Knowledge Manager 0.1.0 beta01

The Knowledge Manager 0.1.0 beta01 release updates the dependency on Clinical Reasoning and makes important changes to the APIs for loading knowledge artifacts:

• Update clinical reasoning dependencies [#2637]
• Load resources with url and optional version [#2666]
• Rename install API to index for file in knowledge manager [#2634]

FHIR Engine 1.0.0

The FHIR Engine v1.0.0 release includes major enhacements made to the sync API as well as changes in the search API and the dependencies of the library.

Feature Highlights

Upload strategies

The newly introduced upload strategies strike a balance between customizability and robustness of the sync logic, allowing applications to customize the way FHIR resources are uploaded to the FHIR server without having to deal with the implementation details. For example, applications can now upload changes using JSON patches, and bundle the changes in fewer requests to improve sync performance. Uploading using HTTP POST will be available soon, too. See available upload strategies and how to use them in a FhirSyncWorker.

Revamped sync status

The new sync status provides more accurate information on the sync jobs, combining job history with the status of the current job. See example.

Updated build rules

The application's build file no longer needs to include the force blocks to manually fix guava, jackson, and HAPI versions. See example.

Changelog
