February 4, 2016 - HAPI FHIR 1.4 Released - The next release of HAPI has now been uploaded to the Maven repos and GitHub's releases section.

This release has taken a lot longer than originally planned. Mainly this is because we have taken a number of huge steps towards integrating HAPI FHIR with the HL7.org Java Reference Implementation. This effort will mean great things for all Java FHIR developers from now on, as it will bring a rich set of tools to everyone. See the DSTU3/RI page for information on this effort.

This release brings a number of bugfixes and a few bigger things. As always, the changelog has the full list of changes in this version. Some changes of note include:

  • This release adds support for the current draft DSTU3 structure definitions, which were called DSTU2.1 until the decision in January by HL7 to call the next release DSTU3. See the downloads page for information on the various versions of FHIR supported by HAPI FHIR.
  • Two great new modules to HAPI FHIR have been contributed to the project! A huge thanks to both contributors for their ongoing efforts.
  • A new OSGi module (hapi-fhir-osgi-core) has been contributed by Akana. This module was originally added in the 1.3 release cycle but was cleaned up for use in 1.4.
  • A new adapter (hapi-fhir-jaxrsserver-base) which allows the RESTful server to be used in JAX-RS environment was contributed by AGFA Healthcare.
  • The Command-Line tool (hapi-fhir-cli) has been given options to start the server and uploader tools in either DSTU2 or DSTU3 mode. Both are supported by the same tool installation.
  • Several of HAPI's library dependencies have been upgraded to the latest version (see the first entry in the changelog)

And just a reminder, if you haven't yet filled out the HAPI FHIR Community Survey, we would really appreciate if you did so!
