for validation and expanion operations, and
+ introduced the ability to successfully expand very large ValueSets
+ such as the LOINC implicit (all codes) valueset.
+
+ -
+ Support for the FHIR Bulk Export specification has been added. We are now
+ working on adding support for Bulk Import!
+
+ -
+ First-order support for ElasticSearch as a full-text and terminology service
+ backend implementation. At this time, both raw Lucene and ElasticSearch are
+ supported (this may change in the future but we do not have any current
+ plans to deprecate Lucene).
+
+ -
+ Live Terminology Service operations for terminology file maintenance based on
+ delta files has been added.
+
+ -
+ Binary resources and Media/DocumentReference instances with binary attachments
+ stored in the FHIR repository can now take advantage of
+ externalized binary storage for the binary content when that feature is enabled.
+ This allows much better scalability of repositories containing large amounts
+ of binary content (e.g. document repositories).
+
+
+
+ As always, see the
+ changelog for a full list
+ of changes.
+
+
+ Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
+
+
+ Also, as a reminder, if you have not already filled out our annual
+ user survey, please take a moment to do so. Access the survey here:
