June 8, 2017 - HAPI FHIR 2.5 Released - The next release of HAPI has now been uploaded to the Maven repos and GitHub's releases section.
This release brings number of bugfixes and improvements. Most importantly for many users, this release brings a significant performance enhacement to the JPA server for searches. Essentially our search module has been rewritten to stream results back to the client as soon as they become available, and to reuse previous cached search results for a period of time. This cacheing behaviour in the JPA server is important to consider, since it does mean that your clients can see stale search results for a short period of time under some circumstances. The default cache period is 1 minute, but this can be changed or even disabled through configuration.
As always, the changelog has the full list of changes in this release. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release, either by submitting pull requests, suggesting new features, or filing bug requests!
