Announcing developer preview #4 for InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, & HealthShare Health Connect 2023.1

InterSystems announces its fourth developer preview, as part of the developer preview program for the 2023.1 release. Many updates and enhancements have been added in 2023.1 and there are also brand-new capabilities, such as production-ready support for Columnar Storage, ability to use Bulk FHIR, and support to MacOS 13 Ventura. Additionally, a new feature to provide the ability to use Foreign Tables is being released as "experimental" and will be accessible through an Early Access Program (EAP). Some of these features or improvements may not be available in this current developer preview.

Future preview releases are expected to be updated biweekly and we will add features as they are ready. Please share your feedback through the Developer Community so we can build a better product together.
