Over the past few months, our team has been hard at work building a better Atelier experience for you. With three major new features and more than twenty enhancements, Atelier 1.2.118 makes it easier for you to develop important applications. It now also supports InterSystems IRIS Data Platform™, which enables you to rapidly build scalable, interoperable, and analytical data-rich applications.
InterSystems is adopting a new approach to releasing InterSystems IRIS. This blog explains the new release model and what customers should expect to see. We laid this out at Global Summit at the end of the InterSystems IRIS roadmap session and have received a lot of positive feedback from customers.
With this new model we offer two release streams:
1) An annual traditional release that we call EM (for Extended Maintenance)
2) A quarterly release that is tagged CD (for Continuous Delivery) and will be available only in a container format.
InterSystems continuously monitors our systems for any evidence of attempts to exploit vulnerabilities such as the newly announced Meltdown and Spectre attack vectors.
At this time we have seen no indications of attempts to target InterSystems systems or technology using these vulnerabilities.
· InterSystems is aware of recently reported cybersecurity vulnerabilities known as Meltdown and Spectre that affect a wide range of computer processors (See US-CERT Alert TA 18-004A, Meltdown and Spectre Side-Channel Vulnerability Guidance,
Atelier has reached a threshold of feature completeness. Atelier 1.3 which is currently in flight will mainly focus on supporting the latest release of Eclipse Photon. After release, Atelier and Studio will continue to receive critical software corrections.
I'm pleased to announce that InterSystems Developer Community reached 5,000 registered members!
Thank you, developers, not only for registering but rather for making this place more and more helpful for everyone who develops and supports solutions on InterSystems Data Platforms all over the world! Big applause to all of us!
The Atelier 1.2 stable release update site (https://atelier.artifactoryonline.com/atelier/updates/stable/1.2/) has been updated to 1.2.119. This build contains all of the new features and enhancements the 1.2.118 beta build has as well as a number of bug fixes. Additionally, we have documented a list of the top time-saving keyboard shortcuts to help you become more productive. Give Atelier 1.2 a try and let us know what you think! Some of the key highlights include:
InterSystems has performed various system and application benchmarks to determine the potential performance impact after the corrections for Meltdown have been applied.
Stable Releases of the Atelier plugin are now available from the Eclipse Marketplace. Just search for Atelier on the Eclipse website (https://marketplace.eclipse.org) or - even better - in the Eclipse IDE.
This is an convenient way to install this plugin, because you no longer have to enter the URL.
As a developer, usually I'm concerned about how my code health is, and how the other coders code can affect to my own work. And I'm quite sure most of us feel very similar.
In our company we use a Static Code Analysis tool to analyze code for different languages to ensure we are writing high quality and easily maintainable code by following a few best practices in terms of code structure and content. And the question was: why should be different for Caché ObjectScript language?
Have you heard interesting things about Atelier, the InterSystems Eclipse plugin, and want to learn more?
Join @Michelle Stolwyk, a software developer at InterSystems, for Enter a New Era with Atelier, a webinar in which she shows how Atelier can simplify your development workflow. She also discusses the feature priorities InterSystems has for Atelier and even explains how your feedback can affect these priorities!

For many in today's interoperability landscape, REST reigns supreme. With the overabundance of tools and approaches to REST API development, what tools do you choose and what do you need to plan for before writing any code?
InterSystems IRIS Data Platform™ version 2018.2 is now available as a preview release. This is the first release in our new quarterly continuous-delivery (CD) release stream. (Check out the announcement about InterSystems’ new release cadence for InterSystems IRIS)
InterSystems is pleased to announce that InterSystems Caché and Ensemble 2018 are now released!
New in these releases are features that improve security and operations, including:
· Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) support · Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) integration · Integrated Windows Authentication support for HTTP · SSH enhancements
Come join us on Developer Week in NYC on 18-20 of June!
InterSystems has signed on for a high-level sponsorship and exhibitor space at this year's DeveloperWeek, billed as "New York City’s Largest Developer Conference & Expo". This is the first time we have participated in the event that organizers expect will draw more than 3,000 developers from 18th to 20th June.
I have created a simple package that allows the use of Cache with the Laravel Framework.
From my initial testing everything seems to be operating smoothly but I would like to appeal to the PHP users in the community to help me improve this package.
Who, in the age of digital transformation, doesn't want to reap more benefits out of any process, procedure, and resource we have? At InterSystems Solution Developers Conference (part of InterSystems Global Summit 2018) we will have sessions on how to improve the way applications are built with modern tools like Docker containers, Gitlab, Circle CI, Travis, etc., how continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) processes can help us deliver more value quickly to the end-user, and how we can start thinking about modernizing traditional applications.
