November 11, 2016 - HAPI FHIR 2.1 Released - The next release of HAPI has now been uploaded to the Maven repos and GitHub's releases section.
This release brings several primary changes:
- STU3 definitions have been updated to the latest definitions (FHIR 1.7.0 - SVN 10129)
- Add support for FHIR Patch operation (thanks to Peter Girard of McKesson for his help on this!)
- Android library has been streamlined to use the OkHttp client by default (no more fighting with out-of-date Apache HttpClient. Thanks to Matt Clarke of Orion Health for his help on this!)
- The STU3 client now supports both the Conformance resource (which is going away) and the new CapabilityStatement (which replaces it). This should allow for a bridge while servers are migrated to the new resource type being returned by the
/metadata
endpoint.
This release also brings a number of bugfixes and also quite a few enhancements. As always, the changelog has the full list of changes in this version. Among the enhancements in this release are:
As always, we welcome new contributions and contributors! Please feel free to get in touch if you are interested in getting involved with HAPI but don't know where to start.
