+ Dec 17, 2014 - HAPI FHIR 0.8 Released - HAPI 0.8 has been released!
+ As always, thanks to everyone who contributed on this; this release includes
+ a lot of bug fixes and new features from around the world.
+
+ See the changelog
+ for a complete list of what's new!
+
+ In particular, this release marks the beginning of our push to separate the model
+ classes (e.g. Patient, Encounter, etc.) from the core API, so that you can use any
+ version of the structures you want in your application, or even combine versions if
+ you need to. As is the case with HAPI's HL7 v2 library, you now need to include at least
+ one new separate "structures" JAR with your application as of HAPI-FHIR 0.8. See the
+ Upgrading
+ and
+ Download
+ pages for more information.
+
+ With the newly separated "structures" dependencies, we have also introduced
+ a separate "dev" version of the structures, which contains the current development
+ structure definitions, which are now close to being in their final DSTU2 state
+ (DSTU2 should be released in mid 2015 by HL7 although the date is not yet finalized).
+ DSTU2 contains a number of new and updated resource definitions, but it also makes
+ several infrastructure changes including a new Bundle format and a new encoding style
+ for extensions in JSON. These changes are not yet supported in HAPI-FHIR 0.8, but
+ will be included in HAPI-FHIR 0.9. We expect to deploy a working snapshot build of
+ HAPI-FHIR 0.9 within the next day or so, including all of these changes.
+
+ One further note: We are currently working with Grahame Grieve on an initiative
+ to harmonize HAPI's model objects with the FHIR Java Reference Implementation. This
+ means that developers should in the future be able to use either the HAPI built-in
+ resource definitions or the ones shipped by HL7. The advantage to this is that
+ it will allow users of HAPI's API to take advantage of other tooling produced
+ by HL7 (such as profile validators). Please get in touch (either by email or
+ on the Google Group) if you would like to help test this.
