#Compatibility #Compiler #Platforms #Release #InterSystems IRIS #InterSystems IRIS for Health #Documentation #Health Connect #InterSystems Official

The first developer previews of InterSystems IRIS® data platform, InterSystems IRIS® for Health, and HealthShare® Health Connect 2025.1 have been posted to the WRC developer preview site.  Containers can be found on our container registry and are tagged latest-preview.

These developer previews include the feature to migrate to IBM "Open XL C/C++ for AIX" 17.x compiler ensuring compatibility with future AIX builds as older compilers approach end-of-support. This migration focuses on the aixopenssl30 target, supporting SSL3 on AIX 7.2 and 7.3.

Initial documentation can be found at these links below:

Availability and Package Information

This release comes with classic installation packages for all supported platforms.  For a complete list, refer to the Supported Platforms document.

Installation packages and preview keys are available from the WRC's preview download site or through the evaluation services website (tick the "Show Preview Software" box).

Thank you for pointing that out! The documentation links currently serve as placeholders and will be updated as we get closer to the final build and have more details to share. Since this is an early Developer Preview, some content is still in progress, and we’ll provide full documentation as features are finalized. We appreciate your patience and feedback during this phase!

Hi! 

I'm really looking forward to testing the new release, but I seem to be missing a few clues—it's a bit like trying to solve a mystery without any hints! The page at this link is still empty, and I'm wondering if you could share some details about what's changed. It would be a huge help to know what new features have been implemented so we can put them to the test.

Thanks a lot for your assistance!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

The upgrade issue arises from differences between early and later preview versions. Early preview versions were built from a branch that is always considered newer than other branches, which affects the upgrade path. As a result, upgrading from these early versions to later ones may encounter issues.

We recommend installing the latest preview version directly rather than upgrading from an earlier preview.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

I completely understand your frustration, John. We acknowledge that clearer communication on upgrade compatibility would have been helpful, and we’ll work to improve how we document these kinds of changes in future Developer Previews. While we can’t guarantee direct upgrades from early "L" builds to later preview versions, we’re looking into possible ways to mitigate this for future updates. Thanks for your feedback, and we truly appreciate your engagement!

Tried to check 2025.1, but did not find it

$ docker inspect --format '{{ index .Config.Labels "com.intersystems.platform-version" }}' containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris:latest-{em,cd,preview}
2024.1.3.456.0
2024.3.0.217.0
2024.1.3.456.0

For some reason, the preview points to em version, why so?

For the community edition,

$ docker inspect --format '{{ index .Config.Labels "com.intersystems.platform-version" }}' containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:latest-{em,cd,preview}
2024.1.2.398.0com
2024.3.0.217.0com
2025.1.0.204.0com

At least here it is 2025.1 version

but, I've noticed that em version now not the same as for enterprise edition

Anyway, where is 2025.1 for the Enterprise version? The community edition is too limited to check everything on it.

The post is two months old at this point, but it's not available.

When I do that exact same thing, I get different results.  Have you pulled the latest version of the container?

docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris:latest-preview
...
docker inspect --format '{{ index .Config.Labels "com.intersystems.platform-version" }}' containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris:latest-preview
2025.1.0.204.0
